Food stations can be a great alternative to a traditional buffet. They give the two of you a chance to show off your personality, and can often be very budget friendly. Here are 10 ideas for what to serve at your own food station:
Tacos-Let your guests choose their protein: shredded pork, chicken, beef, or fish, and give them plenty of options for condiments and toppings.
Antipasti- Load tables up with Italian cheeses, meats, crackers, and olive-oil drenched veggies.
Breakfast in the wee hours- Plan on dancing long past midnight? Surprise your friends and family with an omelette bar or make-your-own pancake station. Think outside the box with toppings-anything from chopped pecans to creme fraiche.
Fondue-Hot pots of different cheeses and broths are perfect for dipping bread, veggies, and chicken.
Noodle bar- Love Asian food? Have your caterers heat up their woks and prepare different sauces and noodles.
Sliders- Your guests can choose between veggie patties, chicken, lamb, and beef and pair them with condiments such as gourmet mustards, pickles, cheeses, and sauteed red peppers.
Baked potatoes-For a rustic wedding, or simple shower, baked potatoes can be the best sort of comfort food. Serve them with the usual topping fare and unexpected surprises like BBQ pork.
Deluxe sandwiches-Your friends can make their own Monte Cristo or grilled cheese sandwiches. With the right cheeses and meats, this can be nostalgic and gourmet.
Pasta- Pile a table high with an assortment of different Italian pastas and sauces. Don't forget the meatballs!
Deep fry fun-For a laidback summer affair, set up a row of deep fryers for your catering staff. With sweet and savory batters, nothing is off limits!
