With this size group you have to provide a vegetarian entree, or at least a side dish that can serve as a meatless entree.
pulled pork, 1 pound ready to serve per 4 Have about 20 veggie patties (Boca or Morning Star) or a big crock pot full of vegetarian sausages. Field roast is a good brand. Please consider adding 5-6 gallons of slaw
baked beans, 6 gallons Vegetable relish tray, use the veggie tray page, do 2 times the classic relish tray and raw veggies for 100 (tray for 25 x 4.) potato chips, 1 pound per 12, 1 pint dip/ salsa per pound
popcorn, 6 pounds seed per 100 cake control costs by having a grooms cake or kitchen cakes (sheet cakes in the wedding cake flavor). 1 sheet is 60 servings. If this saves you time, trouble or money, please make a donation, a nickel or dime per guest, to support this site. |

Wedding reception 150 Alicia To make a surer success of your effort, make an appetizer plan, especially if you are grilling, and here is why: A self-catered buffet is a real challenge to the organizers, and things don't always come together as smoothly as hoped. By planning and setting up an appetizer area or "nibble table" which is ready when the guests begin to arrive, the cooks and servers have time to complete the arrangement of the dinner buffet. This is especially critical if there are children among the guests, or there is a wait before dinner, as at a wedding reception. This does not have to be complicated. Three items, plus a punch, or two if one is alcoholic, are sufficient. Typically, include a fruit tray, a cheese tray and an attractive dip or spread; or you can go with a dinner theme such as TexMex with chips, salsas, Texas caviar and guacamole; Italian with bruschetta or antipasto; maybe shrimps or other cold seafood, if budget permits. One appetizer service area serves about 100 guests.
Baked Chicken, You need to add a vegetarian entree option,12-20 servings
Green Beans, 20 pounds per 100 (4 #10 cans) pasta Salad, 8 pounds dry pasta per 100 dinner rolls 2 per person, 3 pounds butter per 100
Iced Tea, 8 gallons per 100, 1/3 unsweetened cake- control costs by having a grooms cake or kitchen cakes (sheet cakes in the wedding cake flavor). 1 sheet is 60 servings. Decide how big a wedding cake you want, then order the rest in the other choices. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site.
