They say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. So the food isn’t something we want to neglect for your big day.
So first up, let’s talk about appetisers or entrees— hor d’oeuvres as the French would like to call it. It’s the wedding food that’s served before the wedding ceremony or at the reception as the guests wait for the bride and groom.
1. Appetizers

2. Main Course
Next, one that should never disappoint; Main Course. After a couple of small plates, in comes the long awaited main course that guests look forward to. Like the main character in a movie, this is the wedding food’s main attraction.
When planning for your main course you have to consider different kinds of guests with different types of preferences and dietary restrictions. Here’s a safe formula when planning for your wedding food main course:
Sides
Vegetables, can’t go wrong with that. Salad or steamed, add in butter to amp the flavour if you wish. Potatoes, such as: gratin, fries, baked, or mashed definitely don’t sound disappointing.
After choosing the side of your choice,
Meat
You could choose probably 2-4 depending on your desire but it’s best to have options since some opt for fish or poultry rather than beef or pork.
Here are some common main course ideas that your guests would love:
- Pork Chop
- Fish fillet
- Salmon with sauce
