Question 1

Do I need menu counts? When?

Accepted Answer

For plated packages, a menu count is due 10 days before your wedding. To facilitate this, we ask that you put meal choices on your RSVP cards.

On wedding day, servers will confirm orders with your guests, but the menu count helps our kitchen prepare for your big day.

Question 2

What are the pros and cons of a plated vs. stations wedding?

Accepted Answer

We get this question A LOT. Some things to consider:

Guest count – We find that stations packages work best for weddings of 175 guests or fewer. First, the food stations take up space, which is at a premium for large guest counts. Second, it can be cumbersome and time consuming to get 175+ people through a buffet line. A plated dinner is often a faster option for large guest counts.

Why are you considering stations? A lot of couples think that a Stations dinner will allow more time for dancing. Some people will eat, and other people will hit the dance floor right away, right? Not always. We find that most people expect a certain flow to a country club wedding (i.e. introductions, first dances, toasts, dinner, dancing). Whether you do a plated dinner or a stations dinner, most guests are going to want to eat before hitting the dance floor.

Do you have a band? To piggyback on the above - often, a band will play “dinner music” during..well..dinner. Even if guests want to dance when you open the dinner stations, it might not be feasible with the musical vibe. A plated dinner can be the perfect time for your band to take a break and eat their vendor meal.

Question 3

How many people can sit at each table?

Accepted Answer

The short answer: anywhere from 7 – 12 people can sit at a table. Feel free to mix and match!

After your menu tasting, we’ll send a mock floor plan that you can start playing with. We have two different size tables.

Generally, we use:
60” round table | 7-9 guests
72” round table | 10 – 12 guests

But you don't have to worry about table sizes - just let us know how many people are sitting at each table.
