In Indian weddings, food is the heart and soul (especially for the foodie-guests!). Offering several dishes and varieties of sweets and delicacies to show off their wealth is a common affair in this country. Choosing the best way to serve food can be quite mind-boggling since you have either of two choices: banquet or buffet style. Here are some pros and cons to help you make a decision between banquet and buffet style.
Buffet style – Hot food and all that you want
At a buffet-style meal, guests can get up and eat whenever they like. You don’t have to pass dishes around the table, and no one has to wait for second helpings. With allergies and general likes and dislikes to deal with, food can be an ordeal for a host. It’s nearly impossible to plan a single three-course meal to please an entire crowd. A buffet provides the liberty to serve a variety of dishes that might not otherwise fit together.
Banquet style – A grandiose spread for your guests
The trend of long, banquet-style tables has gained popularity amongst new to-be couples. They’re also an excellent way to make even the largest wedding feel super intimate. The best thing about the banquet style is that dinner won’t be a crowded affair, though this style of serving requires you to hire extra serving hands. Banquet style resembles a family dinner with prepared food spread out in the tables. It portrays the image of a family dinner with an opportunity to chat with people around you and eat in peace.
Banquet or Buffet – It’s Your Choice
So, in the end all you need to do is lay out your restrictions and requirements and compare. Banquet or buffet, it all depends on how you serve and make your guests feel welcome.
