To ensure you have delicious food on your special day without breaking the bank here are some suggestions from the team behind, to get the most from your budget.


1. Keep it simple Your wedding day is always an opportunity to show off and many couples make the mistake of serving complicated and lavish cuisine. However the problem is that not only is this very expensive as you will be paying for overpriced chefs, staff and ingredients - but your guests might not even like it. Keep food simple, with easy home-made classics with organic ingredients, this way its easier on your bank account and your guests are more likely to enjoy a more classic menu.


2. Don't rule out a Buffet The wedding buffet has proved unpopular in recent years with many people perceiving a buffet as unsuitable and not "posh" enough for a wedding. There are a lot of to a buffet, guests can eat what they want , when they want and pick from a variety of dishes. When serving a buffet don't believe that the quality of your food will be any less- it won't. Buffets are also perfect for a longer wedding - if guests get hungry into the night instead of nipping to the nearest takeaway- put on a late night buffet with a host of favourite snacks.


3. Get help from family and friends The average wedding cake costs around $300, a really expensive add on to your big day. However if a family member is particularly good at baking then ask them to make you a cake for you- it will probably be more delicious. Your family and friends can also help greatly when it comes to the organization of a wedding, whether it be adding the finishing touches to the venue or providing a helping hand with the catering, Many people find it easier to trust friends and family and than paid staff. If you are having a buffet, ask if family members can bring their own dish, to make the event more personal.


4. Alternative menu ideas A sit down meal and a buffet might not be to everyone's disposition, but there are any alternatives out there to make your wedding a little more different but no less wonderful. If you are having a summer wedding and the weather is sunny and warm, why not have a barbeque complete with a salad bar and condiments or for the more country weddings how about a hog roast? the Dallas catering company advises that if you have a preferred style of cuisine in mind, why not have a selection of dishes from that nation, Italian menus and Indian menus at weddings are extremely popular.
