Updated: Aug 13




Hey there, fellow foodies and soon-to-be-weds!


As your go-to wedding planning team, we're here to spice up your big day with mouthwatering food ideas that will have your guests talking long after the last dance. From late-night ramen bars to family-style dinners and innovative cocktails, let's dive into the delicious details of wedding cuisine done right!


  1. Late-Night Ramen Bars: Picture this: It's the wee hours of the morning, and your guests have worked up an appetite from tearing up the dance floor. Enter the late-night ramen bar, where steaming bowls of savory broth, chewy noodles, and flavorful toppings await. Whether you opt for classic tonkotsu ramen or get creative with fusion flavors like spicy miso or vegan shoyu, a late-night ramen bar is sure to be a hit with guests of all ages.

  2. Family-Style Dinners: Say goodbye to stuffy plated dinners and hello to the warmth and intimacy of family-style dining. Gather your nearest and dearest around long banquet tables adorned with rustic platters of seasonal dishes and comfort food favorites. From hearty braised meats and roasted vegetables to creamy risottos and buttery mashed potatoes, family-style dinners evoke a sense of togetherness and celebration that's perfect for your reception.


  3. Creative Cocktails: Elevate your cocktail hour with imaginative libations that reflect your personalities and taste preferences. Swap out the standard open bar for a curated cocktail menu featuring inventive concoctions like herb-infused gin and tonics, smoked old fashioneds, and floral-inspired spritzers. Want to add a personal touch? Consider creating signature cocktails that pay homage to your love story or favorite ingredients.


  4. Farewell to Fancy Cocktail Hour Food: Let's face it – those fancy hors d'oeuvres with unpronounceable names and minuscule portions often leave guests hungry and confused. Instead, opt for crowd-pleasing appetizers that are as delicious as they are approachable. Think gourmet sliders, crispy chicken wings, and mini grilled cheese sandwiches served with a variety of dipping sauces. After all, who can resist the allure of comfort food done right?

  5. Private Dinner for Two: Why not savor a private meal as the newlyweds before the dinner service kicks off? After all the effort you've put into selecting your favorite dishes, it would be a shame not to enjoy them. As dinner begins, you'll be surrounded by excited guests and photographers vying for your attention. Taking just 10-15 minutes to dine in peace will give you the chance to refuel for the festivities ahead and relish some quality time together!


With these tasty food ideas in your wedding planning arsenal, your big day is sure to be a gastronomic delight. From late-night ramen bars to family-style dinners and creative cocktails, let's transform your wedding into a culinary masterpiece that reflects your unique love story and delights your guests at every turn.


Bon appétit and happy planning! <3
