How to Match Food to a Wedding Theme


Wouldn’t you agree that a great wedding celebration has great food?  Not only that but the style of the menu should make sense with the style of the wedding.   Here are a few tips on how to match your wedding food to the theme of your wedding:



  • Traditional Wedding – Serve traditional; Think filet mignon, roasted asparagus, and red bliss potatoes.

  • Modern Wedding - Think creative and contemporary cuisine.  Food stations work particularly well for this type of reception, as it allows you to offer your guests an eclectic selection of your favorite foods, whether you love Asian-fusion, heirloom bacon, or sushi

  • Casual Wedding - Opt for down-home favorites, with an emphasis on comfort foods. A buffet style or family service works best for very informal receptions. You could have a mashed potato bar, mac and cheese shooters, chicken fried steak, fried green tomatoes, etc.  Perhaps bring in a family favorite recipe. 

Matching the style of the wedding food to the location is important.  You wouldn’t go to a five star restaurant expecting to be served chicken nuggets.  The same holds true for a wedding reception.  Serve food appropriate to the theme of your wedding and everyone will leave happy.
