Give me your opinions on our food! It is a Sunday brunch wedding.
Hi everyone,
We just got our quote from our caterer. I like it - but I want to make sure I am not wearing rose coloured glasses :)
Our wedding is September 5, 2021. It is a Sunday long weekend brunch. Our main goal is a boozy catch-up brunch with friends. Both my fiance and I are vegetarians, so we wanted the main part of the meal to be veggie friendly (we don't want to be the afterthoughts). But we are OK adding meat as an option, and we want to show off some Atlantic lobster as we have family coming to us.
Our ceremony starts at 11:00. We are having pain au chocolate, blueberry muffins, and butter croissants for our guests to enjoy prior to the ceremony starting. We will also offer coffee (with some Baileys), a glass of prosecco, orange juice or water.
We are doing a cocktail hour and a half (11:30-1:00). Our \*hope\* is we will do photos for the first hour, and we will get to enjoy the last bit with our guests. Probably not going to happen, but we are hopeful! We are having a stationary grazing table (typical meats/ cheese/ breads/ fruits/ dips, as well as a showcase of our favourite "fake" meats from our favourite "fake meat" butcher). For passed apps we are doing: lobster rolls, mushroom brushetta, and a red pepper/cheddar quiche.
We will have an open limited bar. We are thinking: mimosas, mules, sangria, two types of beer, a white, a rose, jager bombs (our friends would be very disappointed if we didn't), and then orange juice, water, and pop. Are we missing a brunch-y drink? My partner and I are huge on mimosas and mules.
Brunch will be from 1:00-4:00. We are doing a plated brunch.
Salad - beet/ baby argula/ pecans/ goat cheese with pesto dressing
Soup - PEI potato chowder (with an option of adding chorizo sausage)
Main: Option of a spinach/swiss eggs benny with herb roasted potatoes, OR a breakfast sandwich (bacon, toamto, cheddar, avocado) on brioche also with herb roasted potatoes
Dessert - a small sticky toffee pudding with ice cream.
We are deciding on our cake...... I kinda want to do a huge cinnamon roll. My partner wants cupcakes.
Drink options for brunch will be the same as cocktail hour.
What would you change?
