Buffet Service

Our buffets are bountiful,
naturally beautiful and the
perfect choice for any size
party.  We strongly recommend
buffets for parties over 80
guests. Why?
  • Better variety of foods for
    different people's tastes
    and appetites.
  • Best temperature control
    of foods.
  • Double sided buffets
    ensure guests get through
    in timely way.
  • 1 hour needed for guests
    to go through buffet.
  • Seconds available.
  • Best decorative options:
    flowers, candles, props,
    linens, etc.
  • Buffets can be set up
    practically anywhere.
  • Kitchen is not required.
  • Guests are excused by
    table, so no long lines form
    at the buffet.
  • Lowest cost, since it
    requires fewer servers and
    no kitchen assistants.
Family Style
Service

Family style service is very
popular because if offers an  
intimate feel and no standing
in line for food.
Family style service presents a
number of issues:
  • Kitchen and/or prep
    space required. Kitchen
    must be close to the
    guest tables.
  • Decoration space on
    guest tables more
    limited.
  • Full two hours required
    for dinner.
  • Difficult to serve foods
    hot; best for room
    temperature foods.
  • At parties with 60+  
    guests,  tables ideally
    have 12 guests at each.
  • Higher cost, since extra
    servers and kitchen
    assistants are needed.
Plated Service

Plated meals are our first
choice for special dinners with
fewer than 50 guests. Best for
groups who share a love for
certain kinds of foods or those
who want to match wines with
each course. Beautiful
presentation and no food
wasted. Also a great way to
feature special foods like
seafood or expensive cuts of
meat. Plated service presents  
a few issues:
  • Kitchen and prep space
    required. Kitchen must
    be close to the guest
    tables.
  • Two full hours needed for
    dinner.
  • Higher cost, as it
    requires extra servers
    and kitchen assistants.
Combination
Service
Options include plated salads
with buffet main dish, family
style salads with plated main
course, plated salads with
family style main course, etc.
