Do it Yourself Wedding Reception- menus

Because we didn't hire a caterer we wanted the meal to be simple and not too time consuming, but delicious of course. And pairing well with wine and then venue were important too. For appetizers, meat and cheese platters seemed ideal. This is really an easy thing to do and it looks great and doesn't require a lot of work.

I also collected wooden cutting boards and wooden and metal bowls from friends and family to be used to lay everything out. I found chalkboard tags at a craft store and those were perfect for labelling everything.

The main part of dinner was pretty simple, it consisted of:

-corn on the cob
-buns
-green salad
-quinoa salad
-potato salad
-pork tenderloin
-grilled salmon
-steaks

Everything was done on the BBQ and served in warming dishes buffet style. Recipes to follow.
