Great info! Thought it's making me hungry talking about catering!

Hello Emely, I´m Alvaro Osorio - Wedding Waiter from Lima - Peru. I like my job. The gastronomic experience in weddings is beutiful.

What type of catering, would work best for a cocktail wedding reception.

I've only watched this video, but I was wondering if you've mentioned French Style: servers bring food on platters and serve guests individually. Servers control food portion and presentation. Russian Style: servers bring food to table's on platters,guests serve themselves and choose their portions (like Downtown Abbey). The most familiar to myself is Country/ Family/Italian dining style. At weddings/receptions of 100-500 this is the one most typical in ethnic circles. It usually came out to 50$ a head for a soup, salad,two protein,one starch,cooked veg,and dessert 4 - 5 course meal. I've never seen food truck or stations at a wedding - this one was most informative. Buffets are most popular at showers, and drop /pickup catered events. One more casual wedding luncheon had the groom's ethnic food on one buffet table, and the bride's on another. The one thing I was hoping for was pros and cons of which one suits outdoor vs. indoor weddings, certain environments ,vibes/ styles etc. Might you have one on that? Thank you.

Perhaps 200 guest or less.
