Strolling Wedding Receptions Emerge As New Trend

Strolling wedding receptions are emerging as a new trend. The strolling format, which provides guests with small samples of food in lieu of a traditional sit-down dinner, are gaining in popularity. Most of what happens at a wedding reception is mingling and eating, and the strolling reception provides support for both.

The cost of a strolling reception is often lower because the food costs are generally less than those at a sit-down dinner or a buffet. Depending upon the number of menu options however, food costs can vary significantly from reception to reception.

As an added benefit, food stations that offer unusual options are also popular at a strolling reception. A food station might include an ice cream buffet, tropical mixed drinks, or specialty desserts. Food stations can also be designed to offer a “mini-meal” of wraps, carved meats, or seafood with complementary sides. Guests can build their own meals, or have them prepared by the catering staff.

In a strolling reception, food is served in waves, and guests can choose among their favorites. Many strolling menus offer between three and seven food choices, depending upon the length of the reception, whether or not alcohol is being served, and the number of guests at the event.
