this is perfect pricing...I was trying to aim for $50 per person and thought that was impossible...but not that I see your pricing this looks great for a plated meal...

Is that for plated or buffet?

Thanks, it's nice to have it all in one spot, I hope people add to this thread!

Do you happen to have the menue's from which you chose from. Because the sample one I got sent that number seems impossible. It be great if I could get a better idea of how much I'll be spending on food. Thanks!

Tinkerbell Brunch "Modified* $65.00++
added wild berry, grand marnier crepes

The appetizers for the cocktail hour was delicious and we would of loved to have both but chose just to have the cheese display, which is more than enough.

We ended up tasting from the Tinkerbell Brunch, the Crepes, Cheese Soup, Maple Glazed Pork Sausage, Chicken Breast w/ granny apples and fig jus, Yukon Gold Potatoes and the baked ham. Everything again was delicious, we would highly recommend adding the crepes station which we know will a big hit. The chicken was juicy and very tasty and we absolutely loved the pork sausage. We would of loves to kept the cheese soup and the ham but ended up removing them and keeping our favorite, the crepes.

That sounds like an awesome menu! I'm trying to get ideas for doing a custom menu... it's so overwhelming!!

Thanks! We kept it basic. Just pieced together the options we liked from the different lunch/rehearsal dinner menus. For the pre-reception we are either going to do a fruit display or cheese display.

I actually had the menu cheaper than this but my fiancee really wanted the beef so we changed it a bit. But if you were just interested in grilled mahi mahi and a chicken dish with some sides and salad it got as low as 48.50pp.
