Food tasting??

[bridetobe789]

When you go down for the ps how many of each item can you choose to try? ALSO- what are the basic cake flavors/fillings that you try so we know if we are to request different ones to try?? Thanks!

We were told we could pick 2 appetizers, 2 salads (or salad and soup, I think...), 2 entrees and one dessert.

I'm not sure what the de facto set of cake flavors is for the taste test because we picked the 4 cake flavors and 8 fillings we knew we wanted to try. There is a list of all the possible flavors on the DFTW website.

First, you have to explicitly request a tasting session: we had mentioned it passing to our planner but a few days before leaving for the planning session, we realized none had been scheduled and our planner arranged for one at the last minute. If you're within a week of the planning session AND no one has asked you for your tasting choices, email your planner to make certain a tasting is set up.

Second, go with an empty stomach. We are having a plated dinner with a 90 minute cocktail/hors d'oeuvres hour prior. So we tested out about 8 hors d'oeuvres, 1 salad, 3 entrees (we tried a beef/lobster pairing, a tilapia, and a salmon), and then our dessert (tiramisu). We also opted for the full signature brand bar package but weren't certain on a few of the wine choices: our planner arranged for us to taste those wines and to try some potential substitutions in.

Third, take a camera! Our ceremony and reception are at the GF so the planning session was at the GF convention center kitchen: they set us up with a table and chairs in the kitchen. It was hands down the best part of the planning session.

We aren't having a wedding cake, so I have no info on that one.

I had the same as Lurkyloo said. 2 appetizers, 2 salads, 2 entrees and 1 dessert. I also tasted 4 types of cake and 8 filings. You do have to specifically ask for a tasting and I highly recommend it. The food was sooooo good!!!!!!!!

Personal opinion: Either Chocolate cake with White Chocolate Mousse or Bavarian Cream
Or Lemon Cake with Raspberry Mousse

Both are nice combinations.

Thank you guys so much!! We do have a tasting session scheduled the same day as the planning so I will make sure we request other flavors of fillings we want !

We actually had 4 or 5 pre reception, 2 apps, 2 salads, 2 sorbets, 3 entrees, and 2 desserts.

I'm thinking that those of us who got only 2 choices for each course were the buffet people and those doing plated meals get more choices. Or perhaps it's GF tastings vs. BoardWalk Inn tastings....

At the GF tasting we had our choice of
3 hor d'ourves,
2 appetizers,
1 salad,
2 main courses
& 1 dessert not counting the cake.

We had a plated meal in case that helps.
