It’s wedding season, and it’s time for couples to start planning the wedding of their dreams. One of the most important elements of a wedding is the food. After all, everyone loves a good meal! While traditional menus have been popular for years, there are some new trends popping up that will make your guests say “hell yeah!” Our wedding menus are not only trendy; they are trending in some of the best wedding venues in Augusta and Aiken!
Finger Food Fiesta
Finger foods are always a favorite among guests since they can be eaten without utensils and enjoyed while socializing. With all the advancements in catering services, finger foods have become incredibly sophisticated and can add an elevated touch to any event. From mini lobster rolls to fancy fruit skewers, customize finger foods to fit any theme or style of your celebration.
Interactive Food Stations
Interactive food stations are also becoming more popular at weddings. When you set food stations, it allows guests to get creative and step away from traditional plated meals by providing interactive options such as build-your-own tacos or sliders where guests can customize their own dishes with various toppings or condiments. Food stations also provide an opportunity for guests to interact with each other while they enjoy their meals!
Creative Weddings Cakes
Wedding cakes are no longer just simple white tiers covered in fondant with a few flowers on top. Nowadays, couples are having fun customizing their cakes with unique textures and flavors like chocolate ganache and salted caramel frosting and adding interesting elements like fresh fruits or edible flowers as decorations. The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating beautiful desserts that reflect your style as a couple!
Local Cuisine
Incorporating local cuisine into your wedding menu is another great way to add a unique twist to your celebration. For example, if you tie the knot in New Orleans you could serve jambalaya or po’ boys instead of traditional chicken dishes for dinner. If you live in Aiken, you could opt for upscale grits and shrimp, our specialty. By incorporating local flavors into your menu you will give your guests an authentic culinary experience they won’t soon forget! Once more, if you hire us, you can mix our love of cajun with a South Carolina twist!
Late Night Snack Bar
After dancing the night away, nothing beats snacking on something delicious before heading home. Late-night snack bars featuring classic comfort foods such as mac n’ cheese balls or tater tot nachos will give your guests something warm and yummy after hours spent on the dance floor! You could even set up a popcorn station complete with various flavorings like dill pickle powder or bacon bits – yum!
