hi all i would like some help please me and my other half are getting married at 4 pm so do i go for a sit down meal or a buffet.as our reception dont start until 6pm and finsh at midnight thanks.

I would probably skip the sit down meal, as your reception is starting quite late. A sit-down meal will eat massively into your evening reception, whereas with a buffet, people can just help themselves as an when they fancy, plus if people get a 'second wave' of hunger after a couple drinks, they've got food to nibble on.

It's entirely up to you. I an getting married at 4 and having sit down meal at 5.30 x

I've having a 2 course and "cake buffet" and that isn't starting while 4:30 and then having chips and bacon butties at 9:30.

We will be having snacks and canape styles available from2/3 when the guests arrive at the venue though so they don't starve!!

And I think it depends on numbers though as well! A buffet will work out cheaper than sit down meal if you are inviting a lot of people! How about a carvery or hog roast? Mix the two together??

We got married at 3pm, sat down for meal at around 545pm and that was a buffet but sit down, if you know what I mean. Basically people went up, helped themselves to some things but other things were served to them if they wanted them like the meats.

same here the buffet starting to sound like a reall good idea.
