CommentAuthorKarenB9
I think its down to your personal tast and your theme and budget. I'm going for a sit down meal and a buffet x
CommentAuthorbarbie86
I think it depends on various factors inc number of guests (personally, I'd so a sit-down meal for over 50, as I think otherwise it can take guests ages to be served), the style/feel you're going for (eg formal or relaxed), the venue, etc.
CommentAuthormadison_uk
same as above I'm having a buffet just cos there are so many fussy eaters they can pick what they want and I won't be stressed with the picky eaters
CommentAuthorLittleMissCupcake
Im worried about fussy eaters, a few people on my h2bs side are vegan and dont eat loads of stuff - I swear they think boiling a carrot is an act of crime!
we are having a sit down meal and then like a buffet at night with hot carved meats. my mum wanted to do a chocolate fountain aswel but i said no as i could just imagine my little boy and nephew comming and putting little chocolate handprints all over my beautiful dress! lol x
CommentAuthorLittleMissCupcake
Oh bless :o) I'd love a chocolate fountain, I have so many ideas swimming around my head I have no idea where to start... I have 2 lovely venues im just torn as to what one to pick xx
CommentAuthorbarbie86
We're having our starter and dessert served to the table, and our main as a buffet, as that way everyone is happy, but we don't have to forked out a lot of extra cash to provide people options (picking the main course was just not an option for us. We have a lot of people who either don't like red meat, or else are picky about how it's cooked (eg I cannot eat mine well-done, same with my dad and brother and a few others, but my OH and his family won't touch it if it's even slightly pink, etc), so would have ended up with chicken which I don't enjoy and find boring; so, we wanted to give people a choice.
However, we are having somewhere between 44 and 52 guests, inc us; if it was any more, we would just have to swallow the extra cost, and provide a red meat, a chicken, and a fish option for guests to choose from, as I think that a buffet for more than 50 just doesn't work very well.
In the evening, it'll be a buffet with a selection to please everyone.

It will all depend on the number of guests you have and how formal and traditional you want it.
We're having a traditional English wedding with a Chinese theme for the colour scheme and deco. So with 100 guests we're doing a traditional sit down 3 course wedding breakfast and hog roast buffet in the evening with wedding cake served up in the evening too. H2B wanted a chocolate fountain but I think it'll just be overkill and far too much edible stuff.

We're having a 3course sit down meal for our day guests (57) and hot baguettes and wedges for our evening guests (100) x
CommentAuthorLaura JaneW
We are having a sit down Meal for 80, and a hot buffet at night. I'd definitely NOT have a chocolate fountain, as much as I LOVE chocolate, they are sooo messy! I had a tiny wee amount at a recent wedding fayre and it went everywhere!
CommentAuthorAmyP7
It's personal choice, we are having a sit down meal and then bacon butties and chips later on x x
CommentAuthorInDreamland
Can you get dairy free chocolate for chocolate fountains? If the answer is yes I may be swayed xx

We're having a BBQ in the day as our wedding is in beautiful gardens and the recpetion will be in a marquee and we felt a BBQ would suit the venue the best.
The first thing you need to do is decide on your budget.
The order you've written the choices in is usually the cost order that they go in with a hog roast being the cheapest and sit down meal being most expensive

CommentAuthorPrincess2be

CommentAuthorElle23
I agree it depends on personnal choice & budget

CommentAuthormillz090
Its depends on the atmosphere you are creating for the day too....
We are having a sit down 3 course meal for 80 people but want a full roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings so fairly traditional and formal... however for the evening we are doing a cheese, pate and crackers buffett. My brother got married this year and they did afternoon tea for 60 people which was scones, cakes and sandwiches then a hog roast and salads for the evening and was lovely too xxx
Finally marrying the love of my life !!

CommentAuthorRosyF77
depends on style of wedding, traditional ect. Also depends on your budget too x
CommentAuthorKirstyJ22
We've chosen a 3 course sit down meal and my feeling was that if they don't like something on the menu then tough =P It's really hard to cater to 70 peoples taste so someone is bound to not like something no matter what you do. We're also having sausage and bacon rolls for the evening and some veggie things for the vegetarians x x
