While I love fried chicken, it is messy.  I would say that the more formal your wedding, the less appreciated fried chicken will be.  It is hard to eat good fried chicken neatly and people in evening wear aren't really going to want to deal with that.

I love brisket, but have rarely found many outside of homemade that are that good.  There's plenty of mediocre wedding food out there, and brisket is often one of those.  I would recommend a haunch of roast beef with a carving station.  I know that my family thinks that is one of the best beef options because people who want well done  can have the outside pieces and peopel who like medium rare, can have the inside.

Salmon, if cooked nicely (not overdone to the point of being dry) is a popular fish entree.  I like salmon, but you can also get a nice white fish like flounder with a lemon butter sauce.

Out caterer did a very nice pasta in a vodka rose cream sauce that was fantastic.

So, the start is to find out what caterers your reception site will allow.  Then pick a caterer who will give you some flexibility and work with them.  We interviewed all 4 caterers that were allowed in our reception site and they arranged for us to have a tasting where we sat down and they gave us a small sample of many dishes.  That's how we picked the vodka rose cream sauce pasta.  We loved the options that the caterer gave us and we have more than enough to choose from (too many, we only did about half of the ones we *REALLY* wanted).

Then again, I have to say that I remember the tastings but I really don't remember eating much at my wedding or what I ate that day.  :-)[/quote]

Great ideas.  Love the carving station idea.[/quote]
