[quote=Anonymous]My cousin is an executive chef at a mid-priced banquet restaurant.  When he got married (to a lady who is the events booking manager), they rented a fancy-ish but country-themed wedding facility.  It was a medium-sized hall built into a barn.

He made the catering arrangements.  I barely remembered that the main meal was buffet-style.  It did include roast beef.

What I do remember is that the cocktail hour was outstanding.  The bartenders were friends and coworkers.  They'd made custom themed cocktails named after the couple.  And the bacon-wrapped scallops were super.  Best scallops I've ever had.

I also remember they had donut pyramids as part of a sweets table.

Another recent wedding I went to had a marvelous spread of items at cocktail hour.  A whole table full of delicious gourmet snacks...unique cheeses, crackers, fresh fruit, chocolate-covered espresso beans, dried fruit, olives, etc.  It was hand-curated by a friend of the bride's mom. She had marvelous taste.  I actually replicated some of her choices at a party of my own and got lots of compliments.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think buffets are fine.  I think enjoyability is all about the novelty factor and the deliciousness.[/quote]
