Backyard Weddings

With venues shutting down in order to protect their space and employees, rightfully so, many weddings have been moved to private backyards, some even renting out airBNBs to host their weddings!

Plated Meals

While plated meals have been known to have a high price tag in comparison to buffet style dinners, again in response to the current pandemic, many couples have taken this route in order to decrease contact amongst their guests when it comes to meal time.

Personalized Appetizers & Charcuterie Boards

Charcuterie boards have been all the rage this past year, ranging from classic cheese and crackers, to mac and cheese, to dessert heaven! Who wouldn’t want one (or a few) at their wedding!? Some couples have taken it to the next level though and created personalized boards for each individual guest in order to, again, maintain the least amount of contact during cocktail hour!
