Wedding receptions are a notable way to celebrate your new marriage and thank your guests for attending. You’ll need to find a suitable banquet hall to hold it in, which will include choosing the caterer with the best menu options. With such a large event, your guests will have varied tastes and dietary restrictions. When you choose The Pizza Haven for your wedding venue, you have a broad selection of items to build your own custom menu. Here, this Rhinelander, WI, restaurant shares five tips for forming a menu everyone will love.

How to Build a Catering Menu for All Guests

1. Choose Kid-Friendly Meals

Although you want your menu to be refined, remember that guests will likely bring their children. Kids can be picky and may not appreciate food they’ve probably never had before. Classic yet sophisticated foods, like The Pizza Haven’s spaghetti and ravioli, are excellent options for kids.

2. Include Beverages

Guests are bound to get thirsty for more than just water, so add a few beverage options to your menu. The Pizza Haven’s banquet hall includes beverage packages for soda, punch, champagne, and wine. Go with a good variety to please everyone’s palates.

3. Offer Vegetarian Options

Put at least one vegetarian main course on your menu, and include plenty of vegetarian-friendly hors-d'oeuvres. Those with this particular dietary restriction will certainly appreciate the consideration.

4. Consider Allergies

If your menu consists of allergens only, many guests might be left hungry. Keep common allergens, such as gluten and fish, in mind. If possible, request guests to include any food allergies in their RSVP. Relay this information to the banquet hall’s party planners to help cultivate your menu.

5. Diversify Your Menu

The best way to make sure all of your guests find something they like is to provide them with the widest variety of options possible. One meat and one pasta, for instance, gives vegetarians and those with gluten allergies a viable main entrée. Pick several different flavors to build your hors d’oeuvre selection, from sweet fruits to salty mini-corn dogs.
