When planning the wedding ceremony to celebrate you and your soon-to-be spouse, you want to integrate your personality and history into different aspects of the event. When it comes to wedding catering, you can work with your caterer to come up with a menu that will please your guests while tailoring the choices to your preferences.

How to Personalize Your Wedding Catering

1. Include Local Dishes

The location where you host your wedding is likely significant to you. Maybe it’s your hometown, where you first met your fiance, or your favorite vacation destination. Either way, serving local delicacies will highlight the location and ensure items are brought in fresh. For example, a wedding in Hawaii might feature poi, kalua pig, and poke.

2. Add a Nod to Your Heritage

You can also use the menu to highlight your family history. For example, if you have a Japanese background, include your favorites that are also crowd-pleasers like sushi, shrimp tempura, or teriyaki beef. If you and your significant other have different backgrounds, include a mix of food from both your heritages.

3. Create a Signature Drink

The bar provides another perfect opportunity to add a personalized touch. You can still offer a variety of options, but spotlight a signature drink that you and your significant other put together. You could also highlight each of your favorite drinks on the bar menu.
