Weddings celebrate the union of two people and their families. These events often come with a catered reception, allowing people the chance to mingle while enjoying delicious food and drinks. Due to the coronavirus, these gatherings are smaller than in previous years. However, there is still an opportunity to have creative food offerings while minimizing direct contact.

What Is Popular to Serve at a 2020 Wedding?

1. Welcoming Cocktails

While many weddings offer guests champagne and other spirits, consider having your bartender come up with a special cocktail. These bright-tasting, often fruit-filled drinks can have a transportive effect—evoking vacations spent on the beach or harking back to another era. You can also make non-alcoholic cocktails for people who prefer not to indulge.

2. Switch Up Your Dessert Options

3. Revisit Your Childhood

Weddings signify new beginnings. However, they are also a time of family. Many modern brides and grooms are choosing to embrace childhood nostalgia by forgoing traditional fish or steak meals for adult reimaginings of old favorites. For example, ask your caterer about crafting high-quality grilled cheese sandwiches, a selection of specialty burgers, or even individual pizzas. 

4. Include Something for Everyone

Many people have dietary restrictions for medical reasons or to match their lifestyle preferences. Therefore, make sure your catering has food alternatives for those who are vegetarian, vegan, or have nut or gluten allergies.
