Food and Drinks for Your Big Day
One of the main things that people are bound to remember about your Maui wedding day is what served to eat and drink. And, while you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself about what food and drinks to serve, there are a few trends and tips you’ll want to consider as you plan your menu.
Consider Custom Cocktails
A major trend right now is for couples to have a custom cocktail created just for them. Often, they’ll sit down with a hired mixologist ahead of time, answer a few questions about their relationship, and walk away with a unique, custom cocktail recipe that represents their romance and can be served to all their guests.
If you want to go this route, always make sure to do a taste test to ensure you like the signature cocktail recipe. If you do, then just find and hire a few skilled bartenders who can whip up your special drink all night long.
Select Smaller Portions
Want to feed your wedding guests well without breaking the bank? If so, consider serving up smaller portions of high-quality food. And, since “small plates” or “tastings” are very in right now, no one will think you’re skimping on the food either. They’ll just think you’re being trendy! Plus, this option increases the chances that everyone will be able to find something they like and lets guests sample a little of a lot of things.
Serve Something Meaningful
If you’re the sentimental type, why not add a little love and nostalgia into the reception dinner? You can serve up the first meal you and your soon-to-be-spouse ate together, or the first drinks you each ordered together. Or, you could simply serve a meal you and your partner had together on a special date, like the day of the proposal or your first anniversary. Whatever the case may be, if you put a little heart into what you serve and explain the feeling behind it, your guests are sure to love it.
At the end of the day, what your guests eat and drink doesn’t really matter. What matters is that you are happy with it and how it turned out, so keep that in mind as you plan your Maui wedding menu.
