Our venue has an exclusive caterer, and that totally freaked me out. I have no choice? What if they totally stink? That would be awful. Granted, everyone says I won't have time to eat...but I want the food to taste good whether I get to eat or not.
Before I get into the caterer and the food, let's talk about what I would have LOVED to have had at the wedding.
Ideal #1 - SUSHI! How amazing would sushi be at a wedding? So modern and delicious! And look at the presentation possibilities!!
Look at all the green!
Look at the delicious flavor possibilities!
But we've discussed that I lack the gene that made me able to produce money out of my butt. When the dude and I go to sushi, it's no joke. I eat two rolls, he eats two rolls...it gets pricy! On top of that, not everyone on my guest list is all that adventurous. I've heard it before, do what you want and don't think about anyone else...yeah yeah, but I want people full and happy and dancing. Plus all that alcohol when half the people won't touch the food? Um...liability?
Ideal #2 - BBQ. Not just any BBQ, the BBQ provided to two weddings of very close friends. The best freaking, cooked-on-site BBQ you've ever had in your life. Tri-tip so tender that you may or may not have eaten 15 pieces...But alas, this master of the BBQ is a local of the Placerville area and travel of a man and his BBQ pit is quite a request.
When has something like this disappointed anyone? Ya know...except vegetarians?

Ideal #3 - So we thought, and thought, and thought. Really it didn't take us that long, because one of our all time favorite foods in the entire world...is Mexican food. Why not a delicious spread of Mexican food?
We spoke with our caterers, Grapes of Wrath, and came up with an excellent menu for our guests! But how is this going to taste? I contacted them via email and made all these choices online...what if the food sounded good, but tasted like...well, not good?
Hello Fajita buffet! They've got it in their repertoire!

After talking to the caterer for a bit, the dude and I were able to finally put our worries to rest...but we'll talk about that and the actual menu next time.
How did you pick your caterer and your style of food?
