Considering Catering

Of our two venue options, only one will require a caterer.

The Picnic House in Prospect Park has a list of preferred caterers and for a fee, we are able to bring in new caterer.


Some things we are considering for the reception:
Cocktail Hour
- passed hor d'oeuvres & stations
- specialty cocktail & open bar





Reception
- The Picnic House doesn't not have a built-in kitchen so a buffet will allow us to serve hot food.
- It's important to us to serve a few entree options while considering dietary restrictions of some of our guests
- We like the idea of a pre-set first course and then allowing guests to visit the buffet when they are finished.

Dessert
- We're not into a big wedding cake. Our favorite desserts are lemon bars, snickerdoodle cookies and cherry pie.
- Most caterers outsource the desserts so we are doing a little research of our own to create a fabulous dessert and coffee bar.





For those of you following... I would love to hear your "thoughts" on memorable dishes or desserts from other weddings.

Cheers!
