Catering Styles to Fit Your Wedding Vision

A buffet is a popular and efficient catering style where guests serve themselves from a variety of dishes set up on a main table. This setup encourages mingling and offers a relaxed, social dining experience, making it ideal for larger weddings. Guests can choose their preferred portions and interact with one another as they get up to refill their plates. It's a great option for weddings where guests are encouraged to explore different flavours and chat while dining.
Family-style service brings bowls and platters of food to the table for guests to pass around. This style is perfect for a more intimate and communal dining experience. It's most effective with long tables where dishes can be shared easily among guests. Family-style dining encourages conversation and connection, making the meal feel more like a shared experience. Keep in mind, however, that this option may take up to 2.5 hours to serve, and there could be additional costs for plate rentals. Additionally, if your table is meticulously designed, the platters can alter the look, so it may not align with an elegant, minimalist table setting.
Plated service is the most formal dining option, where servers bring individually prepared meals to each guest. This option works best for up to 120 people, ensuring a smooth and timely service. Plated meals are ideal for couples seeking a sophisticated dining experience, where each guest receives a carefully crafted dish. This service style eliminates the need for guests to leave their seats, allowing for a seamless dining experience and providing a more structured atmosphere.

FAQs

At a buffet, guests get up to serve themselves from dishes set out on a main table. This is the most efficient way to feed your guests, and they often enjoy getting up for a quick social around the buffet tables!
During family-style service, bowls and platters of food are brought to the table to be passed around. It is served best at one long table, so that more food can be passed down to where it’s required. Family style is for the host that is looking for the full “dining experience,” and should expect the meal to last up to 2.5 hours. This style of service can be done for up to 120 people and may be subject to additional plate-rental fees. It should also be noted that while it is nice to have platters right on the table, it does give the table settings a different feel. If you have a beautifully set and decorated table, this service may clutter your design vision.
Plated meals are exactly that! Servers deliver a meal on a plate to each individual guest, and the maximum guest count for this service is 120.
We arrive at a catering event with the items we need to hold and serve our food. We do not provide plates, glasses, utensils, or linens. We also do not provide the tables and linens needed for the buffet service (two or three 8-foot tables and linens for them). While placing your rental order, we recommend ordering 15% more than your guest count for all dishware. There are always extras needed!
We can provide food for people that are vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, or have a nut allergy. Restrictions outside of those guidelines will be the responsibility of the affected guest. If the amount of people needing special meals exceeds 15% of the total guest list, the menu will need to be adjusted to allow or to add another “main” dish to cover the restrictions.
We usually don’t need to arrive 4 hours early, but we need to know we’ll have access at that point if necessary. Having a key or a code before we arrive is incredibly helpful, so we can get in and get started even if you aren’t there yet. Depending on the event, our crew may not even arrive until an hour before, so don’t panic if we aren’t there yet! We will arrive, set up, and be good to go by your start time. We will need up to 2 hours after the event to clean up. So, including the event itself, we require the venue to be available to us for 8 hours.
For More Eatery to execute a successful catering service at your selected venue, it needs to have a full-size oven, hand sink, dishwasher, stove top (or a full-size grill WITH full propane), and ample counter space. All these items need to be clean and fully functioning. If your venue is a personal residence, photos may be requested prior to commitment to ensure it’s a space we can work in. Please note, menu selections may not be approved if we deem the venue unsuitable for certain preparation and cooking.
If your venue is outside of Campbell River, the cost for our travelling is $85 per hour, and 70 cents per kilometre. If there is a kitchen fee charged to us at your chosen venue, it will be reflected on your final invoice.
More Eatery will need to have a credit card on file prior to catering. You are welcome to use this card for payment, but we also accept cheques, or e-transfers to moreeatery@gmail.com. For catering events that exceed $2000, customers are required to pay a $500 deposit to secure their requested date. This deposit is refundable up until 2 months before the event, as we would still have the opportunity to book another event to replace your reserved spot. If your catering total exceeds $4000: 2 weeks prior to the event, we require a deposit that totals 50% of the catering (which includes the $500 deposit). The remaining balance is due on the first business day following the event. Your card on file may be charged if we don’t hear from you within a couple of business days.
