I bartend weddings about once a month.

Best thing I had was Lumpia (Pilipino Egg Rolls), The bride made them herself. I ended up contacting her after and buying 50 to put in my freezer.

Most interesting was strawberry sandwiches. Surprisingly they were actually pretty good.

I was served a salad that was romaine leaves tied in a bundle at one end using a thin slice of cucumber so that it was shaped like one of these:



Obviously didn't change the taste, but the presentation was interesting.

At one of my daughters we got a local restaurant to bring his mobile brick oven and he did individual pizzas (about 5-6 different kinds), humus and pita, and caprese salad. Slamming.

I’ve seen people do something similar with the groom’s cake (ex: 4-5 choices of cheesecake). I have also seen the “groom’s cake” being specialty drink/shot station.

At a wedding for one of my nephews about 5 years ago they had the traditional stuff of large roasts with braised new potatoes, steamed vegetables, lots of finger food, pasta with cream sauce, hors d'oeuvres, etc.

They also had a full service sushi bar, vegetarian/vegan area and all you could eat fresh shucked oysters.

Bite sized BLT things with tomato jam and bacon pieces (real, chopped up bacon). Little, deftly made biscuit thing. Scrumptious. I think everyone there could've eaten twenty of them, but we were each given two.
