Creative Specialty Stations
Guests will delight in your choice of creative wedding stations! Dessert or dinner stations add décor, interest, and action—something for your guests to do. Delicious food can be attractively displayed or cooked fresh to order, right in front of you and your guests.
One of the most talked about trends for weddings is the use of creative food stations as a compliment to traditional catering options. Candy spreads, succulent sweets, mini food bars or even a mashed potato martini station. Creative stations are definitely an option to consider when planning your wedding reception.
