3 Simple Solutions For Catering A Seaside Wedding

From finding a dress and designing invitations to organizing your bridal party, it is easy to see the challenges of wedding planning. Many brides are opting for destination weddings for a beautiful backdrop and memorable experience for her, her groom, and her guests. With a seaside wedding on the beach, you can achieve your dream wedding. Of course, wedding catering by the sea may be difficult if you do not know where to start. Here are a few simple solutions for catering a seaside wedding:

Appetizers on the Beach

If you prefer a simple, affordable, delicious, and fun idea for feeding your guests, consider a large array of appetizers. A few long tables, or multiple smaller tables, can be arranged with a variety of appetizers that are easy and neat to eat while walking around on the beach.

To align with your wedding by the sea, consider the following bite-size appetizers:

  • Seared Tuna Bites
  • Salmon Rolls
  • Seafood Egg Rolls
  • Miniature Cups of Shrimp and Grits
  • Bite-Sized Crab Cakes

Seafood Boil of Fun

Many brides prefer a beach wedding because it is more casual and fun. If you want to make your reception a bit more exciting, plan a seafood boil for your guests.

Large pots of corn, crab, shrimp, potatoes, and seasoning boiled and simmering will be enjoyed by you and your guests. Pour the low country boil in the center of a few tables and supply your guests with napkins, forks, and tools to crack open shells.

To personalize your seafood boil, create custom bibs for your guests. Personalize the bibs with you and your groom's name and the date of your wedding.

Formal Buffet Feast

If you prefer a formal, sit-down reception without the worry of servers, opt for a buffet filled with favorite foods from the sea and land.

Fried shrimp, chicken parmesan, salmon, and prime rib are great options because they appeal to most of your guests. Caesar salad, mashed sweet potatoes, sautéed green beans, and a pasta with cream sauce are excellent sides for your buffet.

Each of your guests can pick and choose what they will like to eat, serve themselves, and sit at a table with other guests to celebrate your special day by the sea.

Designing a menu for a wedding at the beach does not have to be complicated. With these simple solutions, you and your guests will be able to celebrate and eat by the sea in style.
