Summer Wedding Menus
If you're trying to plan a menu for a summer wedding, remember that wedding guests will have a wide range of dietary restrictions and tastes.
Living in a country that's a "melting pot" gives you the advantage of serving guests a variety of foods from different ethno-cutural backgrounds.
Even if the bride and the groom are both of the same heritage, remember that not all the guests generally are. So instead of having an all-Italian or an all-Greek menu, bring your heritage to only part of the menu. This is a good way to ensure you are not isolating any guests who may not like that type of food. Or if the bride and groom are from different heritages, perhaps the main meal is Italian but the dessert is Greek.
Try to choose light foods to match the warm season rather than heavy foods with heavy creams and sauces.
Also, don't forget to take into account the needs of those with certain dietary restrictions. Can you offer a sugar-free dessert for the benefit of guests who have diabetes?
If there are kids at the wedding, it's probably a good idea to serve the universally kid-friendly hamburgers, pizza and french fries.
