Late-night snacks: a wedding guide

Late-night snacks feed your guests near the end of the night. Guests eat while they dance.

When couples book this

About 10 months before your wedding.

Still deciding the wedding

Your wishlist

Answer these before you meet anyone.

  • What late-night bite are you craving?

  • How would you like it served?

  • What must the late-night bite accommodate?

Comparing your options

What to ask each one

  • How are the snacks served?

    Boxed to go doubles as the send-off favor — the boxes leave with guests.

  • What's being served?

  • Who provides it?

  • Who provides napkins, plates, and serviceware?

How it’s usually priced

Usually priced per guest.

Booked and settling details

What you settle once booked

  • When and where do the snacks land?

    The hour, the spot, and who passes or stations them — an hour before last dance is the classic drop.

What to look over

Correct these details as needed.

  • How many late-night portions?

  • Dietary needs still in the room

    Allergies don't end at dinner — the late-night vendor gets the same dietary and allergy counts as the caterer.

  • When do snacks come out?

    Moves with your event time and the venue's curfew.
