Food & drink

Each of these carries its own questions to decide, what to ask candidates, and when couples usually book — ready to drop into a connected plan.

• Bar service

  Stocks and staffs the bar. Build the drink menu, set who's covered, and the plan estimates quantities from your guest count and shows last call against the venue's end time.

• Coffee & espresso cart

  Serves coffee, espresso, and specialty drinks from a staffed cart.

• Drop-off catering

  Catering that arrives ready to serve — trays, platters, boxed meals — with no staff staying on site.

• Food truck

  Serves food from a truck or cart at your event.

• Full-service caterer

  Plans and serves the meal for your event. Handles menu, staffing, service, and final counts.

• Grazing table

  A cheese, charcuterie, and grazing spread, usually for cocktail hour.

• Late-night snacks

  A late-night bite to keep the party going.

• Private chef

  A chef who cooks on site and plates a multi-course dinner or tasting menu for an intimate wedding — at home, at a rental house, or in a small venue.
