    I'm having a late August wedding in non-climate controlled setting (No AC).  Family-style service. Do you think people will like these options? Anything you would add or change?  Think it will work for family style? I realized the beef kebobs come with veggies, so I may use that as a side and add another side in place of the sauteed veggies.  Any suggestions for another side dish? Thank you!!

    Thanks! The late night snack is my FAVORATE.  What do you think of the salad. I tried it and it was absoultely delicious - to ME. Do you think other people would have a problem with goat cheese?

    to me, the salad sounded like the best part (besides the late night snack, of course)

    I think your menu sounds awesome. As for the salad thats what I make at home so I love it :) I also wouldnt get rid of the side of sauteed veggies cause not everyone will pick kebobs, and usually the only veggies on kebobs are peppers and onions anyway. The only suggestion I would make would be to see if you could have jasmine rice as an additional side (just because I think it would go awesome with your chicken dish!).

    Sounds great to me. I'm not sure I would swap out the veggies, just maybe ask that they are different kinds (as in, peppers and carrots on the kebobs, greens or peas or etc. as the side).

    Your menu sounds great. Wings are very difficult and messy to eat so is it possible to have lemongrass chicken skewers instead of the wings?
