We're doing an outdoor daytime wedding, so we're having a BBQ reception catered: ribs, chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, the restaurant's famous bacon mac and cheese, potato salad, and green salad. 3 small cakes on a tiered server: vanilla, carrot, and red velvet. Gigantic cheese board appetizer, Krispy Kremes for the favors in little boxes.
@Miss Longcoat: OMG I want to eat your wedding food right this second :)
We are having truffle chicken salad, caprese and roast beef po'boys for hors d'ouerves, then we also have a vegetable, fruit and imported cheeses display, chicken and andouille sausage gumbo, then we have an action station of BBQ shrimp and grits, then we have 2 entree choices, marinated hanger steak or deep friend turrkey with cranberry sauce, both of those come with pontalba potatoes, corn something or other (delicious little corn cakes) and salads. Very New Orleans flavored :)
Two salads- I cant rememeber what was in each one.
Baked chicken
Grilled fish
Fried ripe plantains
We had 3 different types of rice; west african style rice and beans, vegetable fried rice and another west african rice dish called Jollof which is basically rice and meat sauce cooked together. {DH is west african}
Vegetarian casserole
Meat sauce
For appetizers we had sausage rolls and other savory and sweet pastries. The appetizers were served to them at their table, as was the dessert. Only the main meal was done buffet style.
Dessert was a Red velvet wedding cake with chocolate fugde icing topped with strawberries.
UGH!!! Should not have read this post! I just had my wisdom teeth out this morning and have not ate anything. I'm sooo hungry and this definitely didn't help LOL! 
Stationed apps: cheese and fruit
Passed apps: grilled asparagus with boursin and proscuitto, endive cups with crab

Meats: GINORMOUS double stuffed apple sage bone-in pork chops, flank steak with port demi
Sides: Penne with basil marinara, roasted Italian vegetables, au gratin potatoes with greuyere
I mean seriously, this is the pork chop from our tasting. That's a regular sized dinner plate. :/
FH used to work in a mexican restaurant that is VERY popular where we will be getting married (in our home town in MI), so we will be having basically a taco/burrito bar. It does not sound fancy at all, but I know my guests will like it WAY better than anything fancy :)
Pizza (a LOT of variety. seriously, everything.)

Mashed potatoes and gravy
Corn
Mac n cheese
Lots of cakes- I'll be baking sheet cakes myself, and I estimate I'll need 6 to feed everyone. Red Velvet, Strawberry, Marble, White, Chocolate, maybe Carrot? Not official though.
