That sounds amazing. I feel like another savory dish would do well. Maybe something with potatoes/veggies?

sounds delicious! if you add anything, i’d suggest some sort of meat. roasted chicken with lemon and herbs de provence would fit real well, i think. can i ask why nonalcoholic drink? a mimosa would suit this meal perfectly.

Thanks for compliments & the advise. I do have one veggie. Ill have to think about a potato. 
The monte cristo has meat & was thinking about adding some meat to the quiche. That roasted chicken sounds yummy! My Fiance said ooooooooooo lol that it sounded really good!
Its nonalcoholic because we dont drink but then we also both have recovering alcoholics in our families.

tiffany7: oh doing some of the quiche with meats would be perfect, too! that makes perfect sense than for not having liquor. maybe still some sort of sparkling mocktail, then? i just googled, and this sounds amazing to me!

We had a brunch wedding! It was a buffet, and I liked how it offered guests a chance to have breakfast if they wanted, or lunch if they preferred. We got lots of compliments from our guests, but it didn’t really have a theme like yours does (which sounds delicious by the way!)
Here was ours:
Bacon
Stuffed French Toast
Herb Roasted Chicken
Pasta Primavera
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
Oatmeal,
Breakfast Potatoes
Plain Yogurt,
Cottage Cheese,
Assorted Muffins,
Bagels,
Homemade Granola,
Shrimp Cocktail
Smoked Salmon
Steamed Veggie
Salad bar
Fruit tray
Dinner Rolls
Iced Water & Iced Tea & Orange Juice @ Tables
Coffee Bar

Everyones food sounds delicious!! Im loving the coffee idea. Think I will add a juice & a mocktail.
Also think I will add the roasted chicken herbs de provence & some sort of potato like suggested. Having a hard time thinking of a potato at the moment though.
Do you think I have a nice even amount of breakfast/lunch then? Do I have way to much food for 25 guests? Its really hard planning a menu cause you know not everyone will eat everything & some people will more of each thing.

We did mimosas and iced coffee (spiked with vanilla vodka and Kailua) for our signature drinks along with mochas for non alcoholic drinks. For food we had crab cake eggs Benedict, Salmon BLTs, wild fruit pancakes, vegetarian omelettes with guac and salsa, ham and eggs, and of course wedding cake for dessert.
