Hi bees,

we finally set up the menu for our wedding reception :). We’ll have a soup served at the table and the rest will be a buffet.

We’ll have some guests from the US, too, so I translated the menu to English. Could you please have a look, if everything sounds right (the German menu actually sounds a lot fancier)? What do you think of the food-selection? Oh, and if you wonder what Diergardt’s means: it’s the name of the restaurant ;).

It sounds yummy! I don’t eat seafood or pork, but I know I’m usually the odd one out on that. But that doesn’t matter because you have plenty of other delicious options that I would be more than happy to eat 😀

I think it looks great and you have a nice selection.

The only thing that I would change is to take the comma our after Diergardt’s New in the Diergardt’s New, Homemade Salmon Specialties selection.

@noritake22: Oh, thank you – I just cancelled the comme. Thanks!

@VeronicaH I am looking forward to the desserts, too! The only thing is: I don’t think I can eat all of them, I would be too full for the first dance 🙁

The menu sounds great!  Have you looked to see what the pricing is for a plated dinner with the same food?  its so much food that i bet a plated dinner would be cheaper.

random side note: soup isnt an amuse bouche, its a first course.  amuse bouche is a small, single bite hors douvre, so soup doesnt count 🙂

@ClairDarling Thanks! I’ll cancel the amuse bouche (I wasn’t a friend of that anyway, it was a friends idea… yeah it’s always the others Wink ). I actually wanted a buffet and not a plated dinner, but we’ll have the soup at the table – I think that’s a good compromise.
