The kickoff to an evening of decadent and delightful food service!
Give guests a taste of what's to come for the evening
Allows guests to try multiple options and enjoy a little something before the main meal for the evening
Elevated bar packages or non-alcoholic drink stations are a fun way to ensure everyone stays hydrated
Considerations
Appetizers could be butlered to your guests, or setup as a stationary display
If the evening is more casual, consider stationary appetizers. If the evening is more elegant, consider passed appetizers or even a combination of both. It is important to also consider the layout and if guests will have flowing access to displayed appetizers, avoid bottle necking
More waitstaff is typically needed with passed appetizers to ensure everyone gets a taste
Consider adding personal touches with signature cocktails, mocktails or specialty drink stations like margarita bars and liquid courage lemonade bar
