Discover the art of wedding food plating
Planning an event is easier when you focus on guest experience first: how people arrive, what they eat, how the schedule flows, and how the room feels once music starts. At Chinelos Catering & Events, we support celebrations throughout the Triangle and help hosts turn ideas into a smooth, memorable event.
Choose the meal style that matches the timeline
Buffet is flexible and social. Plated service feels formal and structured. Full-service adds staffing and coordination so the night runs smoothly.
Menu ideas guests actually remember
Balance comfort + flavor: a crowd-pleaser, a bold option, and sides that pair well. Always plan for allergies and dietary needs.
Keep the reception flowing
Food is the foundation—entertainment is the energy. If dancing is a priority, plan service times that don’t stall the party.
