Your Food stations or Buffets: Which is the best for an event?

As a party owner, it is very difficult to decide on the event and the food service style. Plated services are the most common service which you will see in every event, whether big or small as it is cost-effective. However, not everyone prefers to have a plated service on their special day. However, there are 2 options available for the event, let’s discuss the basic difference between them:

Single Table Buffer

It has one long table with a variety of food items for the guests to enjoy at the party. In this case, the guests help themselves to both their cutlery and plate, then serve themselves with the food they like. Many people say that if there is a lot of variety of foods, then it will be costly. Well, it is simply not true.

Food Stations

A food live station is a counter that keeps the food warm and serves the attendant who is present at the food station. It is a dedicated station for only one type of food. For example, different stations have different types of food such as Churros live station, meat, desserts, etc. One of the main advantages of choosing the food live stations is that it allows for less congestion and mobility. This is used in large parties. The best thing about food stations is that you can customize it to your taste and offer the guests more available options than a traditional plated service.

Choosing what kind of food to serve at your event and how to serve it is a big deal. Now, let’s discuss how to choose both of them and why:

Choosing Food live stations: A food station can be the best option for a wedding or a corporate wedding party. The food live stations can be a pasta station, churros live station, hot dog live station, and the food is prepared live. With the help of food stations, people can find different varieties of food and it creates a less congested environment that will promote socialization. Additionally, the food live stations allow a higher degree of creativity when it comes to serving the dishes. Sometimes with food stations, the party owners choose to incorporate chef action stations that create interactivity to the dining experience.

Choosing a Buffet: A buffet will be more suitable for traditional corporate events. A cocktail buffet might be a great way to indulge the guests during the cocktail hour at a wedding before the actual meal starts. This is the most casual meal service style and there are some myths about buffets that more the food is, the more will be the cost. It is a single table buffet and a long table with a variety of food items from different cuisines.

So, it depends on you of which type of event you are organizing and it is important to consider the following points:

• The number of guests

• Overall special diets

• The atmosphere and the vibe of your event

• And most importantly, your budget.
