One of the most important aspects of planning a wedding reception in New Jersey is putting together a menu for your guests. Whether you plan on having your special day in the morning, afternoon, or at night, you want to make sure that your guests have a variety of delicious foods they can enjoy. More than that, you want menu selections that tie into the theme of your wedding. If you’re struggling with what to serve your guests at your wedding reception, Sterling Ballroom‘s choice food stations should give you some great ideas.

Start with a Snack – Hors D’oeuvres

Most wedding guests arrive at the wedding reception ready to chow down. As the guests are congregating in the reception hall, the bridal party is usually taking wedding photos. To keep your guests from getting too hungry, try serving passed hors d’oeuvres or culinary food stations. At Sterling Ballroom in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, we have a plethora of hors d’oeuvres to choose from. Perfect for a winter wedding, our staff can serve your guests bite size appetizers like cocktail shrimp, grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters, scallops wrapped in bacon and more.

Entrees

Of all the food choices you’ll have to make for your wedding reception in New Jersey, the entrees are likely the most difficult. With everyone having different food preferences, knowing what your guests will love can be a challenge. It is best to choose at least two or three types of meat like our 8-oz. center cut filet mignon or the herb roasted French breast of chicken. You should also choose a vegetarian dish accompanied by common but tasty sides like garlic mashed potatoes and French cut green beans. At the Sterling Ballroom, we have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options for your guests with special dietary needs.

Wow! We are certain this cake tastes as good as it looks.

Besides the traditional wedding cake, there are so many dessert choices to surprise and delight your guests. You might consider a dessert pedestal which has petite chocolate covered strawberries, cream puffs, and cannoli, or one of our most popular stations, S’more Love Station and Sundae at the Boardwalk..
