Wedding Reception Catering: How to Plan a Menu That Reflects Your Love Story
Your wedding menu is more than just a meal; it’s a personal reflection of your journey together. From first date memories to shared family traditions, your reception cuisine can tell a beautiful story. At Mintahoe Catering & Events, our award-winning team brings those stories to life with custom full-service menus and unforgettable presentations.
Start with Your Favorites
Think about the meals that mean something to you. Maybe your first date was over woodfired pizza, or your Sunday ritual includes brunch with mimosas. Whether you envision comfort food classics or a sophisticated plated dinner, your menu should feel like you.
Consider the Season
A seasonal menu not only elevates flavor but also helps your wedding feel more in tune with the time of year. Fresh summer berries, warm autumn soups, or hearty winter entrees all lend themselves to a thoughtful, curated experience. Our team creates menus that highlight peak-season ingredients and align with your venue setting, whether it’s rooftop celebrations at Solar Arts or a garden reception at one of our preferred partners.
Celebrate Your Cultures and Traditions
Weddings are a celebration of love and heritage. We love helping couples honor their cultures by incorporating traditional recipes or blending elements from both sides of the family. From passed appetizers to a late-night snack bar featuring your favorites, we’ll help craft a menu that feels personal and inclusive.
Add Unique Touches
Signature drinks, themed food stations, and interactive displays are just a few ways to make your menu stand out. Think his-and-hers cocktails, or an upscale poke bowl station. Our catering consultants work with you to design custom features that reflect your personality and keep your guests talking.
Don’t Forget the Sweets
Whether it’s a tiered wedding cake, a spread of mini desserts, or an elegant cookie display, your dessert should be as memorable as the rest of your meal. Mintahoe’s in-house pastry team offers countless creative options, from classic buttercream cakes to trendy bite-sized treats.
Your Love Story, Beautifully Served
Planning your wedding menu should feel as joyful as the rest of your day. With Mintahoe, you’ll have a trusted team to guide you through every step, from tasting to execution. We proudly offer full-service wedding catering across Minneapolis and St. Paul.
