Why this Wedding Coordinator Recommends Food Stations to Keep Guests Satisfied!

As the wedding catering experts of Utah, we know that having hungry guests is a sure fire way to have an event go down hill quick! Ever been at a wedding without enough food!? Yeah, me too, and I was single…single and hangry, not a way to have a successful night as a wedding guest!

Our suggestion? Give your guests all the catered food options! Food stations are a fun and upscale way to elevate your wedding reception. They're always a hit among guests, and they give you the chance to share something you love with the people you love. At Cuisine Unlimited, we take wedding catering to a new level, including food stations decorated to be show-stopping!

Unmatched Wedding Catering and Planning Services

We're the best wedding caterers in Utah, known for our creativity and innovation, so food station possibilities are limited only to your imagination (or your wedding planner's). If there's a food you love and want your guests to enjoy at your wedding, we can turn it into a station. And we'll make sure it's refilled throughout the entire night so your guests never go hungry.

Like we said, there are unlimited options for stations! Saw an adorable post on Pinterest? We can make it happen! Here are some of our past favorites that you might love, too:

Popcorn Station

A popcorn station is a classic choice at a wedding. You've probably attended a wedding or two with tins full of buttered, caramel, and cheesy popcorn. If you loved that vignette, you'll love what we can do!

We'll provide the ultimate popcorn station complete with your favorite kinds, containers for individual servings, and labels to denote flavors. Of course, if you'd prefer the popcorn come prepackaged, we can do that, too. No matter your choice, we will make your guests say, "this is the best wedding I've ever been to!"

Charcuterie Station

Is there anything better than meats and cheese on an adorable charcuterie board? Possibly and if it so, it'd be a charcuterie station! We'll take all your favorite elements of a charcuterie board - meat, cheese, crackers, fruit, vegetables - and turn it into a station. Your guests will love it, too, and it will undoubtedly keep the hanger at bay while you and your family take photos!

We'll organize the station to fit your exact specifications. Whether you want boards with just meat and others with just cheese, or you want several different assorted boards, we will make it happen. We can provide charcuterie cones, individual charcuterie boxes, or turn the entire station into a grazing table. You and your loved ones won't be able to stay away.

Dessert Station

Have a major sweet tooth and can't choose just one dessert for your wedding? No problem! We get it - we want our guests to be able to indulge in cupcakes, brownies, macaroons, and cheesecake, too, and we can make it happen. We can even combine two of our favorite stations to create something completely decadent: a dessert charcuterie station.

A dessert station is an easy way to give your guests a large variety of choices for their last course. Choose between bite-sized morsels or regular-sized portions, or get creative and have a mix. Your guests will be overwhelmed by the options in the best way. We'll bring wedding catering to a new level.

Donut Bar

A donut bar is an adorable food station that always goes over well. Whether your special day is kid-free or not, no one will leave without stopping to see the donut options, especially since we can display them however you'd like! Whether they're hanging on planks or are stacked to the skies, your donut bar will be an eye-catching feature!

You may be hesitant to commit to a donut bar if you or any of your guests have dietary restrictions, but we can work around that. Our team of wedding planners are experts at finessing the menu to keep everyone happy! We have recipes for dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan donuts that are so good you won't notice the difference. So if you want a donut bar, we'll get you a donut bar!

P.S. Can someone please do a space theme with us so we can do this style of galaxy donuts again!?

Pizza Station

What's better than pizza after a long night of dancing? Unlimited pizza throughout a long night of dancing! A pizza station will keep your guests energized the entire night, fueling them to join you on the dance floor.

We can make pizzas to your exact preferences - flavors, dietary needs, crust specifications, you name it. Guests go gaga over pizza stations, especially when they feel good about what they're putting in their bodies (want all organic food? Let your wedding coordinator know!). We'll make sure everyone is reaching for a slice!

Taco Bar

We love taco bars for many reasons, but particularly because of their versatility. They're perfect for wedding catering! From shells to meat to meat to toppings, the combinations are infinite. We can provide everything from jicama shells with jackfruit to flour tortillas with ground beef to satisfy you and your guests. My favorite taco? Tacos al pastor…perfection!

Sushi Station

Some food stations are used for the main meal at a wedding, and others are for a quick bite. If you want a fan-favorite station for a quick bite, try a sushi bar. Sushi bars can house all your favorite rolls, and they can be rolled right in front of your eyes. Your wedding planner will be impressed, too! But don't worry, we're professionals we won't get distracted...though sometimes we wish we could be the guests at our events!

Guests will love watching chefs roll their sushi, and they'll know it's fresh. You'll want to take a break from chatting to catch a glimpse of the sushi chefs at work, too! Check out our article coming soon about Chef Action Stations!

Crostini Station

Crostini stations are a great way to eliminate the need for waiters to offer hors d'oeuvres to guests. This can help cut down on your staffing costs by skipping over the butler passed hors d'oeuvres! During your cocktail hour, guests can visit a crostini station to assemble their own appetizer. Crostini stations are also called Bruschetta Bars! However, we usually think of Bruschetta Bars to be served warmed and aided by a chef. We could have a whole other blog post just about the differences between Crostini and Bruschetta according to it’s Italian origins…but we’ll save that for another day! Pick which every name makes you happy!

Fry Bar

Fry bars are gaining popularity at weddings, and for a good reason! We can take whatever you love - potato, zucchini, sweet potato - and turn it into a fry for your entire party to enjoy. We'll deck out the whole bar with sauces, dips, and condiments galore. Of course, there will be fry sauce, we are in Utah after all! Ok, ok, if you don't want the fry sauce we can leave it off! However, have you ever tried fry sauce and bleu cheese dipping sauce as a combo!?

And a fry bar doesn't have to stop at fries. If you want cheese balls, jalapeno poppers, onion rings, or something else covered in batter, we can add that, too.

Pretzel Bar

Wedding guests are also going crazy over pretzel bars. We love them, too, because we can stock them with any type of pretzel you want. We're partial to a classic soft pretzel covered in sea salt and dipped in cheese, but we also love a cinnamon-sugar pretzel with icing.

But pretzel bars don't have to be limited to soft pretzels. If you like hard pretzels - bites, sticks, twists - we can add those to the bar, too. If you're a drinker, hard pretzels and soft both are tasty in a delicious beer cheese sauce!

Takeout Station

Want your guests (and your wedding planner!) to part with something a little more exciting than a bottle of bubbles? Send them home with takeout! We can make the takeout station of your dreams no matter what your favorite type is. From egg rolls and orange chicken to naan and vindaloo, if you can have it delivered to your house, we can have it at your wedding.

So why does this wedding coordinator suggest food stations?

Food stations don't just provide your guests with a snack; they're a centerpiece of your reception and unite all in attendance. They're the perfect addition to any wedding catering. As the top-rated catering company in Utah, if you want the tastiest and most eye-catching food station at your wedding, we'll make it happen!
