How much does it cost to book a wedding banquet? Tips: Wedding dishes are an important criterion for prospective couples to choose wedding hotels. If the food is too bad, the guests will vomit. It tastes good and the price is high, so not everyone can afford it. Therefore, when making a wedding banquet menu, we should not only consider the budget, but also consider the quantity, variety, taste, customs and dietary taboos in different regions. What are the skills in setting the wedding menu? Next, Bazaar Bian Xiao will explain them to you!

? 1. Grasp the budget

As a large part of wedding planning, the wedding banquet accounts for about 40%-45% of the whole wedding budget. Generally, the budget consists of: the standard number of tables for meals X+10- 15% service fee (usually involved in star hotels), and sometimes wedding venue rental fee is involved.

It is suggested that prospective newlyweds should estimate the number of guests and age level in advance when determining the wedding menu, and then determine the number of wedding tables. When determining the hotel budget, we should reserve 10-20% of the wedding budget to avoid unexpected expenses in the follow-up communication process or on the wedding day. With the above criteria, the couple can estimate their own spending on the wedding banquet according to their respective wedding budgets.

Determine the types of dishes

With the increase of wedding forms, many hotel menus will be divided into many types, such as Chinese, Western, buffet, vegetarian and so on. When determining the menu, the prospective couple should consider their own wedding form, the age and region of the guests.

If it is an indoor wedding that combines Chinese and Western styles, Chinese dishes can be considered as the main choice. If it is an outdoor wedding, western-style and buffet style are more suitable for its wedding atmosphere.

Determine the number of dishes

Traditional wedding customs pay attention to couples, so the number of wedding dishes in most areas is even. According to the rule of one table 1 1- 12 people in most areas, two main courses should be added to each person's one dish, as well as cold dishes, soup, staple food, snacks and fruits. Bazaar introduces the collocation of several dishes here for the reference of the newlyweds who are ready to get married:

4 cold dishes +8 hot dishes+1 staple food+1 dessert+1 fruit plate+1 soup = 16.

4 cold dishes+12 hot dishes +2 staple foods+1 dessert+1 fruit bowl +2 soups =22 dishes.

8 cold dishes+10 hot dishes+1 staple food+1 dessert+1 fruit bowl+1 soup =22 dishes.

8 cold dishes+12 hot dishes +2 desserts +2 staple foods+1 soup+1 fruit bowl =26 dishes.

(The specific number of dishes can be adjusted according to your own budget)

Fish, pork, beef, chicken, seafood and shrimp are six essential ingredients in traditional wedding banquets, but the dishes selected are slightly different due to different eating habits in different places.

Cold dishes are mostly mixed with brine, and desserts such as coconut milk, red beans, sago, sweet soup and corn soup are all mainstream dishes.

Hubei and other places are rich in fish, shrimp and lotus root. There are all kinds of fresh water fish and shrimp which are essential for the wedding reception. In addition, sauced duck and pearl balls are also classic dishes in the banquet. In the northern wedding banquet, lion's head, roasted elbow, boiled shrimp and steamed fish are essential traditional dishes.
