Wedding dinner and catering in Croatia: how to choose food and dishes for your wedding

Everyone has their own priorities for their wedding. For some it is the location, and for others it is decorations and flowers. However, food is usually the main topic of every wedding.

Accordingly, the most important rule is that there is enough food for everyone and that the guests do not stay hungry.

Wedding dinner and catering

How to choose food for a wedding?

Choosing the right food is not an easy task and it is influenced by many factors. Some of the most important factors are listed below.

Guest profile

One of the most important criteria is the profile of the guests at the wedding. Young people tend to experiment, older people like safer variants and traditional dishes, and you should think about the youngest guests as well.

Don’t cut your food budget

There are many ways to save on your wedding. Food is probably not the smartest way.

Many wedding guests come precisely for good food and entertainment, so you don’t want to deprive them of that pleasure.

Make sure that the food is nutritious enough and not too heavy (because of the dancing and the atmosphere).

Vegan and vegetarian dishes at the wedding

More and more people today are choosing some of the alternative ways of eating. Vegans and vegetarians are the most common, and we should also not forget about gluten-free diet.

It often happens that classic dishes are prepared for them (the same as for other guests). Namely, often due to lack of education, catering companies only exclude ingredients from classic dishes that, for example, vegans do not consume.

Of course, such dishes are unappetizing, and that is why they should be offered specialized dishes so that they too can equally enjoy the wedding.

Wedding location and food

If the newlyweds are having a wedding in Istria, for example, or if their guests are mostly from that region, they will usually opt for local cuisine.

If this is not the case and you want, for example, continental or mediterranean cuisine, you must see who can deliver it to you.

Also, it is more and more common that one spouse is from a foreign country (and his guests), so care should be taken to match part of the menu with one of the international cuisines.

In the end, it is possible that you will need a combination of regional, international and vegan cuisine, which can deliver quality to a small number of caterers.

Try the menu

To make it easier to choose a menu, it will be very helpful to try the food for the wedding. In this way, you will be able to see if you really like the proposed food and if it is necessary to introduce some corrections or other dishes.
