Here are some of the <strong>top trends in winter wedding catering:<!--more--><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Formal reception dining<\/strong> is in, with upscale foods such as duck and rack of lamb topping the <strong>wedding catering trends<\/strong>. Sit-down dinners are elaborate and well-garnished using winter seasonal vegetables.<\/li>\n<li>Soups are <strong>top winter wedding ideas<\/strong>, offering guests creamy bisques of lobster, acorn squash, pumpkin soup<em> <\/em>and other flavors served either as a course or at a <strong>cocktail party station<\/strong> in small servings for just a taste of hearty comfort foods.<\/li>\n<li>A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/netlz.corank.com\/tech\/tag\/wedding%20trends\">top trend in wedding catering is<\/a><\/strong> now a soup and salad combination, with the salad featuring winter vegetables matching that in the soup flavor, plus seafood accents and gourmet croutons for both dishes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Top wedding trend reports<\/strong> say that market-driven foods are popular now, with <strong>wedding<\/strong> couples more interested in those <strong>wedding menu<\/strong> elements that may cost a few dollars more per-serving. These include market-priced seafoods such as lobster, fish, even certain types of market-priced meats and winter game foods.<\/li>\n<li>Side dishes and vegetable stations feature plenty of winter season root vegetables such as turnips and creamy presentations of root vegetables as an alternative to potatoes.<\/li>\n<li>Risotto cakes are a <strong>top trend in wedding catering, <\/strong>as is a side dish or station of creamy lobster risotto or vegetable risotto.<\/li>\n<li>Also at the <strong>cocktail party<\/strong> are demi forks with single pasta bites, such as a seafood ravioli or a twirl of spaghetti with a meaty or vegetable sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Upscale cuts of beef are in-style for <strong>wedding catering<\/strong> in the winter months, with more filet mignon, chateaubriand, and fine cuts on the menu.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cultural wedding foods<\/strong> are more in demand, with chefs requested to incorporate foods from the couple\u2019s heritage. At pre-wedding parties such as the <strong>rehearsal dinner,<\/strong> the entire meal may be comprised of dishes from the couple\u2019s cultures if they don\u2019t wish to bring those foods into their <strong>wedding reception menu.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Pasta courses<\/strong> are more popular for <strong>winter weddings<\/strong>, since heavier stuffed-cheese pastas fulfill the heartiness of a winter menu, and gourmet sauces may bring in extra organic greens such as a spinach pasta sauce, or a kale-infused sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wedding menus<\/strong> are now more carefully chosen by our New Jersey and New York City <strong>wedding<\/strong> couples, to reflect elements of their love story, their favorite dishes, their family traditions, and their ties to this region. We\u2019re often asked about locally-grown organic foods in our <strong>wedding menus<\/strong>, and our couples coordinate their <strong>cocktail party<\/strong> <strong>menus<\/strong> to their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highlawn.com\/best-wedding-menu.html\">wedding dinner menus<\/a><\/strong>, so that their guests get a wide range of dishes suiting their dining preferences. Even <strong>vegan wedding menu options<\/strong> take on a heartier, creamier feel in winter, and <strong>gluten-free wedding menu items<\/strong> ensure that all guests can have a wonderful meal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Popular wedding menu options<\/strong> include pairing stations of foods or cheeses with great wines or liquors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Late-night wedding menu options<\/strong> include sliders made with high-quality beef, pork or turkey, and creative servings of paninis as just a few of the <strong>top wedding ideas<\/strong> now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter wedding catering focuses on seasonal foods in warm, creamy, comforting textures and rich flavors that turn your wedding reception into a fulfilling feast.
