2. How to decide the wedding menu and recommend it?
1, main course selection
On the menu of the wedding banquet, order one or two dishes to keep up appearances first. This dish must be advanced, upgrade the whole table, and then order an attractive dish, such as celery and lily, which means it will last for a hundred years. Green vegetables are the cheapest seasonal dishes, sweet soup and corn soup are better, golden yellow, good-looking on the table and rich in color; Salted soup with wild mushroom soup, these two soups are in line with the green theme, and the important thing is that they are cheap and do not lose grade.
Step 2 choose hot dishes
Hot dishes are the highlight of the wedding menu, and chicken, duck, fish and seafood are indispensable. But when ordering hot dishes, don't order dishes with too low grade, because after all, it's just a banquet, and the grade of the whole table should be considered. Pay attention to see which dishes can be discounted. In fact, many wedding banquet restaurants have discounts. Pay attention to the collocation of tableware, and the tableware must be beautiful.
3, wedding menu collocation principle
Vegetarian collocation: There should be 6-8 hard dishes in the general menu, that is, chicken, duck, fish and seafood. In order to get bored, we should also stir-fry some vegetarian dishes.
Practice collocation: stir-fry, stir-fry, stew, so many dishes, don't just choose stir-fry or stir-fry, which is not only bad for your health, but also has a single taste!
Taste matching: fresh, spicy, sweet and sour, these tastes can be matched at the same time, and the arriving guests have different tastes, which should be light and heavy.
4. Fruit selection
At the banquet, in addition to vegetables, fruit will definitely be served after dinner. When choosing fruits, you should choose fruits with auspicious meanings. For example, pomegranates and grapes represent many children, peaches and strawberries.
Life is sweet, kumquat represents wealth, and apple represents health. In short, try to choose these beautiful fruits.
3. How to book a wedding hotel?
1. Understand the prices and features of major hotels.
Now, search your favorite hotel online, their food prices, menus, environment, if there are any features. If the wedding reception is held in an ordinary hotel, it is meaningless. Choose one more, then make a field trip and choose the most satisfactory one for the wedding reception.
2. Can the deposit be refunded?
After you book the hotel, you will pay some deposit. But there are exceptions to everything. If the hotel temporarily changes to a banquet, whether these deposits can be refunded or half will be discussed.
3. Do you want to take the red carpet?
Some friends didn't invite a wedding company to their wedding reception. Everyone's requirements are different, but the hotel should lay a red carpet to represent the celebration. This should also be agreed in advance. If you don't say it first, you will be charged extra.
4. Does the hotel have a master of ceremonies?
In addition, don't ask the friends of the wedding company, but also ask whether the hotel has a master of ceremonies. There must be a master of ceremonies at the banquet. Some high-end hotels have emcees. If not, you'd better contact a master of ceremonies in advance to avoid looking for someone temporarily.
5. Wedding wine standard
The price of wedding wine provided by the hotel will be relatively high, so it needs to be purchased in advance. At this time, you should communicate clearly with the hotel in advance. Choose different grades of wine according to wedding needs. Choose some high-end healthy wine, such as Xiaohua wine, which is affordable and of good quality and can be used as a brand.
6. Does the hotel provide free audio?
Many wedding companies don't have stereos, but hotels still provide them. For example, some specially selected songs and equipment tuning are provided free of charge. If you need Andhadhun to tune the sound effect midway, whether it is free or not, all these should be discussed. In short, everything that needs to be paid should be explained in advance, and it is too late to mention it before the wedding reception begins.
