Episode 7: Menu Planning & Tenting

Fish as your entrée - does it stink or is it great? Buffet because it's cheaper - wait, is it?  To floor or not to floor a tent... 

Episode 7 is everything you need to know about menu planning and tenting your wedding.

We start with a deep on menu planning — where to actually start when you're building a menu, how to talk to your catering manager so you get their best work instead of their standard PDF, and the fees that automatically add 30%+ to your bill before you've changed a thing. 

We play Feast or Famine, our food and beverage game, and talk shop on everything from champagne toasts to surf and turf to late-night bites. 

We close the episode with a candid conversation about the complexities of tenting, even if you're keeping it casual. You have your tent, but do you have your power, restrooms, temperature controls and rain plans? And what do those tent stakes do to your irrigation lines? 

And finally,  the one question you have to answer honestly before you say yes to a backyard wedding.
