Let's Eat!

Since I talked about our cocktail hour breakdown yesterday I figured I might as well keep on going and talk about the rest of deliciousness we've got in store for our guests.

I will say that the one and only bummer about our venue is that they don't do food tastings.

I fully understand that we are taking a huge risk by booking a venue without tasting their food, but honestly we have read so many raving reviews about the food at Franklin Plaza that I think we're safe.

We'll start the night off right with a champagne toast (hey, just in case the food's no good at least our guests will be too tipsy to know the difference, am I right?!) and an appetizer. This is followed by a salad, the main entree and dessert. We decided to go with a basic penne marinara for our appetizer (I'm sure all of our Italian relatives will approve!), followed by a mixed salad with peppers, marinated artichokes and balsamic vinaigrette. Mmmmmm. Now for the main meal things got a little tricky. We were told we could have three entrees for our guests to choose from. We settled on the Filet Mignon, Chicken Piccatta and the Eggplant Rollatini (for our vegetarian guests). Okay awesome, so... we're done here, right?

Nope! Imagine our surprise when our coordinator told us that we could can three entrees in addition to a vegetarian dish. Score! And then we were also told that we don't need to choose a specific vegetarian option ahead of time. All we need to do is make note of who would like a vegetarian entree and the waitstaff will present them with four different meat-free options that they can choose from right then and there.

Now that's some good service my friends!

But now we are faced with a bit of a predicament. We've chosen two of our three entrees and can't decide on a third. We've got beef, poultry and veggie options covered so our final one will be a fish dish (Hee Hee). Do you look for the seafood entree at a wedding? If so, which kind would you be most likely to enjoy?

As a wedding guest, which would you prefer?
- Grilled swordfish with herbed butter
- Salmon en Croute with lemon, white wine and dill sauce
- Grilled salmon with mango salsa
- Poached salmon with a dijionaise sause
- Rolled fillet of sole florentine
