Menu Planning

Planning a reception menu is an involved process and must take many factors into account.  Parameters such as the size and type of event, time of day, budget, and day of the week will influence the quantities required and appropriateness of a menu.  This is your event and we want your menus to reflect your ideas.  Because of this, the best way to menu plan is to circle the hors d’oeuvre and specialty display items you might be interested in serving and forward these to your Olmsted event coordinator.  With the items you have marked, your event coordinator will take all other concerns into account and with our chef will create an appropriate menu based on your selections and event parameters.
