Standard Courtyard Menu Package

Congratulations from the Meiner’s Catering Staff!

Meiner’s Catering, first and foremost, is committed to make your wedding an “event to be remembered.” Our foods are made with only the freshest ingredients, prepared on site the day of your event, by our Chefs. Our professional wait staff will attend to you and your guests making you feel “right at home.”

The Meiner’s Catering Courtyard Menu Package contains suggested selections. You are encouraged to personalize your menu selections to your taste. This flexibility allows you to stay within your budgeted Courtyard Buffet Package and still have a menu that is distinctly yours.

If you have a favorite family recipe you would like to share with your guests, you may be able to substitute your own recipe for a Courtyard Package salad, vegetable or entrée sauce.

You may upgrade to a carved meats option replacing the chicken and pork entrée.

Hors d’oeuvres or multi-station buffet upgrade packages are available if you prefer an appetizer style buffet.

Brunch menu packages, themed menus, and personalized menus are also available.

Complimentary services in your Courtyard Package include cake cutting, coffee service, sweetheart table, color choice of linens, greenery for buffet and stations, silver chafers, china plates and flatware.

Meiner’s Catering offers other catering services such as a “Day After” buffet breakfast for out of town guests. Consider letting Bubbalou’s Bodacious Bar B Que and Catering Service cater your rehearsal dinner, a relaxing alternative.

The Meiner’s Catering Staff would enjoy the pleasure to serve you and your guests and look forward to assisting you on this very important occasion.
