Menu for a reception: What do you think? Can I make it better?

This is all a last minute plan because we have decided to go for an outdoor wedding at a local botanical garden. Afterwards we will have the reception at a friend's apartment complex (this is money saving, but it is a nice clubhouse with a deck and we will put some tables outside What do you think about this idea?)





Now as for the menu I have never been good at putting together the right flavors. So far I am planning to serve skewered sesame beef, skewered salmon, and maybe skewered chicken satay or shrimp cocktail as hors doerves. (These skewers have one large bite of meat not a whole skewer). Also mini croissants, fruit/cream platter, veggies/cheese/crackers platter. For the entree: bourbon pecan chicken or chicken marsala(no pasta) (are these too rich to serve?), green bean medley, and red roasted rosemary/garlic potatoes. This is for about 30-35 people is this too much food? What would be a better entree? Should I serve pasta instead of chicken as the entree like tortellini etc

DE-LI-CI-OUS





You have put a lot of thought into this

Reply:Instead of Shrimp cocktail have Coconut shrimp (coat the shrimp with coconut %26amp; fry)





You can put the fruit on the same platter but off to the side (I don;t know about the cream (IT'S TOO HOT FOR ALL THAT) veggies/cheese/crackers platter


skewered sesame beef %26amp; skewered chicken (sounds good)





Serve a garden salad right before the entree (Do not give chooses of salad dressing (PICK ONE like Itlian) that's it





If you want to serve the mini croissants I would serve them with dinner





the entree: bourbon pecan chicken, green bean medley, and red roasted rosemary/garlic potatoes (sounds good) %26amp; maybe grilled salmon or some type of beef to go with green bean medley, and red roasted rosemary/garlic potatoes








I would stay away from sauces if possible.








CONGRTATS! Hope this helps!
Reply:you've made me hungry with your list, can i have an invite, sounds great.
Reply:Skip the chicken satay, as you're having chicken for the entree. I'd probably skip the salmon skewers too (since you have the shrimp cocktail). Serve the croissants with the meal. I think either chicken entree is fine. If you're trying to save money, just have wine and beer and a champagne punch at the bar, regular champagne for toasting after the meal. Don't go overboard with the veggies or the cheese; people never make a dent in it. You may even want to offer the fruit and cream as a light alternative to cake as a dessert instead of an hors d'oeuvre. If you have any vegetarian guests, you can serve them the pasta.
Reply:Personally I think it sounds very nice. You have a good variety ans you have to remember that people have different tastes. I just finished planning my Reception/Dinner and I know how difficult it can be. Aove all remember it is your day so have whatever you want sweetie. My very best wishes for a wonderful wedding and a life filled with happiness. Congrats
Reply:Sounds like you got the cooking skills to come up with about anything and leave people wanting more!! Try throwing some veggies on your skewers-like onions, carrots and peppers. Make a salad- whether it is pasta or a green salad. Everyone loves salad. Sounds like you will have enough food though. Good LUck!!

Can a broke unemployed horticulturist (myself) find a job and move to Hawaii without living there?

I would love to work at one of the many botanical gardens there. I understand there are also a few corporations doing corn and soybean research there as well. I would also like to work to help the endangered plants there. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A great employment search engine - simply hired.com
Reply:Living in Hawaii is very expensive. Most couples have both husband and wife working, and most people work two jobs to make ends meet. I strongly recommend that you first read the book, "So you want to live in Hawaii" which is available online at Amazon and other booksellers.

Have you or anyone you know ever gotten married at the Toledo Botanical Gardens in ohio?

Yes...It was a very beautiful wedding. I also know people who just get their wedding photos taken there.

Have you or anyone you know ever gotten married at the Toledo Botanical Gardens in ohio?
No, but I looked into the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Pricey!!! It was out of our budget, so we are looking at parks instead. I just want an outdoor wedding with lots of flowers, and I know I can find it for less.

Where can i go to find good locations for photoshoots in my city?

LOoking for good locations other than the typical: piedmont park, botanical gardens, and atlantic station.





So if there's a site for searching for sites in your city or just places in Atlanta i'd like to know!

Where can i go to find good locations for photoshoots in my city?
Somewhere cool might be something like a more run-down or industrial area that isn't as "pretty" on the outside, especially if you're going to pose people in front of it, because it would be a nice juxtaposition. Maybe even somewhere like Cabbagetown that has a lot of tornado damage. Also, Little Five Points has a bunch of interesting buildings and people, and lots of cool things like graffiti on the walls everywhere.
Reply:U can shoot anywhere any street any rubish.


just when u're creative u can take incredibale shots even @ home.


Focus on nature


Good Luck
Reply:I haven't been to Atlanta in twenty years, but there used to be a place called Atlanta underground with neon lights and some of the time exposures were unreal. A Bunch of weird people hung out on peach-tree street and that was good to shoot around.


Top of the Mart gave some outstanding shots in the air.
