A DINNER OF MANY BITES - FINGER FOODS, TAPAS AND STATIONS

Wedding Menu Samples and Ideas at MacKechnie House

According to Sebastion Centner (Entertaining Columnist, Globe and Mail)," --- things are getting scaled down. We're seeing a trend away from sit-down dinners and toward more casual parties with food stations and mini -meals"

This is our favourite style for many reasons - it allows for a colourful and varied palette of delicious morsels - something for everyone. It is the most economical, and creates an atmosphere that is immediately relaxed, fun and informal.
