BRUNCH RECEPTIONS:

an emerging wedding trend

It’s becoming increasingly trendy to host a wedding brunch instead of a dinner. If you’re planning your big day, here are a few good reasons to consider having a brunch reception.

An Early Event

Do you find it hard to stay up until the wee hours of the morning? Are you inviting several seniors or young children to your wedding? Do some guests prefer not to drive at night? For all of these reasons, a morning wedding might be a great option. This way, everyone will be in high spirits from start to end.

An Irresistible Menu

Contrary to what some people say, brunch doesn’t have to be simple or pared down. In fact, you can serve up a variety of fancy hot and cold dishes, including:

• Local cheeses • Belgian waffles • Dauphinois potatoes • Salmon gravlax • Duck breast • Eggs benedict • Fruit cocktails • Game sausages • Niçoise salad • Viennese pastries

If this trending wedding idea appeals to you, find out if the restaurants, reception halls and caterers in your area offer a brunch menu. – NT ª A brunch reception is a great option for a morning wedding.
