Catering

Catering is probably the biggest chunk of your wedding budget. My advice is to go with a caterer you know who delivers the goods. Always try before you buy - all good caterers offer tasting menus. 

Trends 

Everyone is a foodie now. People are so much more food conscious these days. There's a move towards couples spending more per head on food but spending less overall by keeping the guest list down. 

There will always be $100 per person wedding receptions. 

Traditional Chinese Banquet

A sample menu may include:

• Crab Claw
  
• Suckling Pig
  
• Abalone Soup*
  
• Half Lobster
  
• Quail
  
• Steamed Fish
  
• Lotus Leaf Rice
  
• Dessert
  

* Much more sustainable than shark fin soup, a trade of which I don't support.
