Serving breakfast at a wedding
I have to ask. A family member is getting married. Oos so we cannot attend. But on her wedding website it says "we love breakfast so that's what we are serving" with a cocktail.
Wedding is early evening.
Would you serve breakfast at your wedding?

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
Someone's trying to save some cash 
edited to answer the question....NO I would not serve breakfast at an evening wedding.
I know someone that got married at Smithspolnt. They had to do it early in the morning basically before the crowds arrived. They served breakfast at their new apartment afterwards. That makes sense.
Not this.

Serving breakfast at a wedding
For a smaller wedding, I could see doing a nice brunch. But, you know, in the morning....

We need someone to go to this wedding to see what's served. "Breakfast" can be anything from custom Omletes to bagels.

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
Nope, I would definitely not do that.
You said OOS, so are weddings more informal where they are? It still doesn't make sense to me to serve breakfast in the evening.

No idea. It's all outside. But in the desert outside. With a cash bar. So far west of Long Island. But breakfast to me screams casual, I agree

I hate to say this BUT only in NY do We host large over priced weddings.
Most OOS affairs are cake and champagne or light sandwiches. I LOVE breakfast items. So, maybe I would :)

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
That's certainly different, but breakfast is good anytime to me.
I'm assuming they are having a more casual affair, very interesting!

Serving breakfast at a wedding
I can't believe I forgot this, but mention of bagels jogged my memory. I went to an (outdoor) wedding a few years ago and they served bagels and, like, pasta salad. No alcohol. No meat. 2 hours of speeches. DH's cousin snuck in a bottle of vodka.
To make matters worse, it was a whole motherflucking weekend.
The rehearsal dinner was pizza. And they ran out of it.
This was in the ti-state area and the bride's family was extremely wealthy- the wedding was at a family member's "summer estate."

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
I know it's not here but just because they love it doesn't mean everyone else will.
My mom is a stickler for your wedding is for your guests not you. Yes it's your day but would you serve Chex mix and tequila if that's what you loved. It makes sense.
And there is no mention of the brides parents and a vague mention of the grooms mom making the rehearsal dinnner food.

That's what I was thinking- man her family likes to party! they're gonna stay up so late, they're gonna need breakfast! (some people do give bagels as a favor for the morning)
I'm surprised the venue would even offer breakfast at night.
eta-I just saw it is outdoors in the desert. so I guess it isn't really a catering place. Either DIY, or catered by someplace casual?
I wouldn't mind a pizza rehearsal dinner ( causal rehearsals can be fun), but part of that fun is knowing that the next night is going to be fancy. And running out of food is a fear(when I'm hosting)/big pet peeve of mine! I went to a buffet wedding, where they ran out. They had more, but we had to wait,. They ran out right before my table, the last table was called, so we were just sitting around while everyone else was eating.

Awesome, love it! That would never happen on LI, where weddings are in gaudy catering halls, and the couples expect over the top cash gifts

Serving breakfast at a wedding
We actually went to a "catering hall" wedding here on LI at 11:00am once for brunch. It was horrible... fake eggs, sausage, bacon and bagels with a carving and a salad thrown in somewhere. The food wasn't good at all and the place was SO dated. The groom's father spent most of the wedding trying to get the DJ to lower the volume on the music. No one danced The whole thing was awful

It's not because they love breakfast. It's because they're cheap lol

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
That''s different, but so are receptions in other parts of the country.
In NY, I'd do breakfast at the afterparty, not the actual reception. If I could have, I would have done a 4 hour cocktail party - that''s always the best part - and a big dessert spread.

I would love that. But I wanted a backyard BBQ wedding. I think the weddings around here (mine included) are such a waste.

Serving breakfast at a wedding
At a wedding here, absolutely no way would I serve breakfast for an evening wedding. I would be shunned by the entire community.
But in other parts of the US absolutely I would. I serve my family breakfast for dinner at home, so why not out somewhere? And just because it is breakfast does not mean it is cheaper or easier. They are probably paying a higher price for a non traditional menu, which is just the way things are. It could be very nice and fun. It's just food and that does not make the wedding good or bad.

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
The wedding is being held at a botincal garden. Seems lifelike it's just food. No dancing or music. Which we don't get because this family member is out going and loves music
Maybe things are different but I don't think serving breakfast is a good idea.

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
I would do it, probably not because not everyone loves breakfast like I do. But I would be super excited about it.
Maybe they are trying to save or cheap out, but maybe they just don't see this expense as important to blow their money on. People waste their money on different things.

Re: Serving breakfast at a wedding
I wouldn't serve it at my wedding, but I wouldn't mind going to a wedding where it was served. OOS weddings have a lot more flexibility to bend to the desires of the couple...here in the tri-state area, a lot of weddings are the same shit, different day.

Honestly, who cares what you think, it's their wedding. I mean that in a nice way
