The Buffet or Meal Etiquette in gatherings

Diary 127 unfolds to public reading:

If you are decided to accept someone’s invitation to attend a special occasion because of the Love and Celebration of Union or any other type of gathering: Please bring with you a bottle of mineral water or a simple snack. 

A wedding ceremony will take up to 1:00 and a half hour long and our program formulated for 10 years will take upto 20-30mins before the meal time. Me, as the wedding planner would always hear these words that is very Unethical:
“Tara, mag MCDO nalang tayo..”
“Hindi pa ba Kayo magpapastart ng buffet..”
“Ano b yan gutom na kmi...”
Etch...

As much as you wanted to start eating,,, we, the staffs and planners would skip our breakfast or lunch to rush the wedding preparation or set up. Some couples would disagree to take their initial meals because they are pressured and tense and don’t know how to eat because of their mixed emotions before walking down the isle. The photo and videography team, captain and waiters will also sacrifice a decent meal to serve you right their priceless presentation and obras. So please be considerate. Not all of the couple are well off to afford more than the buffet: sometimes they can’t even add an appetiser on the menu because they were also spending on the transportation of some guests, clothings, souvenirs and more.

Some clients have a full course meal ordered and some would make it very hard to work for a simple budget to suffice the guests needs in food and refreshments... so pls respect their way of making their event as that’s what they can afford to serve to you. We are doing our best to handle the table presentation as presentable as possible and the food to taste good and as fresh as it can be in the best way that our team can provide. Please always bear with the couple and never leave them right after the meal time.

Now for some couple who are planning to get married:
Have an allowance of a table or two for unexpected guests. Wedding is a simple occasion that your friends might be attending with someone they wanted to be with that is really close to their hearts (they can’t really left at home or behind).

The open buffet will always ready to serve your guest until they wanted to have a second round as long as there are food left on the chafing dishes. If you ordered specific amount of food for specific count of guests, you are lucky to take home some leftovers if not all of your invited guests had come or not. And if not all of them are willing to hit up the buffet to eat all the food that is left available. 

To our respective Mothers and aunts of the couples: do not ask for leftovers until the waiters is finished serving all the guests. There are clashing of interests and confusion between wedding planners and clients if they have seen captain or waiters packing up the food since the event isn’t over yet. Please respect the agreement between the coors and clients and have some ethics to ask before giving instructions to the staffs.

We are normally gathered on these types of social events to celebrate Love and spread more Love. We hope that aside from dressing up your looks, please be prepared to attend with good social approach to everyone. It is our job to make an occasion worthy of the clients budget and make it a memorable one in all positive ways. From here, we are asking for patience and more positive vibes too!

Thank you,
