How much do I need to serve for a reception?

For a two hour reception, plan on serving 12 to 16 pieces per person for individual bite size hors d’oeuvres and about 3 or for selections. For items displayed on buffet table, you will at least need to serve 3 different selections. However, we recommend at least 5 different selections which can include one sweet choice. You may also combine your selection between individual pieces and displayed platters. Reception is usually served with beverages, whether you choose to serve non-alcoholic beverages, beer and wine or a full bar.
