I forgot to say I think the idea of the roaming cocktail party reception sounds great! Just reading the list of foods makes me hungry!

I was lucky that my employer has a big room where we could have our wedding and reception (free). My boss decided about two weeks prior to the wedding to take over the food preparation. She also went around to everyone in the office and took a donation and paid for all the food! We had cold cuts, cheeses, various salads (that my boss made herself the day of the wedding – the foods of which she bought on sale!) and desserts. The food ended up costing $457 for 96 guests. Our wedding was under $3000 total cost, but with gifts of money, my boss taking care of the food we ended up paying under $100 out of our pocket. The $3000 included clothes for my husband, our two sons. Check my post linked above for the complete tally.
