A wedding is a thousand and one decisions -- no, make it a thousand and two. You may have forgotten all about the wedding feast, but your guests surely won't. Of course, you always have the option of letting your caterers do their job, because after, all, it is their job, but you may want to have a hand in the arrangements too. From food selection to the style of serving, these all count towards a wedding celebration that is truly yours.
And so the question -- are you going to have a sit down dinner or a buffet? Try to look back at all the weddings the two of you have ever attended, and you come closer to a decision. Although your budget is a factor, it does not tip the scales. The cost of your menu determines the price of your catering service, but it does not tell you which is better for you, if it is really going to be a sit down dinner or a buffet.
Formal or Casual in the Mango Farm Atmosphere?
The main difference between the two is the ambiance. Being seated throughout the whole dinner gives a sense of being slightly pampered and spoiled, while standing up to fill up your plate feels slightly more casual, even if you are dressed up to the nines for both scenarios.
Now, think of your guests. If your more youthful guests need some reminders to behave during the reception, you may want to go formal. If most of the people you have invited are of the older generation, they may appreciate the pampering.
The Mango Farm venue can accommodate both atmospheres. This difference between sit-downs and buffets points you in the right direction, but you need a couple more things before the final decision.

Of RSVP's, Seating Arrangements, Menus and Waiters
One characteristic of sit downs is attendance. Formally turning down the wedding invitation becomes terribly important, or else your companions at the table will be one seat short at the table. Some on the spot thinking may be needed from your maid of honor or best man, should a problem come up in this area.
You have to be precise with your seating arrangements for sit down dinners, especially if you have to think of some of your guests with special dietary requirements. With a buffet, people only choose the food they like, so this isn't much of a problem. Buffets are also easier on seating arrangements – you can probably get away with table assignments.
Finally, for sit-downs, make sure you have enough waiters at the event. There is nothing worse at a wedding reception than having to wait a long time for your turn to be served. With buffets, you should also consider several stations instead of one long buffet table – the lines will be shorter, and your guests get to dinner faster.

A Mango Farm Wedding Reception to Remember
Most Mango Farm accredited caterers can deal with both scenarios -- however, you still have to answer the real question, which is, if this is the way you really want to celebrate your wedding. That is all you really to answer. Great company, good food, and a fantastic venue for your wedding reception. Whichever way you go, with these ingredients, you are all set to celebrate your wedding the way you want. Make it as memorable as you can. The celebration should last you a lifetime.
