Is shared/feasting style catering dead?

Shared/feasting style catering is not dead; it remains fashionable and cost-effective.

While single-serve food ideas have gained popularity, particularly during the COVID-19 era, shared plates offer a communal dining experience and can be more economical.

Single-serve catering often entails higher costs due to individual portions and service requirements.

Is not dead personally I don't like grazing tables, lots of wastage plus weddings are in summer ... not great to have things outdoor, flies and Western Australia heat  not a great combo.

Hi there,

No, we from HLB Catering, have been doing quite a few of shared meals. We're all different with different ideas and point of views. Feasting is a very nice way to eat while having fun. 
We serve shared platters and grazing tables a lot!  I'm sure your guests will enjoy their time.

If you like the idea, go ahead! it's your big day, do it the way you've always dreamed of.

Catering styles are very personal. Nothing is necessarilly in/out of vogue with respect to shared platters or single servings. Shared platters do require significantly wider guest tables as they do take up space and make for reaching difficulties by the guests. It may look lavish, but serving can become quite difficult.

Hi,

No!! At Cheese and Chai Au, we offer various options for shared food such as grazing tables, food (multiple cuisines) table setups with styling and platter boxes. 

No! This question is perfectly timed as just an hour ago HC Catering just got a review from a happy bride! Here's a snippet mentioning the shared / feasting style:  "A special mention to the sharing platters, guests found this the most wholesome way of having a meal as they were passing each other food and it really felt like family time. Did I mention the food was INSANE!"
