The dinner buffet is perhaps the most practical and congenial way in which to care for your guests. It can be either country casual or very formal, as you wish. It provides a more relaxed method of dining, but also provides for you a more varied menu format than a plated, full service meal. In developing a buffet which closely matches your requirements for quality, menu, and cost, we have devised the following categories to help you to choose the price and service needs which suit you the best.

Please note that the cost of the service style must be added to the cost of the buffet entree category which you choose on the following pages. You will be charged the appropriate service style charge, per place setting, for the actual number of seats you have set; at or beyond your actual guarantee.

Each service style includes the labor for the set-up (not including tables and chairs) and service of your meal, linen tablecloths in colors and sizes as available through Mission Linen Co., and white table skirting for your head table, buffets, dessert table, beverage table, and gift table (if needed). Please remember that nothing is cast in cement. Mixing and matching of service style makeup, buffet format, or entree categories is perfectly allowable. Just let us know what it is that you would like to do and we'll be happy to price it for you.

Your Dinner Buffet

Each buffet has a number of items which come as standards or basics to a complete menu. Although we have listed a certain number of choices for each section, feel free to ask about changing or substituting items. You'll find us very flexible. The following items are a part of every buffet which we serve.
