My parents went to a wedding where the bride and groom were the ones serving the buffet, so they had someone manning the food, and they couple were able to make sure they greeted everyone, which I thought was genius!

What makes your videos a hit is that they’re not a sales pitch. So many times when you come across wedding advice it’s biased or sponsored or coming from a source that might mean well but ultimately has a sales goal at the end of it. By giving professional advice, that’s backed up by experience and common sense, it’s the best help a bride can get. I personally work in the event industry and I still found your videos so helpful in planning my wedding. Congratulations on hitting 100, 000! I’m sure your channel will only continue to grow!

As someone who has worked in restaurants, it's a LOT of work to prepare that much food, for more than 20-30 people. Even if you're only doing a cold finger buffet, it's so much organisation. Any bride/groom who can prepare a full blown, nice meal for their own wedding day of 100+ guests in advance, is impressive.

I catered my own wedding last year, from apps to dinner and even dessert! It was incredibly time consuming but got tremendous compliments for the food! Control freak that I am, good food was the only thing I needed to be perfect for the wedding!

I don’t even have a wedding to plan. (Been married 23 years) I just enjoy your videos! You have a great personality!

I dreamed of catering my own small wedding. I created menus, practiced recipes, and planned it all out. What stopped me was fridge space. I had no where to store the food for 2-3 days. Most standard fridges won't hold the large aluminum pans flat. So I went with a pro!

Ive been in business for 6 years, and even us planners need someone on YouTube to go to. 😉 Congratulations!🎊

I’m not technically a professional baker but I’ve done several cake decorating lessons and been baking everyone’s cakes for years. Not engaged yet and probably won’t be for a few years but the idea of making my own wedding cake, especially because it’s relaxing for me and can be done a few days in advance, is super exciting for me. I think making my own wedding cake would be so personal and lovely and it means my fiancé and I can have any cake we want and know how it’ll turn out.

I was considering doing a “grazing table” and sourcing almost everything from Costco. Fruit, deli meat, cheese, etc. all need to be around the same temperature, and can sit out for a similar amount of time without spoiling. Plus it would be cost effective and delicious depending on the type of cheeses and meats used! Plus crackers and breads are super easy to deal with when it comes to food safety/transport.

You need more cups than you think, especially if it is hot or you have multiple locations. People put their cups down or throw away after use or half use. My cousins wedding we ran out of cups before dinner even started because it was outdoors and so hot people used 1-2 cups right after the ceremony.

I love that all of your "Should you ___?" videos don't necessarily come with a yes/no answer! You present the question so your betrothed viewers can make a more educated decision for themselves. So helpful, and doesn't seem like something everyone else in the business is doing.

I was once asked to plan a cold platter for a wedding, just for snacks. this was already such a complicated undertaking that i cannot imagine ever voluntarily planning the whole meals for a whole wedding

Super informative video, as always Jamie!
I went to an intimate, 20-person wedding a few weeks ago in a cabin, and they DIY’ed their food with great success! It was pretty much all Wegmans - trays of subs, wraps, chips, veggies, and fruits, followed by a dessert table with cake, macarons, cookies, and lemon bars.
The bride had bought single-use plates and utensils, but they were made from bamboo. Everyone threw their own plates away, and some friends helped with clearing the rest later that night.

Jamie my only favor and recommendations for you is to never ever ever change you. I look forward to these videos and I love that even though you edit your own videos you still leave all the good funny moments of you which we love. I know more followers does require more responsibility but we are all here because of you and your personality so don't change we love you and thanks for the video as always

I am blessed to have a mom who’s a chef and caterer. The plan is to have her and a catering friend cook food in the days prior to the wedding. And then on the day of wedding hire two of her catering friends to run the food show! I’m really excited about incorporating our cultural food but having the help day of to prep and serve.

This was recently something that me and my fiancé recently contemplated. Breakfast food catering in the dfw area for 90 guests was going to run about $1500-2000. Our friends agreed that was ridiculous and offered to cook for our wedding. We all agreed and decided that’s what we were going to do. The more I got to thinking about it, the more I realized I didn’t want them cooking on my wedding way. I was them to celebrate with us. Someone from the Spanish service at my fiancé’s church reached out to us and offered to cater. We are getting eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, bread, and fruit for 90 people for around $800!

My fiancé and I were just talking about this!!! We were discussing spending around 1200for only 50 people or ask a few family members to help make some food. 1, 200 just seems like too much for only 50 people…

I DIY some food on my wedding day, we did a charcuterie spread, made potato salad, pasta salad and charro beans because we had a taco truck that only served tacos and sliders w fries. Food was bomb!
