What’s For Dinner?



When it comes to weddings, there are so many details that are taken into account. The décor, the music, the dress, the colors, invitations and the lists go on. However, there are always a few primary elements that leave a lasting impression on guests. Let’s face it, everybody walks away talking about the look, feel and sounds of the reception, but most importantly, the food.

For centuries, food has been at the center of all occasions, including social events, family gatherings and especially marital unions.  So, in order to execute a successful wedding, the food must be nothing shy of spectacular.

The Chefs at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport place a particular focus on the food. Realizing that the menu is critical, the culinary team “feeds” the taste buds with their creativity and flavors of the season. Our Chefs find local, season and fresh ingredients to develop a menu that leave guests begging for more.

A few of the hot summer menu trends include:
·         Fresh and local – brides are leaning more toward healthier yet delicious options that will leave their guests full, but not unable to dance the night away.
·         Dessert stations in addition to wedding cake – bite size, mini desserts are trending…from cake pops to mini-crème brulee along with the bride’s and groom’s favorite candies.
·         Popcorn – believe it or not, this salty snack is making its way as a post-dinner delight to balance the sweet and salty cravings of the evening.
·         Refreshing watermelon cocktails – watermelon is working its way up on the cocktail scale. This refreshing fruit is making it to the bars and cooling down guests between the cocktail hour and the dance floor.
·         Smaller portions – sometimes guests can have it all ~ with smaller entrée portions, guests are given the opportunity to try more food items “tapas style,” especially with the finger food during the cocktail hour.
