If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
