I want to serve a buffet wedding for approx. 130?

Planning a country western wedding. Want to cook a pig, chicken, baked beans, etc. Looking for suggestions since I'm doing this myself. I have a budget.I want to serve a buffet wedding for approx. 130?
where are you located? you should contact your local deli and see if they do pig roasts. this saves a lot of stress on your end, they show up with the pig roast and all the fixings and then clean up! they might even offer some kind of a deal. we did this for a family gathering last summer and it was so great and authentic and everyone loved it.
Pig, chicken, beans, potato salad and maybe a pasta salad and some bread with butter. Were you wanting a menu or how to do it step by step? For only a 130 people you should be able to make each side in large foil turkey roaster. Have a small pan incase you go over.I want to serve a buffet wedding for approx. 130?
deviled eggs always seem to go over well in our group of friends. i don't know what the budget is, but sliced cheeses seem to go well also. it may be a lot of work, but if you put a slice of cheese on a cracker then the cheese will go further because people tend to take the cracker also and don't just load up on four or five slices of cheese. serve them together, not seperately.
We did the catering for 250 and there are some issues if you don't have access to a commercial kitchen with sheet racks, hotel pans, large sauce pans. etc. It also took us 4-6 of us 3 and a half days. Menu: roasted vegetable platters, squash lasagna, tomato-avocado salad and blue cheese green salad. Plus bread, cheese and, of course, cake.I want to serve a buffet wedding for approx. 130?
I catered for 300 last summer at a ranch and what you want is very do-able. Offered home made hot rolls, the usual beans, potato salad and coleslaw. I also had huge bowls of cantalope that had been cut into large bite size pieces, and watermelon wedges, removed the rind down to the pink, sliced it length wise in half and made wedges, cut them into slices that end up being triangles. Easy to tong out of bowl and no rind waste to clean up. I had an assortment in tall, very large, margarita glasses of baby dill pickles, beet and okra pickles, onion wedges, and barbeque sauce. We had access to a new water trough to put cold drinks and water bottles in, set it up on hay bales to raise it up. They arranged for a bar with beer kegs and margaritas only.



We sat old fashioned lanterns of every discription around the tables and hooked them up in the trees. Lots more that you can do.



Good luck.
