5. Bonus tip for a wedding menu: Advance tasting<\/strong><\/h2>\nArrange a tasting with your caterer to sample the dishes and adjust the flavors to your liking. It is also an opportunity to check the presentation and portion sizes.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t hesitate to invite loved ones to the tasting to get their feedback; this can help you finalize your choices and make adjustments to certain dishes.<\/p>\n
