For events that are going to be held at the Diamond Event Center and you’d like your guests to get to know one another while encouraging them to move about, socialize and interact with each other, Station Serving is for you!
Being a newer concept with weddings but already a main stay in networking type of events, food stations are a wonderful way to aid your guests in geting to know each other! Stations are designed to be interactive, giving guests the ability to create a personalized dining experience. This gives you peace of mind that all of your guests will have a meal that meets each of their needs and desires. To encourge guests to move about and mingle, stations are positioned throughout the ballroom. No longer are the meal and the fun separate. Toasting, dancing and cake cutting are inter-mingled with your guests enjoying a relaxed, extended dinner. Station Serving takes your cocktail hour of socializing to an all new level!
Standard Sequence: Appetizer Stations (included in select packages) kicks off the fun, followed by a Salad Station (first course serving time is determined by you), rolling into Hearty Side Station(s) and Entree Station(s) with the grand finale being the Decadent Dessert Station!
