If you’re having appetizers or hors d’oeuvres at your reception, you may be wondering what to serve. Well, today we’re bringing in an expert to help! We’re pleased to present this article on the best finger foods for weddings from the folks at Anoush Banquet Halls & Catering in California. Enjoy!

When it comes to wedding catering, it is every bride’s dream to “knock it out of the park.” The ultimate goal being to offer guests delicious, trendy, and most importantly, affordable (or at least semi-affordable) fare.

Here are a few finger food suggestions for your big day, sure to have your guests fighting over the last piece.

Fried

Fried foods are always a crowd-pleaser. Some popular choices include:

Lobster beignets– delicate, rich lobster and fluffy pastry inside; crispy, crunchy outside – what is not to love?

Tempura fried stuffed squash blossoms – This light batter does not leave a heavy grease overload feeling. This makes a perfect match for any salty cheese (such as goat cheese).

Arancini Di Roso, a.k.a. fried risotto balls – usually stuffed with some sort of delicious cheese and melt-in-your-mouth pork.

Cured Meat + Fruit

Suggestions: Think Ibérico ham and sweet melon. Add a little sliver almond and micro-bitter green and you’ve got yourself a home run. Well-rounded, delicious, and affordable.

Tea Sandwiches

Suggestion: How about a smoked salmon croque monsieur? Toasted brioche, pickled dill, crème fraiche, preserved lemon and maybe a fried caper or two. I’ll take two please!

Dessert on a Stick

Suggestion: Think citrus and rhubarb “push-pop” with candied kumquats and passion fruit. Want to add a little extra zing? Toss in an amaretto mousseline cream (contains liquor, so keep out of reach of children).
