Buffet or dish service: Decide if you prefer a buffet or dish service. Both have their advantages, but make sure the food is arranged in an inviting and accessible way.

Edible decorations: Add edible decorations such as fresh herbs, edible flowers or fresh fruit to add a touch of elegance to dishes.

Soft drinks: Offer a variety of soft drinks such as flavoured waters, fruit juices and carbonated drinks to suit all tastes.

Wines and spirits: If you're serving spirits, select a range of wines, beers and spirits to suit your guests' menu and preferences.
