Stations are typically presented on smaller themed food tables. The concept is for guests to mingle while discovering different food options. Ideally, guests will not be asked to sit all at once, and tables may be different sizes and shapes to further indicate the dynamic nature of the party. Food shall be served on smaller plates meant to be left behind before wandering off in search of exciting new culinary discoveries! www.canardscatering.com 240.434.3602 Page 1
