8 cold displays, 4 hot chafing dishes, 2 pasta stations and 1 carving meet. Not sure which qualify as official stations so I figured I'd list them all.

Funny I was just going to write something like this! I'm never sure exactly which of our things qualify as 'stations' per se.

We are getting the carving station , a pasta station, 4 chafing dishes, and we added on a mediterranean station which includes italian and greek dishes

Then the usual hors d'oevres and cold canapes to be passed around, as well as your typical cold displays (Cheeses, fresh Fruits, crudités of fresh Vegetables w/dips, etc)
