Is this enough food for cocktail hour?

Stations:
1-Seasonal Fruit, Imported Cheeses & Vegetable Station
2-Antipasto & Mediterranean Dishes
3-Pasta Station with Assorted Breads (2 types of pasta dishes)
4-Carving Station (2 meats)
5-Raw Bar (shrimp, oysters, clams)

10 Butler Style Passed Hors D'oeuvres

Just wondering because I added stuff to the cocktail hour and want to see if we have enough now.

i have basically all that plus 8 chaffing dishes of hot food.

it will probably be enough food, but i'm getting a lot more (though it will probably go to waste anyway!)

I thought the same thing when I booked with OFC, I'm not even adding the raw bar like you did..That was my main concern but then I realized the real food inside is what's amazing there and that way people won't be too stuffed to eat it. We did switch out the Antipasto station for meditterean while falafel, or kebabs and hummus (since we're Jewish). No one really eats those meats on both sides..

Yeah, I'm thinking that it should be fine. I was a little concerned about it because some other halls we looked at included SO much in the cocktail hour...but I'm sure I'll be fine.

We didn't add the raw bar or the carving & it was more than enough food for our 140 guests. The pasta was delicious. I wanted the raw bar but they weren't pushing it & also we went heavy on the passed being seafood. I'm not sure what dinner choices you are going with but I'd stay away from the strip steak. I've heard from a bunch of people that it wasn't too good, not cooked right or cold. The duck & Chilean Sea Bass was great.

I think it's fine. I hate going to wedding and having a huge CH, then not eating the meal!

This happened at VYC once...the CH was so big (and delish!), that we barely ate our meal!
