The Ultimate Guide to Grazing Tables (and When to Choose One)

Why a Grazing Table?

Grazing tables are abundant, interactive, and seriously photogenic. Built around artisanal cheeses, cured meats, seasonal fruit, breads, and dips, they let guests mingle and nibble without a formal sit-down.

When It Shines

• Weddings & showers: Wow-factor for cocktail hour
• Corporate mixers: Great for networking flow
• Home gatherings: Variety for mixed dietary needs

Sizing Basics

• Plan 6 - 8 bites per person per hour for cocktail-style events
• Treat as a light meal if it overlaps lunch or dinner
• We’ll map table length, elevation, and pacing so it looks lush (never cramped)

Customization Ideas

• Theme: Mediterranean, Rustic Farmhouse, or an English-inspired breakfast vibe
• Dietary: Vegetarian-forward zones, dairy-light options, gluten-friendly crackers
• Brand moments: Edible logos, color-matched garnishes for corporate events

Day-Of Timeline

Our team typically arrives about 2 hours before your event to build, style, and finish garnishes so your graze is guest-ready right on time.
