Butler-Passed Hors D’oeuvres

Sometimes, a small variety of butler-passed hors d’oeuvres is the perfect way to precede a full course dinner. Passed hors d’oeuvres can be hot or cold, heavy or light, depending on the occassion. Your event planner can help you decide on the perfect selection based on your dinner menu and event details.

Sample Butler-Passed Hors D’oeuvres Menu

Hors D’oeuvres and Appetizer Display

On other occasions, your entire event might consist of a beautiful buffet of finger foods and lighter fares. In lieu of a formal dinner, an event may call for “heavy hors d’oeuvres” with a wide variety and more pieces per person. Alternatively, the selection may include lighter, simpler items displayed buffet-style for space, budget, or logistic considerations.
