"We love to work with the hosts and plan a wedding that will really excite their guests," says Colleen Robar, director of public relations for the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dearborn. "Service is what the Ritz is built on, and we do everything to design a reception of their dreams." Robar suggests a combination of passed hors d'oeuvres and stations for the more limited budget. A selection of house wines, usually white, passed among the guests is another cost cutter. A beautifully presented Baron of Beef fills one station, and another offers a cheese display, at the same time, stuffed mushroom caps and filo dough filled spinach and feta are being passed. "We consider the fact when designing hors d'oeuvres, that they can be eaten easily, with no drips and a few small bites," Robar adds. For the more elaborate hors d'oeuvres hour, select champagnes bottled exclusively for the Ritz Carlton in Paris can be served. Additional servers are usually added, taking drink orders when guests come through the doors into the Grand Hallway where most receptions begin. Some favorites being passed are endive lettuce with smoked duck and plumb chutney, and saute foie gras with a raspberry bordelaise sauce, or grilled chicken with jalapeno and monterey jack cheese.
