Considering a service style for your next catered event? Here are a few benefits of choosing buffet style!

✨Buffet style is often considered the most casual, but it doesn't mean sacrificing quality or elegance.

✨Buffet style allows you to offer your guests multiple course options, requiring less planning for the host and ensuring there is something for every guest.

✨At The 1530, all buffets will be staffed allowing guests to be served surprisingly fast and efficiently, especially with a larger guest count.
