My reception hall has no kitchen, I have no money for a caterer. What are some simple dishes that will work?

My step mother is a caterer from out of state but has offered to cater the wedding to save us some money. We are renting a condo close to the reception site, so that will be the only stove we have. What are some easy dishes that will work for a beach wedding reception? There will be 50 guests.My reception hall has no kitchen, I have no money for a caterer.

Cold dishes and things in a crock pot or things made on an electric frying pan.
Finger sandwiches

Chips and dips

Fruit tray with dip

Veggie tray with dip

Pasta salad

Little meatballs in bbq sauce can be kept warm in a crockpot.

You must ask your stepmother this question. She is a caterer, and she knows what she does best. Don't give her a list! Ask her to give you a list of things she can do well in the circumstances you describe.
Lasagna with and without meat is quick as easy and inexpensive. Also ravioli and chicken parm are good options. Also have a salad made for the first course.
artichoke dip with bread or crackers, a cold pasta salad and finger sandwiches with fancy tooth pics in them. A chocolate fountain with a pyramid of strawberries and other fruits.
Ham, Caesar salads, potato casserole, and rolls.
If you want it to look fancy looking:

Fruit skewers platters

Cheese platters

Chicken platters

Swedish meatball

Shrimp cocktail patters

Salad

Slice meat platters



Good luck and Congrats!
Have you thought about warming trays or something to keep the food warm?

You could use foods such as meatballs, pastas, chicken wings, bake chicken with rice or just some cold foods.
