EVERYONE has been to a wedding where the food was a bit of a let down.
However, one bride was left dealing with a grazing table that was more “mayhem” then just “meh”.
Reddit users were shocked by the grazing table set up at one budget-friendly wedding (stock image)[/caption]
The sorry display was shared on a Reddit group dedicated to Wedding Shaming.
One Reddit user posted a screenshot of a “budget” grazing table from a stranger’s wedding.
In the original caption, the poster wrote: “This is an actual set up a bride had to deal with.”
The unnamed person went on to share the most important piece of advice when booking a caterer.
“Check reviews on companies,” they advised other brides-to-be.
The Redditor chimed in that “you get what you pay for” and since this happy couple tried to cut corners, their caterers cut a shocking element to their set up.
In the picture, a spread of buffet style appetisers can be seen sitting directly on the table cloth.
There appears to be no dishes or plates available to display the selection of food.
However, plastic cutlery has been placed alongside the display for people to apparently help themselves.
There is even a lazy attempt at decorating the table despite the lack of basic utensils.
A vase with three sad flowers dropped over the side is placed behind the piles of food.
The selection included berries, which had created a large stain on the white tablecloth.
There was also a display of cheese and crackers spread across the tables.
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the shocking effort in the comments section.
One disgusted person described the sad display as “utterly disgusting”.

Another Redditor agreed, calling the set up “obscene”, while another joked: “I would hike up my dress and fight the caterers if I paid for charcuterie and it looked like this.”
“This is just gross and unprofessional no matter the price,” commented a third person.
“Not even a single platter. That’s UNHINGED,” agreed another Reddit user.
“Love the lonely decor piece of a goblet surrounded by a wooden cage with wilted roses. Just adds to the depressing display of indolence,” said one reader.
“The juice from the berries on the tablecloth is killing me,” commented another person.
