Cocktail hour plays a major role in your wedding day and as we say at The Briarcliff Manor, “It All Begins With Great Food”. Cocktail hour allows you to personalize your wedding day to best fit you and your partners tastes which includes different food stations and passed appetizers options to pick from.
Everything we serve here is delicious but we do have a top 10 list that we want to share.
So, keep reading to find out which passed appetizers are our favorite!
1. Franks In a Blanket
The classic Franks in a Blanket is always a passed appetizer favorite! It’s a great touch of personalization if you and your partner love football sundays or simply just love the idea of having a hotdog during your wedding day!
2. Caprese Skewer (GF)
Caprese skewers are a nice refresher to stray away from the pasta or heavier dishes. These add a simple yet elegant touch to the food choices for your cocktail hour.

Our tuna tartare wonton is a delicious choice to incorporate some seafood choices for those non-meat eaters on your wedding day! With our soy glaze on top, it’s the perfect option for guests who love seafood.
- Mini South of the Border Tacos
Typically our couples opt-in for the ‘short rib mini south of the border tacos’ and guests cannot get enough! If you don’t enjoy short rib, we have different options to choose from, such as, tuna tartare, brisket, pulled chicken or cilantro lime shrimp. Our servers carry these individual tacos as passed appetizers which you and your guests can grab and enjoy!
We like to offer a Margarita Shooter to pair with the taco for a small additional cost to really start the celebrations!

The classic burger and fry combo never misses! Our shoestring fries, slider and ketchup add a nice option for guests to choose as they visit the other food stations.
