17 Wedding Cheesecake Ideas to Upgrade Your Dessert Bar

If you're thinking of having a dessert table at your reception, no one's going to argue against it! Who doesn't like to be given choices? Instead of a single slice of wedding cake, the offerings on a dessert table are varied and plentiful, giving your guests many delicious options so they're guaranteed to find a dessert they love. It also gives you and your new spouse an opportunity to personalize your wedding even more by having your favorite desserts on the menu.

For many couples, one of those favorites is cheesecake. Creamy and smooth, cheesecake is a longtime crowd-pleaser. It's so versatile that you can serve it a ton of different ways—from bite-sized pieces to a drink! To inspire you, we've rounded up our favorite ways real couples served cheesecake at their weddings. (If you suddenly feel the urge to make a bakery run before you finish reading this, we understand.)
