This program is supposed to be for someone who wants to make a reservation for a banquet hall and asks the user to answer some simple questions about the event. For the meal plan, room type, and 10 days questions, I want to just have two options that the user can choose, and the user to click one of the options. So like a multiple choice. I tried looking stuff up but all the tutorials I found were for the console version of a multiple choice quiz. I know that one way to do this is by using JButtons, but I wanted to know if there was a more user-friendly way to do this.

I think you have multi option to do that, you can use JRadioButton
, JComboBox
or JCheckBox
, because you have multichoice I think JCheckBox
is the good one for you, take a look at this example from https://docs.oracle.com/ :
//In initialization code:
chinButton = new JCheckBox("Chin");
chinButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_C);
chinButton.setSelected(true);
glassesButton = new JCheckBox("Glasses");
glassesButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_G);
glassesButton.setSelected(true);
hairButton = new JCheckBox("Hair");
hairButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_H);
hairButton.setSelected(true);
teethButton = new JCheckBox("Teeth");
teethButton.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_T);
teethButton.setSelected(true);
Result :
