Advice on Catering

Posted by shruthi on October 4th, 2018

A big portion of your wedding reception is the food. Picking the right caterer and the right food to serve can be slightly daunting when keeping things like dietary restrictions, the number of guests and a budget in mind.After all, as the years pass, people may forget all about the wedding but they'll hold tight to the memories of the meal.

Here are a few pointers to remember before your big day

Create and stick to a budget

To avoid heartbreak, create and understand a budget before beginning a discourse with your caterer. They'll be honest with you and help you discern what's doable and what's beyond the realm of possibility. Remember if a caterer promises the impossible for cheap, it's either going to end up a disaster…or you'll receive an unpleasant surprise when the bill arrives.

Make the caterer understand your preferences

If you have special dietary needs or restrictions, the time to let your caterer know is as soon as possible. The sooner he knows about your allergy the more gracefully the catering team can work around it.

Conduct the Tasting

Many caterers won't conduct a formal tasting until they've been booked and the contract is signed—this is less a chance for them to woo you than it is for you both to create the menu of your dreams. .

Don't Settle Until You Find the right caterer

Don't settle on the first caterer you meet.Remember you will be working closely with them for months.
