Amongst the first things that come to mind when planning a wedding reception is the catering. Some important things to consider in making the decision are the following:
- The type of meal service: a sit down meal or a buffet, BBQ, Finger food, Dessert only
- Dish/food selection, Green Salads vs. Fruit Salads or both, Beverages
Even if you ever considered planning and making the food for your wedding yourself, chances are when you started to make the actual plans, you realized you needed professional help. While wedding caterers can be expensive, the amount of stress and worry that they remove form your list of things to do is well worth the price.
What drives a caterer's food cost? When interviewing catering services, and comparing cost, try to match your needs to the caterer's specialty. Any time that you request an item that is not in their typical package, your price begins to climb. The cost of the food they provide you for your wedding directly affect the amount of profit they make. When you add something to the menu that is not in their typical package, they start thinking immediately about the cost of ordering enough of that particular item in order to have the right amount on hand for the guests that choose that item. Of course if cost is no object there are no limits.
You can find a multitude of catering services by googling, but one of the best ways to find a great service is by personal reference. Talk to friends or relatives that have either married recently or attended a wedding reception. Word of mouth is still the best and safest advertising.
