Getting Down To Basics with Events
Getting A Wedding Catering Company
Whenever there is a wedding, it is considered to be a time to reconnect with friends and family to celebrate. Finding a good wedding caterer is a key factor during the wedding planning process. Regardless of where the wedding function is, a catering company should be able to offer their services. A wedding catering company should be aware of where the function is to be held to enable them to do proper planning. Some catering companies have reservations on the location or even the certain number of guests they can cater to. It is therefore important that you understand the flexibility of the catering company that you hire and to know if they can deliver what you require.
Look For A Catering Company That Meets Your Needs
For efficiency and effective services a catering company should be present in the venue. There are additional costs that may arise from caterers if they have to travel far distances to get to the venue. Confirmation of the ability to travel to at the specified location by the catering company is important.
Understand the policy of the wedding venue
Some wedding venues do not permit wedding caters to provide catering services as they have their own catering services available for hire. Since different venues have different rules, wedding planners can check whether the catering option provided by the venue owners is up to their standards.
Know What The Catering Services Offer
Some catering companies offer a variety of food options where the wedding planner can choose from. It is important for wedding planners to cross check the food that will be served in the wedding. A wedding planner should be able to fulfill the customers’ needs and the wedding planner should ascertain this. A wedding planner should be able to ask whether the final catering budget is inclusive of both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Some catering companies do not allow the supply of alcoholic drinks and wedding planners should be aware of that. Confirming the mode of payment of the drinks is important.
A wedding caterer should not be rigid
Wedding planners should look out for caterers who are not rigid when it comes to changing the menu. Depending on a specific couple, the menu needs will vary from one couple to another. Wedding planners will at times request special meals for guests with different dietary needs. If the catering company is not providing the cake, it should recommend the wedding planner to a suitable baker. Confirming the booking of the specific wedding caterer early will enable the wedding planner to get the peace of mind they need before the wedding. Confirmation of payment terms by the wedding caterer should be an important item on the wedding planning checklist to avoid any inconveniences.
