Catering And Weddings
George Meszaros
Hiring a catering service provider is part of your wedding
planning strategy. A caterer generally provides food and
beverages and they have a significant role in your wedding. If
you have experience with caterers, you are at an advantage. But
if you have never taken a caterer into service before, don’t
worry.
Often the wedding reception venue offers catering service, so
you may not need to worry about hiring a caterer. Even if
catering is not offered by the reception venue, they may be
able to suggest one to you. Even if your reception site
manager, recommends a catering service you should still do your
homework. Just like any other wedding vendor, a caterer has to
be able to provide you professional references. Part of your
job is to always contact the references.
Because so much rides on the caterer, make sure the business
is: experienced, reliable, trustworthy, and they provide a
quality product and service. Don’t think that a caterer
recommended by someone if the best possible solution for your
wedding. One caterer may work great for one event, but be
insufficient for others. A caterer may be experienced in
smaller events, but not experienced with events with two
hundred invited guests. One may be experienced with weddings
and another with conventions.
There are two different styles of catering:
Seated Dinner - Seated dinner setting will usually require more
servers than a buffet dinner. Serving the food requires more
staff. With a seated dinner, you need more tables and chairs
for most of the guests will eat at the same time. A seated
dinner offers less flexibility for your guests, because they
usually have a couple of options to choose from. To make it
easier on you and your caterer, menu options ought to be
included with the wedding invitations so your guests can choose
which selection they prefer. The pre-selection process enables
you to work with your caterer on the final count.
Buffet – With this option, you may be able to get away with
less chairs and tables. Buffet gives your guests more options,
and they don’t all have to eat at the same time. A buffet
dinner gives your wedding reception guests more alternatives to
customize their food selection. The buffet requires a smaller
staff, and your guests can pick and choose what they like. In
addition to the clear advantage of a more flexible buffet
dinner, your hungrier guests can go back for seconds. Because
buffet dinners require minimal service staff, you should be
able to save money with this option.
