A good, professional caterer will deliver an excellent meal and impeccable service within the specifications of your contract and budget, all while sharing your enthusiasm for pleasing each guest.
Simplify catering by following these tips:
Professional Service: When selecting your caterer, there is no substitute for professionalism and experience. Extremely attentive service for a sit-down meal or cocktail party would require one server for every 10 guests; service is still quite good with one server for every 15 to 20 guests; the number is significantly less for a buffet. Your caterer can make suggestions for the best service style and the appropriate number of servers for your budget.
A Meal to Remember: To ensure a quality meal, schedule a private sampling with the chef who will prepare your wedding meal. Your enjoyment there will be the measure of your guests’ enjoyment at the reception.
Catering Budget: To determine the catering budget, decide how much to spend per guest. Multiply that dollar amount by the number of guests expected and add an additional 10 percent to cover overage, approximately 17 to 20 percent for gratuities, and your local applicable taxes.
Down to Details: Thoroughly examine your written contract, which should clearly state: dates, costs, when deposits are due, the food and beverages to be served, the number of servers needed, and any other details the caterer will provide. Carefully review postponement and cancellation policies. If you have any questions or concerns, openly discuss them with your caterer before signing.
