How to Get a Wedding Catered

Published May 18th, 2020 by Chef's Catering

If you want people to show up to anything, providing delicious food is a must. This is true regarding weddings as well. Deciding who will provide the food and drinks at your wedding bash is a major decision. Therefore, it is important for you to know how to get a wedding catered. You may be going through this process for the first time, so there are a few important points for you to keep in mind.

Ask About Experience

One of the first questions that you should ask any catering service is about their experience. Pulling off a wedding is a tall order and it is important for you to put your vendors in the best position to be successful. Therefore, ask the catering service about how many weddings they do per year. In addition, ask how many years they have been in business. This will give you a good feel for just how experienced the wedding catering service is. The more weddings they have done, the better.

Ask About The Location

The location plays a major role in how a wedding catering service is going to deploy the food and drinks. Therefore, ask the caterers if they have done any weddings at your specific location in the past. They might have some helpful tips that will make serving food and drinks easier. In addition, they can also help you find a location if you don’t yet have one picked out. If the catering service is flexible when it comes to the location, this is a good sign.

Ask About the Menu

Of course, the quality of food and drinks is the most important factor. The service should give you the opportunity to sample some of their food and drinks before you set the menu. Ask for recommendations given the budget, the option to create a custom menu, where their meat and produce comes from, and if they can help you handle the necessary permits. An experienced wedding caterer might even be able to help you find some other vendors with referrals to specialty lighting services, even design planners, equipment rentals, and more!

Once all of this is done, you can ask the service to help you draw up a contract. Some wedding catering services charge per person while others will charge a flat fee. Some services might even provide a flexible payment plan. Then, all that is left is to confirm the date!
