Choosing the Right Wedding Caterer
This guide to wedding catering will help you decide what kind of catering you would
like for your wedding, and how to decide which catering company to choose for your big day.
First of all, you want to think about the formality of your wedding. The level of formality for your wedding ceremony should match the formality of the catering at the reception. This means that if you have a relaxed, outdoor wedding, your catering services should be relaxed as well. Often, at less formal weddings, catering consists of snack foods and treats rather than a meal. On the other hand, if your wedding ceremony is very formal, you should probably serve a meal for your guests. This is more common in evening weddings and more formal ceremonies. Another thing to think about when choosing your wedding caterer is the cost. Catering can sometimes be an expensive ordeal, and you want to make sure that your catering services will fit your budget. If you have a more formal wedding with a formal catering service, remember that you often have to pay extra for servers during the meals. This will most likely include hourly wages plus tips for every staff member required to serve your guests. Often, this will be explained to you by the caterers, but always ask just to make sure. Alcohol is another big expense at many weddings. Choosing to provide an open bar may be very expensive. You may choose to have guests pay for their own drinks, or you may offer an open bar which adds extra money to your tab. Remember that it is okay to have guests pay for their drinks. This is just an important decision that you will have to make based on your wedding budget, and is something to consider when planning your wedding reception. Also, remember that more formal
wedding receptions are usually much more expensive than informal ones. Snack foods can often be purchased at lower rates and require less staff for serving than full meal services.
While you do want to keep costs low, you also want to make sure that your
wedding caterer will provide high quality service for your reception. Shop around with several caterers before deciding on who you wish to provide your wedding catering services. Ask your friends who they would use, and look into as many options as possible. While some services may be less expensive than others, you do not want to sacrifice quality for cost. This is an important event, and you want to make it as special as possible. Read contracts carefully and ask lots of questions to ensure that you get the best catering service for the best possible price.
