When it comes to planning your reception one of the more stressful things that needs to be taken care of is what food to have and finding someone who can provide you with it at a reasonable cost. When trying to find the right caterer you need to make sure that you come to them with the right questions. Below are a list of important questions that must be asked to any caterer.
• Do you cater full-time?
• Do you have any formal training?
• How long have you been a caterer?
• What is the ratio of staff to guests?
• What equipment do you provide?
• Are there extra charges for buffet servers, champagne toast, having you make the cake, cake cutting, bartenders, etc.?
The answers that they provide will give you an idea how experienced they are, how well they are liked by others, and whether or not you can truly afford them.
When you do choose the right caterer make sure that you go over with them exactly what you want, how you want it to look like, and how you want it to be set up. Or you can always allow them to decide some of this for you – which will leave a little less for you to have to worry about.
