Here are a few tips on hiring a wedding catering service

Your Idea vs. The Caterers Idea

It is your wedding and your ideas should be followed. But there are wedding catering service providers that may have additional inputs on your idea. This is good since they will be able to adapt to your preferences and provide additional tips that will make the wedding more memorable. On the other hand, there are caterers that might counter your ideas. It might even be possible for some caterers to dismiss your idea as they want to explore what they like. Always be specific with your caterer before agreeing to their services so that you’ll have the wedding of your dreams.

Charges and Hidden Fees

Your wedding catering service is there to help you realize your dream wedding. But they are also there for business which means they will try to earn as much as possible. Ask the caterer on their charges for their food. Understand that a caterer could charge based on the number of heads or they can just bring food based on your estimated guests. There are also other fees that you need to be aware of such as preparation fee, delivery fee (for food and other items) and even clean-up.

The Wedding Cake

The cake is always discussed at weddings and the wedding catering service will be more than happy to provide you the cake for the wedding. It’s important to compare the total fee with and without the cake since there might be cake designers in your city that might offer a competitive rate with a better design. Never allow your caterer to force their ideal design or force you to get the cake as part of the rate.

Food Presentation and Left Over

There are two ways you wedding catering service will serve food on your reception – they might place the food on the table or have the food served buffet style. Choose wisely because each option can come at a different price. You should also discuss on what to do if there are any food left after the reception. As much as possible, ask the caterer if you could bring some or everything home.

Last but not the least, have all these specifications written to make sure you get what you asked for. Read the document including the fine print before signing the contract. It’s a tedious process but essential if you want to have a great wedding reception.
