The food you serve is going to be a big part of what your guest will remember. Whether those memories are good or bad depend on several things including the catering and can depend on what guests thought of the food and services provided. The memories made at your event will influence whether or not your supporters return to the next one.

The best way to ensure that everything falls in place is planning in advance. If you are using a venue they may require that you only use certain catering services or even theirs. There are other venues that won’t have restrictions. In either situation it is best that you allow yourself plenty of time to examine your options before making a final choice.
