Tips for Finding a Wedding Caterer
When it is your special day, everything should be perfect and that includes the delicious, delectable food served. Finding a wedding caterer in Phoenix, or anywhere, can be a constant source of stress, but luckily for you – these tips will help you choose the perfect caterer for your wedding day.
Questions to ask Yourself:
Before you can consider the kind of caterers you would like to have, you need to know a few things:
– What are you willing to spend on your wedding caterer?
– Are you looking to create a certain theme, atmosphere, or feel? (Hint: think French, Italian, warm, cool, winter, spring)
– How many people are coming to your wedding?
– What are the receptionist venue’s rules on food?
Knowing what you want will make it possible to browse caterers with confidence. Search for the caterer that carries the essence of what you want to achieve in your wedding along with the practicality that matches your needs.
Tell Your Wedding Caterer What You Want
Once you’ve found a caterer that you really like (and who has outshone the other contenders) then walk through the preparation of the wedding process with them.
Ask for a sampling of their food and find out the details on price, as well as schedule for the day of the wedding. You will need to know if the caterer will be providing such essentials as dishes, silverware, glasses, napkins and tablecloths. Be sure to ask for references and then check them.
Regardless of which caterer you choose, know that your wedding day should reflect both you and your soon-to-be spouse. Walk through the process together and decide on the food items together. Think of your family and friends when choosing food items to be sure that everyone can enjoy a tasty morsel (Are they vegan? Vegetarian?).
Then sit back, relax, and enjoy!
