Tips For Choosing The Best Catering Services For The Wedding:

Wedding Catering Company

• Catering budget: You can make your wedding as extravagant as you want, but it’s important to stick to a budget to ensure that you get the things going seamlessly. The lavishness of the food spread is decided by your budget, so it’s better to allocate a certain amount for catering. Depending on the final guest count and the menus you want to include, you need to fix up the budget. If you are a complete gourmet foodie, then obviously you need to allocate a bigger budget for catering. You can also allocate a bigger budget for catering and to keep the cost under control, you can allocate a lesser budget on decoration, etc. This is to be kept in mind that, your selected wedding catering company would not generally include the wedding cake as part of the package. Even if they arrange for a wedding cake, there would be a separate cost for the same. If you have got through with a good catering service provider, they will come up with a menu that will fit your budget and match your food spread requirement.
• Wedding menus & themes: Another key aspect that you need to consider before hopping on to different wedding caterer is to choose the right wedding theme. Nowadays people are very conscious about wedding theme and the food has to complement the same. You can do so by contacting the right wedding catering service provider, they will help you choose the right menu that will make your wedding a hit. There can be various choices like buffet style, plated multi-course, classic style or family-style. The late-night snacks & food trucks are quite trendy these days and provide a casual feel.
• Beverages that they serve: Wedding alcohol deserves its own discussion. There are several caterers who offer to serve the booze along with a corkage fee. You need to check with your venue whether you are allowed to bring your own alcohol. If yes, also you necessarily need to check whether they charge a corkage fee or not. In case you are not interested in providing your own alcohol, you necessarily check with your chosen wedding catering company what alcohol can they serve. Some of them allow only wine and beer whereas others also allow liquor.

• Staffs and equipment: Along with the food, the wedding catering company should provide well-trained staffs and equipment as well. You must focus on this aspect well, well-trained staff will help in creating a good impression on the guests. In addition, you also need to check what kind of equipment they will be using, for example, the equipment includes, table linens, silverware, cutlery, cooking appliances, glasses, etc. The wedding caterer should use clean utensils and maintain hygiene while cooking. If there is adequate space in the venue to cook or reheat the food, then you should check with the wedding catering company whether they would take care of the same. You can comfortably ask for the staffs’ photos which would be working and by doing so you can, to a certain extent, determine whether they are neat and professional. When you have the complete guest list, then you need to check with the wedding catering company whether they would be able to accommodate that number of guests comfortably or not. As per thumb rule, there should be a minimum of one staff to serve per table when there is an arrangement of sit down meal.
• Costing: Well, most of the wedding venue provider have their in-house caterer so they will tell you about the package which will include the venue charges along with the catering services. In case you are outsourcing the wedding catering company’s services, then you must take the costing from the shortlisted ones and compare it. Once you find a company which matches your budget and requirement you can proceed.
