2 . What Does a Caterer Do?

Your caterer can help your wedding, reception or other casual or formal event a success. When considering how to select a caterer, look at many factors. You should consider the nature of the event, how formal it is, what sorts of foods you wish to serve, and how much you can afford to spend. Obviously, you should also consider issues such as how food is transported, who serves the food, and how and where it is prepared. A super bowl party may be very well served by a local caterer specializing in barbeque or casual foods, but your formal wedding is better served by a caterer who favors more elegant dishes. Choosing a caterer is an important decision when planning any catered event, and the food will certainly be remembered long after the day is past, so choose your caterer carefully to ensure a wonderful buffet or meal.

3 . Finding a Caterer

How to select a caterer? The ideal way to find a caterer is via personal recommendation. Ask friends, family and colleagues if they have catered an event, and who they used. Personal recommendations can help you select the right caterer; however, if you are left floundering when selecting a caterer, your local phone book is a viable starting point. Also, wedding fairs, consultants and party planners can make recommendations. If you are planning an event at a reception hall, the facility may offer catering services, or be able to suggest a caterer. Also, if you have a favorite restaurant, ask if they offer catering services or a suggestion of a caterer. When you begin looking for a caterer, look specifically at those that offer the sorts of menus you envision for your event. Interview several caterers to select the one best suited for your wedding, party or reception.

4 . Interviewing Your Caterer

You should interview several caterers before you select the one best for your activity or event. A number of questions can help you as you wonder how to select a caterer for your wedding or party. Request sample menus from caterers before you spend time interviewing them to help weed out caterers that are not suited to your personal needs. Ask who will be in charge of preparing the food, and who will manage the catering of your event. Find out who will serve the food, and if the caterer’s staff is familiar with the reception hall or other facility you are planning to use. Know what state regulations are regarding catering, and find out if the caterer you are interviewing is compliant with them. Finally, your caterers should offer you a tasting of their food, so you can determine both whether you enjoy the style and the quality of their cooking.
