2 . Planning a Wedding Reception in Florida

You probably realized you needed to start looking for wedding caterers when you started to plan your wedding reception in Florida. Even if you were at one time considering planning and making the food for your wedding yourself or having a close friend or relative do it for you, chances are when you started to make the actual plans, you realized you needed professional help. While wedding caterers are a big expense, the amount of stress and worry that they save is well worth any monetary cost.

Before you can start shopping for Florida caterers, you must plan some details about your wedding reception. First, decide whether you want a full meal at your reception, or just wedding cake and snacks. The answer to this question will depend a lot on the time of day you wed. If your wedding coincides with a major mealtime, your guests are going to expect a meal at your reception.

Next, as a couple you need to determine how many people are probably going to attend your reception in Florida. This requires deciding whether you are going to open the reception to all who attend your wedding, or just select individuals. Some couples, for example, open receptions for adults only. Others have small receptions right after the wedding for all in attendance, with larger receptions for family and close friends later that evening. Once you have made these determinations, then you need to budget for your reception.

3 . How Much Will a Caterer in Florida Cost?

The question of how much a caterer will cost is on the forefront of many couples’ minds. Weddings in Florida are expensive, and typically the bride’s family pays most of the expenses, including the reception costs. In today’s modern world, many couples are using their combined resources to pay for most aspects of the wedding. No matter who ends up with the bill, knowing how much wedding caterers cost is important aspect of the budgeting process.

In order to understand how wedding caterers charge for their services, you must first understand how they think. What drives a caterer’s decisions is food cost. The cost of the food they provide you for your wedding directly affects the amount of profit they make. When you add something to the menu that is not in their typical package, they start thinking immediately about the cost of ordering enough of that particular item in order to have the right amount on hand for the guests that choose that item.

If you are planning to serve a full meal with salad, appetizers, main dish, and dessert, as well as having a traditional wedding cake and drinks, your wedding reception catering can cost up to half of the total cost of the wedding. Be prepared to pay a bit for catering services, as elegant food is expensive. Costs will vary by location, so the best way to determine the costs for your particular wedding reception needs is to interview several caterers in the area where you plan to be wed.

4 . What to Ask when Interviewing Caterers

Interviewing wedding caterers is a complete waste of time if you do not know what to ask. Remember, each caterer you talk to is a professional, and they expect you to have plenty of questions. Have an idea in mind of the menu you may want to serve, because this will make the interview process go quickly.

Choose around four Florida caterers to interview at the beginning of the process. You can talk to friends about their caterers to get ideas for potential candidates. Once you have scheduled the interview, ask for references from each wedding catering company in Florida. Do not be afraid to call a couple of the brides the caterer gives you as references and find out what they thought of the service and food.

The fun part about interviewing potential companies to cater your wedding is the samples! Wedding catering services expect to bring samples to interviews, so feel free to request them. Ask them if you can sample their premier dish, as well as their most popular dessert. While you may not choose these items, knowing what their best dish is helps you know the quality of their work. Also, sampling the favorite of their customers might open your eyes to a food you had not considered for your wedding.

Ask to see pictures of past events. Food for a wedding reception needs to be tasty and attractive. Part of the job of a wedding caterer is to present the food in a beautiful way. Pictures are the best way to determine if the caterer is doing his job properly.
