Posted: May 23, 2017 |
Wedding, the most special occasion in every individual's life. The time of life when you hear the distant sound of wedding bells falling on the ears, and you know happiness isn’t far away. The wedding day is indeed an event of a lifetime but it calls for tough situations, when you’ve to take those decision to ensure an economical wedding. The wedding arrangements are really tough to handle, especially the catering. Most of the times, people don’t realize the importance of dedicating time before hiring a caterer and end up making the whole thing a blunder. However, there are certain things to consider before you hire a wedding caterer, and here’s what they are:
No advertising can replace a recommendation from someone you know and can trust. Ask a friend who had a wedding recently in his family about his reviews for the caterer. If he/she sounds convincing, you should contact them and talk about getting an appointment for your wedding as well.
Ask your caterer for a tasting session for the food that will be on his menu for the reception. But, remember there can be a huge difference in the quality of food prepared at the tasting time as compared to the wedding reception menu. Preparing a meal for 2 is very different than preparing a meal for 500 guests at the wedding.
Many of the caterers are competent enough to manage large-scale events and have the experienced and professional team to handle guests in such huge amount, while some caterers are good in organizing small-scale events. Beware of the catering service that assures you to provide excellent service for the wedding, there might be chances that he does not meet your expectations.
Ask your caterer if he is going to provide you the entire service starting from table decoration to providing food. Some caterers just provide you the food while others provide fully trained staff and supporting management team. Ask your caterer if the waiters come from a temporary agency or are they employees of the catering service team. If your caterer says they are from a temporary agency, it simply means the caterer is not competent enough to handle big events.
The food for the wedding costs about 50% of the total expenditure in the wedding. Make sure you get what you pay for. Ask about the quotation for the entire event. Keep in mind, if your caterer drops the price he is also going to drop the quality of the food that is going to be served. The conclusion: Your wedding is the best moment of your life. Make sure you do not serve your guests with just some ordinary menu. Visit and talk to a couple of caterers and then decide which one you want to go for.
