TOP FOUR TIPS FOR PICKING THE PERFECT WEDDING CATERER 1 Begin by searching for companies with a proven track record of bringing visions to life. Hop online and search for local providers, browsing their websites and social media to get a feel for their style, services, and past work. Be sure to read reviews to learn about other couples’ experiences with their service. Check whether the team can provide food throughout the day and accommodate dietary requirements. It’s also a good idea to ask your venue for recommendations. Choosing a company that’s not only reliable but also familiar with the venue layout and logistics can give you valuable peace of mind. 2 Always schedule a tasting session to meet the team and sample their work, ensuring it aligns with your wedding vision. Think of it as a mini interview and a sneak peek of your special day. You’ll get to experience the freshness of the ingredients, explore how customizable the menu is, and see if the presentation matches your style. 3 Request a detailed quote that clearly outlines everything included to avoid any hidden costs later on. Some companies provide just the food, while others offer full-service packages that include setup, waitstaff, linens, rentals, and cleanup. Be sure to ask about any additional fees, such as service charges, gratuity, or travel expenses. 4 Delicious food is essential, but exceptional service and clear communication are just as important. Catering plays a major role in your wedding, so it’s crucial to work with a team that’s responsive, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Look for a caterer who’s willing to collaborate with you to bring your vision to life and who provides a clear point of contact throughout the process. Be cautious of vendors who give vague answers, lack a defined timeline, or have unclear roles within their team — these can be red flags. unsplash.com@karibjorn unsplash.com@victoriakosmo CATERING 85
