The advantages of using an experienced catering service

By: jhon cena

Finding a caterer who is totally 100% committed to ensuring the success of your day is of the utmost importance in wedding planning. All the other aspects of wedding planning are essential also, but ask any guest what they remember best about a wedding and the food will definitely be first on the list. Remember, this will be your first meal as a married couple, make sure you can say with conviction that you treated your guests to a first class meal. It is therefore worth spending time, effort and a generous portion of your wedding budget on getting the catering service right?

Experienced caterers will be able to give you access to a wealth of information. They are indeed experts and have the know-how to ensure that not only the service of food but the day itself runs like clockwork. Check firstly if they can provide the meal you want within the budget you have set. Whether or not your budget is tight, ask for a complete breakdown of costs which are involved. Costs will undoubtedly differ with different caterers depending on experience, reputation, quality of products used and services to be provided. In order to compare prices, ensure that you have furnished all the catering companies with the same information. Be careful of extra charges or "hidden extras". If you have already selected a venue, organise a site visit with the caterer so the kitchen and food prep facilities have been inspected. Experienced caterers will only give a confirmed quote subject to a site visit, they will not want to give you an unexpected and nasty bill for hire of generators or ovens or cookers but would rather every detail be clearly discussed from the onset.

Good caterers will be able to recommend staffing for the food service, they will have in-house staff who are experienced and familiar with the operations of the caterer. They will allocate the correct number of staff to each part of the day to serve food and even beverages (if required) efficiently.

Do not be afraid to ask catering companies for advice on venues. They deal with venues day in, day out and may be able to suggest venue options you have not considered. A knowledgeable caterer will also be able to advise you on typical alcohol consumption and volumes of beverages to order. You will also be warned of the dreaded "corkage" fee. A caterer with links to the venue may be able to negotiate with the venue on your behalf to reduce the fee especially if beverages are served complimentary to guests.

An experienced caterer will help you to actually visualise your reception, with suggestions on room layout and table arrangements which are appropriate to your vision of your special day. And when it comes to food - well, a good catering service provider will suggest menus and take your opinions on board to devise a menu which will not only wow your guest but reflect your personalities. Advice will be available on special dietary requirements and even children’s food. Their skill will be apparent in their ability to advise you on everything from timings, staff and parking to entertainment, favours and decor. Years of experience in the wedding industry would have meant becoming expert event planners with tried and trusted contacts for lots of other wedding services.
