How to Choose a Wedding Caterer
With the winter ending in just a few weeks, and spring quickly approaching, wedding season is almost upon us. Folks love getting married in the springtime because the weather is simply amazing and there is a palpable atmosphere that is so fitting for celebration. The many, many details that accompany planning a wedding can stress not only the bride and groom, but also those close to them. There are the “big things” on the wedding to-do list, though, that once complete can relieve so much stress, such as the dress, the venue, and the caterer, of course. A wedding is often remembered by the food that was served, so choosing a caterer is no easy task. Let’s look at how to go about choosing the perfect wedding caterer.
Budget & Style
The top two factors you will want to determine before choosing a caterer are your budget and your style. No matter the size of your budget, there are numerous incredible options to choose from. It would be helpful to decide what is truly important to you when it comes to your big day. For example, some couples prioritize hiring a videographer, while other couples decide having a video is not as important to them and would like to put that money toward something else. It might be near the top of your list to make sure you serve the best food and drinks and are willing to sacrifice in other areas. You also will want to decide how formal or informal you would like the meal to be. Would you like to have servers attend to each table, or does a buffet line work better logistically? If the food is delicious, guests will be happy either way. Maybe there is a type of cuisine that is special to you that you would like to incorporate into the evening. These details are important to consider before selecting a wedding caterer.
