Tips for Choosing
the Best Caterer
Every bride wants to be a good hostess and provide
enough tasty food and drink to keep their guests in
good spirits. Therefore, the most critical decision you
will make for your wedding is the caterer. They can
make your wedding reception a dream or a nightmare.
A good caterer can easily handle the preparation,
service and clean up of the meal seamlessly. Many
caterers also provide the rentals such as linens, dishes,
and even tables and chairs as a service to their brides.
Some even provide bartenders and cut and serve
the cake. This one stop shopping experience can be
valuable on saving time and money.
First, contact your venue for a list of approved caterers.
Some venues require you to use one on the list. Ask
who they recommend. If your venue does allow
outside caterers, begin asking for recommendations
from friends and family. If you use a caterer that has
never worked at that venue before, request a list of the
requirements they have to meet in order to work on
their property.
Don’t sign on the dotted line until you have had a
tasting. Once you have found one that makes your
tastebuds happy, ask these 8 questions to finalize the
details.
