Planning your wedding is stressful, chaotic and one of the most demanding tasks you will ever do. That is, if you want it to be spotless.
Nonetheless, it’s your most important day. So, it has to be perfect.
Ordering the right catering service is the best way to ensure this happens. After all, a great food service always saves little “organizing mistakes” here and there for your guests.
But how can you avoid a disaster?
Catering in a Wedding: What to be aware of
Most catering services are “ok”. You don’t want that. If your vendor doesn’t offer 5-star catering services, then your wedding day will not be “the most important day” in your life, but another big event.
So, everything hangs on the details. There are a few things that can make your catering go from “ok” to “perfect”.
Ensuring Great Catering Food Services
Half of the event is about food.
So, you must ensure your vendor foresees any food shortages, allergies or dietary choices. Food shortages, or delay in delivering extra food, is a reason to ruin the mood of the event. It’s more about accommodating pleased guests that want more of your food, than having underestimated the portion sizes. More guests than planned or larger portions than expected should be possibilities that are covered through a backup plan by your catering service provider.
Another food-related disaster you should foresee is encountering allergies or dietary choices. Sure, you may know the culinary choices of your loved ones and close friends, but it’s impossible to cover these needs for all your guests. So, add that also to your catering vendor’s backup plan. It’s a shame attending a wedding and not being able to eat or even worse, endangering your life in the process.
Picking Appropriate Service Staff
When you pick your catering provider, you should also ensure that the staff accompanying the food at your event will boost rather than hinder the wedding’s happiness. Even if the food is exquisite, a rude comment, misery on the staff’s faces or slow service will ruin the mood sooner or later.
Avoid that by getting to know the people that will serve at your event, ensure that the staff will be sufficient (in numbers) so that exhaustion will not lead them to irritation, and reward them for their good service.
Happy and polite staff will spread their joy even to the most miserable of your guests.
Avoiding Inappropriate Timing
Every event, party or special occasion is crowned successful by making the right choices at the right time. So, timing is everything when it’s about catering in a wedding. Your catering service provider should inspire punctuality, attention to detail and goodwill to elevate your event.
Ensure that you communicated the event’s timetable correctly to your vendor to avoid food being served too early or late or disrupting the schedule you made with other vendors like the wedding planner, DJ or photographer.
Wedding Catering Cost
The wedding catering cost varies from one catering service provider to another. However, there are some signs that discern an affordable catering from a ludicrous one.
The first is customizability. Seek catering companies that offer choices of buffet or plates, customizable menus or catering packages. Customizing the menu to your needs will save you a significant portion of your budget.
Another good sign for budget-friendly catering is confirming they use seasonal and local ingredients. Avoiding exotic dishes that use imported ingredients will significantly reduce the cost, while also providing fresh dishes and a more traditional touch to your event.
With the above recommendations, you are ready to cut down on your wedding catering cost and enjoy your event with no worries!
