Finding the right wedding caterer is an essential part of any wedding day. You won’t want to take this job on yourself unless you’ve had practice and you’re prepared to be stressed out. The following pointers will help you to pick the perfect caterer for your big day:
Ask Friends and Family for Recommendations
If you know anybody who recently had their big day or you think they might have connections, ask friends and family for recommendations. They might be able to point you in the right direction of a great wedding caterer, and you trust the opinions of people you love. It’s worth asking just to be sure! You might even be able to get a special discount if you are recommended by a friend.
Read Reviews Online
Read reviews online of potential wedding caterers to see what you could be working with. These reviews could be impartial reviews, but bear in mind that no caterer will usually have a 100% positive review back catalogue. They can’t please every single person in every single aspect, so bear that in mind and don’t expect the earth. You must be realistic to have the best wedding day.
Ask Important Questions
Ask a potential caterer important questions to decide whether they are for you or not. Ask them what sort of food they serve, the different options you can have, and any extra services you could have. Write a list of questions so you know exactly what to ask.
Check Out Their Portfolio
Check out their portfolio to see weddings they’ve catered for. This will be some of their best wedding catering work examples, so you can see what your big day could look like with them. Be suspicious if for whatever reason they cannot show you a portfolio or point you in the direction of a happy customer.
Double Check They are Free for Your Big Day
If you know the date, you’ll save a lot of time by asking if they are free on your big day. You don’t want to go through everything with them only to find out you can’t have them in the end anyway. It should be one of the first questions you ask them.
Meet in Person
You don’t need to become best friends with this person, but you should meet them in person to get an idea of what they’ll be like to work with. You need to be able to work with them effectively to make your wedding day a success.
Use these tips and you should be able to find the perfect wedding caterer for your big day. If you want to do it yourself, it’s possible, but you’ll need to do a ton of planning in advance. You’ll be much more stressed out too, and you won’t be able to do it alone. Investing in a caterer is money well spent and you’ll be able to relax on your big day.
