Your wedding day is bound to be one of the happiest days of your life, and with high-quality wedding catering, it can also be one of the yummiest. We all know that one of the highlights of any event is the food and that is no less true at a wedding. Guests will undoubtedly be there to celebrate the union of the happy couple, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t thank them for coming with delicious food. So how do you choose the best caterer for your wedding? We’ve compiled a list of four tips to help you find your dream caterer.

  1. Schedule a Tasting: A tasting not only allows you to taste the food and find the best options for your event but it also allows you to meet in person with the caterer. Scheduling a tasting allows you to see the service you can expect at your wedding, customize the menu for your special day, and build a relationship with your caterer. Plus, who doesn’t love sampling delicious food?
  2. Select Your Service Package: Plated, food stations, family-style or buffet? Are beverage services available? Do you offer the waitstaff? These are a few questions you might want to ask your caterer about their service options. Chatting with your caterer will help you to understand exactly what type of service you need for your wedding and will allow you to relax and enjoy your big day knowing that everything is taken care of.
  3. Booking Notice: Quality caterers can be booked out months in advance, so it is important to know how far ahead you need to book. If you think you might be interested in a caterer, but don’t have a date set yet, give them a call and see how far in advance they typically recommend booking.
  4. Ask About Popular Dishes: When choosing your menu, it’s always smart to get your caterer’s advice on what dishes people rave about. Selecting a few of their most popular dishes along with your favorites from the tasting will ensure that everyone will be satisfied.
