Essential Things To Look for When Choosing
Wedding Catering Services
2

• The biggest chunk of your wedding budget will
  probably go to the caterer. Depending on how you
  choose your wedding catering services, youll
  either wind up with rubbery chicken or food that
  tastes so good, guests forget all about the open
  bar and make long queues outside the buffet area.
• The kind of wedding catering service you get
  depends on your selection process. Herein are
  some of the things you should do when choosing
  between different vendors. By the time you are
  through this list, you are guaranteed of
  exemplary wedding catering, and your guests are
  in for a real treat.

3
Ask for Referrals

• Perhaps the easiest way to find a caterer is
  asking for referrals from your wedding
  photographer, friends and family or the venue.
• On the other hand, if you have ever eaten at a
  restaurant and loved their food, check to see if
  they offer catering services. You might be
  pleasantly surprised to learn theyve served
  several weddings in the past.

Look For Catering Services Specialized in Your
Weddings Theme

• If you plan to have a themed wedding, for
  instance, an Italian wedding, an Irish wedding or
  even an Indian wedding, the food should match the
  theme. That calls for a wedding catering service
  who can prepare the right themed dishes. After
  all, you dont want to have an Indian wedding
  where Italian food is served.

5
Budget

• By now you list should be down to a handful of
  wedding caterers. To cut down further, ask each
  one of them how much they are going to charge
  you. Bargaining on the price might seem a bit
  uncalled for, especially on your big day
  everyone wants to get the best service on their
  wedding day but like mentioned earlier, a large
  part of your wedding budget will go to the
  caterers. Therefore, you want to sift through
  vendors by noting who is willing to work within
  your budget.

6
Licensing

• Most reputable catering companies are licensed by
  local authorities to serve food and drinks. A
  license is critical because it tells you the
  caterer meets all the health regulations and has
  insurance should anything go wrong. Also, making
  sure the caterer has a valid license to sell
  prints and other alcoholic beverages means you
  wont find yourself on the wrong side of the law
  on your wedding day, so make sure you ask for an
  alcohol license.
