Have you finally found the one you said yes to? Congratulations! One of the biggest steps is now to organize the wedding. This often bold process includes many details, including choosing the perfect catering service. Let us guide you through some tips to help you make the right choice.

The Main Criteria of Choice

Choosing a catering service for your wedding is not an act to be taken lightly. To do so, it is necessary to consider several criteria of choice including the services offered and the specialties.

The Services Offered by the Caterer

In addition to the wedding meal, caterers also offer other services.

They will not only find you a reception hall but also make sure to decorate it and offer your guests versatile and perfect menus. To do this, it is best to be direct during the interviews and ask the right questions to get an idea of the caterer’s scope of expertise.

The Specialties Available

This criterion is mainly based on your tastes, your guests, and the message you want to convey on your wedding day. Thus, you can find caterers offering African, Asian, European specialties, etc. Others, even more original, can provide you with organic, halal, or other dishes.

Other Important Criteria

Apart from the above-mentioned criteria, other factors can also influence the choice of the ideal catering service. We can also mention the menu, the budget and the style of the wedding

The menu

Generally, offering any kind of menu to your guests on your wedding day is not appropriate. To maintain a good health, it is necessary to bet on good and varied food. To this end, it is essential to favor foods that promote a consistent nutritional intake. This is the case, for example, with fish or cheese for protein intake and several other foods.

If, on the other hand, you have decided to have a family meal, you can call on a home cook. Here again, you must take into account the opinions of each other so as not to offend their culinary sensibilities. Everything must be taken into account, from the gluten intolerant aunt to the cousin allergic to spices.

The budget

Whether we like it or not, it largely influences our choices. Defining a budget for the wedding meal beforehand is a sine qua non-condition. Although trivial, this act will give you a better orientation and a clear idea of the menu to choose for the occasion. To define it well, you must ask yourself some questions.

• How many guests will be present?
• What is the cost per guest?
• What are the available menus?
• How much do they cost?
• What are the contingencies?

The Theme of the Wedding

The theme of the wedding can also be a factor in selecting the catering service for the wedding reception. If you choose a classic wedding, you must plan a traditional meal with specific arrangements (round tables, seated guests). If, on the other hand, you choose a casual and modern wedding, you can opt for either a cocktail party with pizza or a buffet with several dishes.

• A few tips
• In addition to the different criteria mentioned above that have an impact on the choice of the right catering service, some tips are also important:
• Don’t fail to trust word-of-mouth in your search for a catering service.
• Be sure to ask for a tasting to ensure the quality of the meals served to your guests.
• Submit to an objective interrogation and try to ask for a quotation for a comparative opinion.
