Unfortunately, wedding planning is a time consuming and stressful endeavour. Not the least stressful aspect of this planning is determining how you are going to feed your guests. So, it is important to keep a few things in mind when picking a wedding caterer in Sydney.
Here are some expert tips to help you make the most of your wedding catering.
Step 1: Determine Your Parameters
It all starts with what you want out of the caterer. Are you doing a full meal or just hors d’oeuvres (finger foods)? What type of cuisine would you like to feature (Comfort food, Mexican, Italian, etc.)? How many people are going to be in attendance? What is your budget (either per person or overall)? Will there be a desert? This does not mean that you have to lock yourself into a decision before even choosing a caterer, but having some concept of what your specifications are will make choosing the right wedding caterer in Sydney much easier as different caterers specialise in different areas.
Step2: Do Your Research
Picking the right caterer involves more than just clicking on the first result that shows up in Google. Make sure the caterer you are looking at meets the specifications you set forth in Step 1. In addition, schedule a tasting with prospects (this part is actually fun) so that you can sample their cooking and make sure that they are able to meet your demands. Ask questions that are pertinent to your situation. And any decent caterer will have questions for you as well. It also never hurts to ask for references to check on their wedding day reliability. They could provide the best cooking in the world, but it would not matter one iota if they have a spotty record for delivery on the important day.
Step 3: Follow Up
Many couples will simply hire a wedding caterer in Sydney and call the process finished until the wedding day. While that may work out in the end, it is much prudent to follow up and stay in touch with the caterer at least once a month leading up the wedding. You do not have to go through the whole selection process again, just occasionally give your caterer a call and say, “Hi, I just wanted to make sure everything is still good to go for our date. Do you have any questions for me that would help in the process?” And that is that.
By following the above-mentioned tips, you can easily make the most of your wedding catering.
