Choosing The Right Caterer

Finding the perfect caterer is an essential part of any  event. Weddings, corporate events, parties and family gatherings are all times when the services of a caterer might be needed. Unfortunately, there is no standardized grading system for caterers and anybody can start their own catering business. Here's how to choose a good caterer so that the food at your event is something palatable. 

‎Listen to Word Of Mouth-

No amount of advertising can replace a good recommendation from somebody you know and trust. If a friend or acquaintance had a great caterer for their Event, then this is a caterer you should talk to for your next big event. Conversely, bad reviews should also be heeded.

‎Schedule a tasting- 

Caterers who provide food for large events should offer to provide you with a tasting, in order to gain your business for a large contract. Keep in mind, however, that this tasting will be the very best product the caterers can produce. There's also often a huge difference in quality between preparing a meal for 2 compared to 500.

‎Consider the caterer Speciality-

Some caterers specialize in larger scale events and have the equipment and expertise to professionally handle larger numbers of guests. Other caterers specialize in smaller intimate events, cocktail parties, or even just delivery of catered food. Be wary of the caterer who claims to be able to do it all, It is important to try a minimun of five (5) Caterers before you finally settle for one after your satisfied with tastings and Quotation!
