What You Should Know Before Choosing a Caterer or Event Planner
- Do the other caterers use fresh food and produce? Will they use frozen or canned foods?
The best caterers make everything from scratch.
- Do other caterers charge you for broken or lost china?
Things do get broken or lost at every event. Make sure you are not charged extra after the event.
- What will the ratio between wait staff to guests be?
When comparing caterers, always look at the number of wait staff to figure out if you are comparing apples to apples. Great service is what guests always remember.
- Do other event companies have a dedicated events team with specialists in all areas of design and execution?
The best caterers and event companies are trained to handle event emergencies or last minute changes. From extra trucks to additional inventory of equipment – they can always deliver.
- What will the service staff be wearing? Updated and trendy or outdated and staid?
Polished and expertly trained wait staff can make or break any event.
- How many events do the other caterers do in a weekend?
It is important to make sure that your event has a dedicated staff and not split between several events. You want a staff that will make sure your event is the only one that matters.
- Do the other caterers have an on-staff Pastry Chef?
Many caterers use frozen desserts and cakes with less the quality ingredients. Guests often judge the meal on the desserts - only the freshest and homemade will do.
- Can other event companies plan every detail with precision and flair?
Many caterers claim to be event planners, but they don’t have the experience with events of all sizes and scopes.
- Are you choosing your caterer by price alone?
Never choose a caterer on price. The lower the price the less value you really get and the less food you will get. Ask your caterer if they bring added value to the table, or nickel and dime you with portion size and add-ons.
- Is the catering company a restaurant caterer or a full time dedicated Events Company?
Many restaurants cater and can give you a great meal one at a time at their location. It’s a whole different ballgame when it comes to cooking, preparing and servicing a large amount of guests in the field. It takes a specially trained kitchen to execute white tablecloth dining on location.
