Perhaps the most important thing that you will need to remember when planning your big day is the catering. It is because the food on offer will be one of the most memorable part of your reception for any of your guests. The best companies may be booked up a year in advance, so it is would be wise to find one as soon as possible. A simple time line for finding a caterer is to start looking for one at 10 months before the wedding. Ensure that you have booked one by about 8 months, and decided on the menu by 6 months before the event.
The best caterers do more that you might expect. They have the necessary training in food selection and preparation, staging a reception,serving and cleaning up afterwards. Some go as far as to decorate for you, hire bartenders, and provide the wedding cake. Some catering companies may only be interested in providing the food and clearing up afterwards.
If, like me you are searching for private catering in Brighton, keep in mind these things:
- Find a privatecaterering company with a good reputation whose food you can sample before signing a contract.
- Interview as many companies as possible to ensure that you find the most suitable for your wedding. The best catering firms will supply phone numbers of satisfied customers to use as a reference.
- There are many reception sites that offer their own catering services, so when considering a venue ensure that the catering and the atmosphere will be acceptable for your needs.
- Check to see that the cater will cover for the following: electricity, lighting, tents, tables, linens, chairs etc, and not just the meal.
Many people forget about the cost of drinks when planning for a caterer. This can really send the price rocketing depending on what you want to serve for drinks:
