Catering for your wedding can be very costly. The larger your guest list is the more expensive it gets. Because catering can be expensive most couples want to get the most value for their money.
Here are 5 secrets every couple needs to know to get high quality catering at an affordable price.
#1 Hidden Fees
Many catering services may have some hidden fees in their price. An example of this is the very common cake cutting fee. This is where they charge a fee for cutting the cake. Make sure that all of these hidden fees are known ahead of time. Simply ask them if there are any other fees that you should know about. It is possible to have some of these reduced or negotiate to have them thrown out.
#2 Comparing Caterers
One of hardest parts of selecting a catering service is their offer. This is due to the options that are often available to you. For example, a wedding located at a hotel may offer you a very compelling package. They may give you catering, a place to stay for the night, a discount of rooms for your guests, a bar, and hold the entire reception and ceremony for you at one price. Your going to have to evaluate things based on what your needs are and budget.
#3 Can You Customize The Menu?
When you check with different caterers your going to have to review their menus. Do they have what you want? Can you make changes to the menu? Will they design the menu based on what you want? Some catering services are very strict about what they offer.
#4 Setup And Cleanup
You need to ask each caterer that you interview what sort of services they provide when it comes to setup and cleanup. Different caterers provide different things and at different prices. You need to find out how this can effect the price ahead of time.
#5 What Do They Provide?
