What to Look for in an Event Caterer

No event is complete without having some food present. For your next event or get-together, think about catering. Here are some tips on what to look for in a caterer.

Reputation

The first thing to do is see if they have online reviews or even just go to their website. If you call and leave a message or fill out their contact form, see how long they take to respond. This will also show you responsibility.

Quality of the Food and Presentation

After you have narrowed it down to a few, set up a time to meet with them. Most should have samples of what they have to offer. Even if it is not something you would normally order, it will give you the chance to try their cooking.

The Meeting

Meeting with the caterer will also give you a chance to ask all of the questions you have. You might want a serving staff, a bartender or help with the setup and cleanup. They might even be able to recommend other services like entertainment and decorations. Other companies that are willing to work with them helps their reputation.

Dietary Needs

There are many people out there with dietary restrictions. Having a caterer with a menu will help you try to be able to please everyone. This is especially true for people with food allergies. Most caterers will have other options that they can create from the menu variations.

Budget

This is an important one. See if they fit into your budget. If they are out of your budget to begin with, don’t waste your time. Ask to see their menus or see if they are online. This will influence your decision.
