Finding the perfect wedding caterer is a very important step in planning your big day. After all, no one wants to be left with a bad taste in their mouth after the wedding. For many couples, the food is their favorite part of wedding planning. However, there are some unwritten rules that your wedding catering company would like you to keep in mind. Here's what you need to know.
1. Feed Your Vendors
One of the most important things to remember is to feed your vendors. Chances are, they will be working hard throughout the entire event to make your day special. Your first thought may be that they are working and no one provides you with food at work. However, they are often required to be at your event for hours on end with no way to grab fast food or unpack a lunch box. If you don't feed them as a common courtesy, they won't eat at all.
2. Offer a Vegetarian Choice
It's always nice to offer vegetarian options when it comes to food choices at an event. Make sure you discuss this option with your wedding catering company before deciding what dishes will be served at the wedding reception. It doesn't have to be complicated. Something as simple as grilled vegetables with pasta can do the trick.
3. Consider a Kid-Friendly Meal Option
If there will be children attending your wedding reception, consider them when selecting menu items from your caterer. Offering a kid-friendly meal option such as mini pizza or macaroni and cheese can help make kids feel welcomed and included in the celebration. More importantly, the parents won't have to endure the stress of trying to con their kids into eating poulet en croûte at the risk of a temper tantrum and a ruined evening.
Bonus Tip: The cake can be optional. Yes, optional.
Gone are the days when the happy couple cuts a 17-million-tiered cake with a saber and shoves it into each other's faces. Instead, modern couples are opting for more creative (and less messy) dessert selections like a trio of their favorite treats served on a long, rectangular plate, a self-serve ice cream bar with all the toppings, or even a simple offering of warm cookies and milk.
From ensuring everyone is well-fed to getting creative with your dessert choice, your wedding catering company can help you ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience at your wedding reception.
