CATERING
If your venue comes with a caterer or if you’re using an outside caterer, meet with the person
who will be providing food for your wedding. Talk with them about your wedding plans, sample
some of the dishes they recommend, and get comfortable that this caterer will truly treat your
guests well. Most caterers will offer a few selections for you to try to get an idea of what they
recommend for your event. This tasting is definitely on our list of our favorite things about
planning a wedding.
A buffet dinner is most likely going to be the most economic way to serve all your wedding
guests a good meal without blowing your budget. Interactive food stations set up around the
reception room are a trend with weddings right now. These stations are usually hosted by a
chef or member of the catering staff to help your guests customize their selections. Having
these stations spread out keeps down the line of guests waiting for food. However, one of the
quickest ways your catering bill can add up is for the labor your catering company provides to
the event. Take a close look at how many servers, chefs, or other staff they have allocated to
your event on the invoice, and ask your caterer if there’s any way to cut down those costs. It
can be as simple as opting for stationary instead of tray-passed appetizers.

Be sure that you and your new spouse take the time to eat during the
reception! You’ve got a night full of dancing and merriment ahead of you so
you’re going to need the food!
