Tips To Hiring A Wedding Caterer

Hi, my name is Frank Juliano, Sales & Marketing Director at Catering Creations in Marlton, NJ.  I’m here today to share a few wedding planning tips on how to find the best caterer for your budget.

Out of all the crucial factors that go into planning a wedding, one of the most important is the food.  Every bride has her list of what is more significant than the other, and 80% of the time they want to impress the guests with fabulous food.    

The problem is finding a caterer that offers great food, great service and great pricing.  You want to find a caterer that is flexible; that can cater to any facility, back yard, tent or open area, which alone can save you a tremendous amount of money.   

It is also important to find a caterer that offers a wide variety of food that is delicious but inexpensive.  For example, Creations Catering has a section on their menu called the “Cocktail Buffet”.  This buffet has over eighteen different kinds of hors’ dourves to chose from that can be displayed beautifully during your cocktail hour, as well as the reception.   Many buffets, such as this option, come in small or large presentations instead of being priced per person.  Therefore, you actually get more food for less money.  Also, when you choose this type of buffet, food servers are not needed, which in turn will save you even more money.    

On top of the hors’ dourves, try to find a caterer that offers a variety of delicious dinner entrees (make sure to do a tasting!) and that is willing to work around your wedding budget.  Some affordable dinner entrees include Lemon Chicken or Veal Marsala.  To help with your budget, make sure that the caterer includes a salad and a side(s) such as rice or a potatoe with the cost of each entrée.

 Happy Planning & Happy Eating!
