Catering for your wedding
Food can make or break any function but when it comes to a wedding, food becomes even more important. It is uncanny how people remember events based on the food they have eaten there! “The shrimp was amazing their anniversary bash”, “The meat was undercooked at the corporate dinner”. You may have heard it all.
At your wedding you want the food to be remembered for all the right reasons and that why you have to choose good wedding caterers in Sydney to get the job done.
While you’re out scouting for good wedding caterers in Sydney make sure to check in with your chosen venue. They may have a set list of wedding caterers in Sydney that they work with and may not allow you to bring your own caterer. Even if they don’t have a set list they may be able to help you out with some names and recommendations. So don’t forget to check in with the food and beverage manager of your chosen venue.
Ask you family and friends for their suggestions and recommendations. You will definitely find someone who comes highly recommended within your friend circle.
Once you have a few names of wedding caterers in Sydney give them a buzz and depending on your conversation schedule a tasting session with them. Some caterers may not be available while some may not be economical. This will help you in narrowing down your choice.
At the tasting ask the caterer to give a sample of what you would finally like in the menu. Ask to sample some of their signature dishes as well. Taste something from every course without fail from the appetizers to desert.
Price will be the deciding factor while choosing a wedding caterer in Sydney. Caterers usually charge by the plate. So make sure you have the right per head count while calculating the total cost.
Don’t forget to add transportation cost as well as taxes. Bar handling charges will also be an additional cost. So make sure you take that into consideration as well.
Decide on the type of service, buffet or sit down. This is important for the caterers as a sit down dinner will require more prep time and staff. Be sure to tell the wedding caterer in Sydney what time you want the food to be served so they can evaluate how much time they will need to get everything done.
Reconfirm with your caterers a few weeks before the wedding and make sure they have all the details right.
It’s important that you trust the caterers you have chosen and take a step back and let them do their job. Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best!
