Perfect Food for the Perfect Wedding

January 4, 2008 | By Bob In Wedding Food |

Your guests will remember the food from your wedding, whether it was great or nasty! And it will be part of the memory of your wedding day. Good planning and a little work will insure that it is a good experience that adds to your wedding day, without sending you to the “poor house”.

If you are on a tight budget, consider the time of day. If it is an earlier wedding your guests will not be expecting a big meal. I have been to weddings where a brunch was served and they were quite impressive!

Also, if you have friends who are willing to help (and able), that could save you some money. And close friends are usually more than willing to help. Also you may look for someone who is starting out and may work for a lower cost. Just make sure that they have some references.

Catering is a big business and the competition is good for you. If you have the money, you can really make your big day impressive. There are many areas that they can shine. Taste, uniforms and food presentation to name a few.

Also, if you have your reception location picked, they may offer a food service. If not, they have probably worked with caterers and can help with recommendations.

Buffet Make sure that you have an idea of about how many guests you will have and a general idea of what type of meal you will be looking for before you start getting quotes. I would also have a backup plan, just in case you get sticker shock!

And of course if you are having a theme wedding, you should stay with the theme, which will reduce your choices. It could also eliminate some caterers, depending upon your theme.

Here again, you must do the proper planning to make your wedding day “The Best Day of Your Life!”
