Catering

Fabulous food is a must at your wedding reception! After all, not only do you want your guests to be left with great memories about the ceremony, the wedding band, wedding music, and speeches, but also the delicious food and great service.

Be Prepared

Before you meet with potential catering services – whether they are in-house or off-premises – have a think about what is important to you at your wedding reception and make a list of the essential details about your wedding reception like:

  • the time, date, location, theme/style and formality
  • guest total
  • your ideas about desired menu options and service style, and
  • your food and beverage budget.

Having this information handy will make the decision making process a lot easier.

Choosing the right caterer for your wedding reception

There are a lot of caterers out there just waiting to cook up a storm! But, if you want delicious food served with flair and style, pick a professional, and even better, pick one that has been recommended to you by a wedding planner, your wedding venue, or family and friends who have recently experienced excellent food at a wedding reception.

A Restaurant and Catering Australia Gold Licence is an indicator of high professional catering standards. Gold licensing establishes a benchmark in the areas of food preparation, hygiene, and quality. A caterer with this accreditation will also have the appropriate workers compensation, and product and public liability insurance.

It is a good idea to speak to a range of caterers about food and drink packages. There are many options for you to choose from and doing some investigative work will help to make sure that you are getting exactly what you want and at a reasonable price too.

Ask Lots of Questions

When speaking with prospective caterers, don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions. The more you understand, the more likely it is that you will be able to relax and have a memorable wedding reception, knowing that everything has been taken care of. Discuss what you have in mind with your caterer, and tell them your budget. A professional will come back to you with suggestions that are both creative and within your price range.

Enjoy the fruits of your wedding planning!

While you may be too nervous and busy to actually eat at your wedding reception, try to take some time to enjoy the delicious food you have planned. Most importantly, relax and enjoy your celebration knowing that the good decisions you have made about catering will deliver a wedding reception that leaves a delicious flavour in the mouths of all your guests!
