If you need a caterer of your wedding or even any event its essential that you find the right catering company which will cater for all your needs. They will need to provide the cuisine, great food presentation and the overall ambiance you want to set. We have made a guide for you for questions to ask any prospective caterer:

1. Does your company specialise in a certain type of food? This can be important if you have anything specific in mind so that you get a caterer which has experience in that area. They should be able to provide you with sample menus to look over to help you make your selections.
2. What’s your price range? Check if the food prices are itemized depending on the food you choose or is it an all-inclusive rate. Also, ask if the cost includes gratuity, taxes or other additional costs?
3. Do you provide table linens, silverware, chairs, tableware, etc for the event? See if they provide those non-food items. If they don’t can they make the arrangements for rentals. If they provide them, ask to see them beforehand to ensure they are acceptable as they are.
4. Who will be your main contact? Ask if the person you work with throughout the planning will be who will oversee meal service on the day of your event (this should be the case).
5. Will you be required handle the table settings? Check if the catering company will set up the place settings and place name cards etc. or if you are in charge of doing this.
6. Do you provide wait staff? Whatever the event, find out how many wait staff they recommend for an event of your size. Most reputable caterers will use their own wait staff even if the site has serving personnel available.
7. Where will the food be provided? Is there on-site facilities or will the caterer need to make additional arrangements? Find out if there is an additional fee if the caterer is required to bring their own equipment.
8. Do you have a valid license and proper insurance? A license ensures the catering company has met health department standards and has liability insurance which protects you in case of an accident. Ask if it includes a liquor license from the state if you plan on serving alcohol.
9. Do you provide drinks? If you want drinks for your wedding contact ontapbeverage.com.au they will make certain every aspect of your event is covered from drinks on arrival to ensuring champagne glasses are filled for toasts and speeches. They are the only beverage wedding caterer recognised and accredited by the Australian Bridal Service who run Australia’s largest wedding exhibition and directory service!!!

Putting together an office party, a birthday party, or even a large event or conference can be a lot of work. The process can easily be overwhelming, especially when trying to do it by yourself. Managing the budget, ensuring that everyone has been invited and that you have a proper head count, and juggling all the details of décor and party food catering can certainly be enough to put too much stress on even the most well organised individual. What follows are a few tips for planning a function that goes smoothly without proving a burden for planners.

Tip # 1- Know when to Seek Help Hiring someone to do all of the serving, decorating, and planning is certainly unnecessary for almost any event, but knowing when you should be seeking help is important. Think of it in terms of what you can reasonably do alone. More than likely, you will find that you can easily hang decorations or that you have friends and colleagues who can assist free of charge. When it comes to cooking and serving cocktails for so many people, however, help can be very welcome. Isolate the tasks that you cannot reasonably do alone and seek help, while putting in your best effort on the rest.

Tip # 2- Give Potential Guests More Options When you sent out invitations, did you use snail mail, company email, or a different method? You will find that standard mail RSVP cards are often lost or tossed away, and guests will fail to respond but still make it to the event. Many employees make last minute decisions when they are unable to get to the company’s email system. Make use of the RSVP and even feature built into Facebook or offer an email address where people can respond while still offering phone or mail RSVPs. The more options you give, the more accurate your estimated head count will be – and the easier the planning!

Tip # 3- Create an Itinerary One of the biggest mistakes that you can make when planning a party is to make the assumption that things will naturally play out to create the perfect event. While your guests don’t need to stick to a rigid schedule, simply laying out a table of food and cranking the music will not likely prove to be the best strategy for success. Plan meal times, dancing, speeches, or whatever aspects you wish to incorporate into your event to ensure that there is always something going on. After a few drinks, your party may turn into a great place for fun and conversation, but ensuring that guests have enough structure to know when it is time to really relax can be helpful.

In truth, planning the perfect party can be simple. There may be dozens of tasks to complete, but with a solid strategy you will find that they can be easily handled. Never feel too proud to ask friends to help, and know when to seek professionals to help. Your party can be a complete success if you simply take the time to ensure that you plan it well.

Our advice would be to let a company like All Suburbs Catering do your party food, finger food, cocktail food or whatever you need to make your party complete.
