Sydney Caterers Free Wedding Planner

August 1st, 2009

Wedding Planner is bought to you by www.mycaterer.com.au

The following schedule is meant to help you organize the weeks and months before your wedding. You will find that being organized will not only help to save you money, but will significantly reduce the stress and anxiety surrounding your special occasion.

Keep in mind that this schedule is meant as a guide. Those professionals and the locations that have the best reputations are most sought after and tend to be booked early, sometimes even more that a year in advance. So the sooner you can make your decisions and commitments, the better.

Ideally, start a year and a half before your wedding and schedule tasks right down to the last day, and ever thereafter. Work at your own pace, and keep remembering that this is should be fun!

  10. Get a “test” manicure and/or pedicure and/or other beauty services. Then schedule each service for one or before your wedding day.
  11. Pack for your honeymoon.
  12. Design a “day of the Wedding” schedule with times and tasks and share it with the key “players” in your wedding, such as your Maid of Honor and Best Man.

You will find that the months have slipped by, sometimes not quickly enough, sometimes too quickly to savor the precious, special moments. You have planned and interviewed, met and reviewed, asked questions and had them answered.

Now it has all come down to the last few minutes before THE moment of your ceremony arrives. Take an extra big breath and a last push for on organizing, planning and handling the last minute details. Don’t give up now that you’re in the home stretch. You’ll do your last bit of planning “homework” and, no doubt, your ceremony and reception will be seamless as a result of your efforts.

Congratulations. It’s your wedding day!
HERE COMES THE BRIDE . . . right on schedule!

AFTER YOUR WEDDING DAY

  1. Write thank you notes and/or send gifts to the special people who made your wedding “happen.”
  2. Send wedding photo and announcement to the newspaper(s).
  3. Enjoy your honeymoon and your life together.

Finger Food Caterers Sydney

July 8th, 2009
Great parties don’t just happen do they? Even the simplest occasion requires some forethought by the host and hostess. Today many of the more formal occasions and celebrations have moved away from the traditional sit down meal to a cocktail party.

The cocktail party can of course vary between an elegant formal function, requiring the little black cocktail dress and black tie for the boys, to a bright and breezy informal affair with lively music and brightly coloured drinks in the safety of your own backyard! Whatever the occasion the cocktail party is a popular and modern way to entertain.

The first step is to decide what type of party it will be. Is it a special occasion to celebrate a milestone, or a get together to celebrate the springtime or festive season? Consider what sort of decorations will suit the occasion and what sort of music and lighting will be appropriate as well to provide just the right ambiance. Next of course you must decide the when and where. Will it be outside on a balmy night or inside with the fire ablaze! Be practical when you look at the space and consider the number of people the space provided will hold.

The trick to conquering the cocktail party and hosting a successful event is being organised. Start planning early as well as ordering and shopping early for any non perishable items including alcohol. Working in advance means there is less left to the last minute…….reducing stress levels for the host/hostess. You should be able to enjoy the evening yourself and not be a slave to the kitchen or bar!

Now for the food!
The number and types of finger food you serve all depend on the event you are hosting. For a cocktail party, finger food will be the focus, so be sure you have plenty to go around!

Type of Event Number of Appetizers
Cocktail Party:
4 hours
10-12 pieces per person
*You may like to include an extra 1 or 2 sweet offerings if serving coffee.
Dinner Party:
Pre dinner
4 to 5 pieces per person for an early meal
6 per person for a later meal
Variety: 8 different varieties if 50+ people
4 to 5 different varieties for 20+ people
3 different varieties for small gatherings

Some Tips and Shortcuts


Hot or Cold

In my opinion, people prefer hot over cold food at the best of times. I suggest 60/40 in favour of hot food. In the cooler months you may need to add some extra hot food too, a warming soup in little china cups can really hit the spot!.

Don’t attempt to make all the food from scratch. Be kind to yourself and take advantage of some of the good quality finger food, fresh and frozen available in supermarkets and specialty stores. There are some great dips and antipasto items available, these can be included as part of the cold items. Don’t be afraid to have a combination of simple favourites like little pies or pizzas intermingled with the more exotic like rice paper rolls. Remember in a larger crowd tastes can be varied. Don’t forget how important it is to keep tummies full, especially where alcohol is served for obvious reasons!

Cook ahead
Being organised and ahead of yourself means cooking and freezing where you can. Remember though to allow foods to thaw in the refrigerator and not on the kitchen bench.

Get some help!
Don’t attempt to do it all yourself on the night, otherwise you will miss out on all the fun. In fact enlist a mate to help you, or pay someone to take charge of the kitchen on the night. Make a detailed list of all food to be served and accompaniments, the serving platters and the time the food is required. You may also need to consider staff for serving the food as well as someone to man the bar.

Keep Cool
When catering, refrigerator space can be at a premium. The week of the party remove all non essential items from the fridge to allow for an influx of party food. For a larger function consider borrowing a friend’s beer fridge as a back up or maybe even hire a small portable cool room.

Never forget the Food Safety Principles:
For food that is to be served hot, heat the cold food as quickly as possible to 75°C then hold above 60°C. For food to be served cold, ensure the food remains under 5°C.

Hi Jessica,  Mangeress of www.mycaterer.com.au

 

My name is Filippa, and I had the pleasure of using your company to cater my husband’s birthday party on Sunday night.  Can I just start by saying that the professionalism and personal care you have provided to me is something that my husband and I will never forget.  From the time I first spoke to Damien to enquire and then the fabulous taste testing I had with Vesna I was already hooked and knew you were the right people to use.  I was never hassled into making a decision or pushed into deciding on anything until I was ready.  Vesna was very professional on the taste testing day and gave me very helpful pointers on choosing the right option for my party and age group I was catering for.

On the Sunday I had your chef Anna and waitress Jacki attending to my guests.  The food they served was fantastic and fresh.  A big hit on the night was the prawn twist.  I think they would have been happy if you served this all night.  I received so many comments that my party was a success and this was due to having your staff there and give that extra detail that I would not have had the time to do myself.  It was a surprise party for my husband and can I tell you that two days later he is still going on about the service the two girls provided and how happy it made him to have them there so I could relax and actually enjoy myself, which I did. They cleaned up all the mess after themselves and left my kitchen as they found it, which to me shows a great deal of professionalism.

I would definitely recommend you to anyone searching for a great caterer, and a lot of my friends have taken your cards already for future functions.

Thank you so much again for making my party a great success.

Kind Regards,

Filippa Alam.
