When should I meet with a Caterer?
At least 6-9 months before the event is ideal. You must be assured of having plenty of time to get references, see some events that they are doing, check their business licenses, ask for their workman's comp and their liability insurance.
How do I Determine the Right Caterer?
The caterer you choose must be knowledgeable about food choices according to the season. The freshest produce money can buy can be found in North County. Ask the caterer if they belong to any associations affiliated with their field where they can experience continuing education to keep up with the fast growing trends in the industry.
How can I Better Understand the Proposal?
Look for any hidden costs. Ask
for line items as much as possible because the devil is in the details in
this business. Establish a payment plan with the caterer that works for
you and your budget. The key here is stay on budget. If you want salmon
but it is too costly to have as an entree, go for salmon mousse or smoked
salmon canap's for your hors
d'oeuvres. Let your caterer help you choose the right menu for your special
day.
