Good catering is essential to achieve a successful and memorable wedding event. If the guests are satisfied with the quality of the food, they will definitely enjoy the wedding much more, which will create a livelier atmosphere.
For this reason, if you are thinking about holding your wedding party in a New York venue that does not have a restaurant service, it is best that you hire a professional caterer. However, finding the right caterer for you may not be easy since there are many caterers in New York city. To help you in your search, below are a few factors to take into consideration.
Set your budget
Before you start getting in touch with caterers, establish how much money you are willing to spend. Thinking in advance how much you want to invest in food and drink will not only help you to know what type of catering you can afford, but it will also be of great help when the different providers tell you what they can offer you for your budget.
Ask for referrals
If your chosen venue does not have a restaurant service, ask restaurant or hotel managers to provide you with the contact details of good catering companies they have previously worked with.
If you do not like their recommendations or already have agreed to work with a certain caterer and want to use their premises, ask the restaurant manager what requirements your caterer must meet.
Compare quotations
Ask different NYC catering providers for quotes to allow to compare prices, types of services and menu options. Make sure to explain in detail the type of catering you want, the style of wedding you are going to celebrate, how many guests you will have approximately and your guests’ culinary tastes.
With this information, the caterer will inform you of their best options in terms of appetizers and dishes, as well as the number of waiters and cooks that can cover the event. To learn more about NYC food catering, get in touch with Sweet Basil Catering today.
