By Deborah Nelson


If you think back to the most memorable weddings that you have attended, chances are that the food is one thing that will really stick out in a good way. This is one reason why so many couples put so much thought into who will be doing their wedding catering Boston. If you are getting married in the near future, here are some tips and tricks that you can use to find a great caterer.

Of course, knowing your budget before you talk to a caterer is very important. You will want to make sure that you also know what date your wedding will take place on as well as what time of the day your reception will start. Knowing these different things will help you choose the right company to work with.

Often, meals are served either buffet-style or as a sit-down dinner. You may want to ask about the costs for each and consider the pros and cons when deciding how you want your reception meal served. Keep in mind that the food you serve will have just as big an effect on the cost of your meal as how it is being served.

You should also think about whether there are going to be any special needs that are related to food. You will want to do this before you meet with your caterer so that you can find out whether your needs can be accommodated. Some common dietary requirements may include vegetarian meal options, cultural requirements and food allergies such as nut allergies or gluten intolerance.

Catering may seem expensive but you can lower costs by picking more affordable dishes such as pasta. You may also want to serve appetizers or have an early meal as these can end up being less pricey options.

There are many places that you can find potential caterers. For example, you can look online or you can speak to couples who have been married recently. If you attended a wedding and you liked the food, ask the bride and groom who they worked with and what their overall impression was.

Many couples will work with venues that include catering in the cost of the facility. This can be a great way to save money and ensure you are working with a professional that is used to your venue. If you choose to go with a different company, make sure you let your reception venue know. You may want to make sure there are no surprise charges involved.

It may seem like you need to meet with some of your wedding service providers multiple times but there are good reasons for this. For example, your caterer will want to go over menu options, possibly schedule a taste test and discuss times and dates when their services will be required. They will also ask you to submit a final head count so that they know what to charge you for your celebration.
