Choosing Catering Services

Planning an event is not a simple thing. There are many details that need to be chosen and arranged for. In order for your event to be a success you will have to choose carefully.

Whether you are planning for a wedding, a birthday party, a reunion or any big event, food will always play a big part and consume a huge chunk of your planning. You are lucky if you have booked Gazebo Royale as they have catering partners inQuezon City that have great reputations. If you have rented a place that doesn’t have catering partners, your choices will be unlimited but choosing might get a bit harder.

Here are several key factors to consider when hiring catering services:

Budget

Make sure to calculate a budget for food and catering services. Check with different caterers to see and compare what they have to offer and if they fit into your budget. Most of the established catering companies are able to adapt a menu to match the needs. Aim to get at least four or five different quotes which gives the option of comparing the different services side-by-side to make it easier to see which cater offers the more all-inclusive option.

In the process of getting the quote it helps to check that the caterer offers services like providing the linen and tableware which often varies with the different companies.

Food Quality

This should be your number one priority. Quality doesn’t necessarily mean a huge price increase so don’t be afraid to ask for quotes from caterers who are well-known to get deliver the best food services. You most likely will get referrals from feedback from actual customers. Ask for a taste testing session to get firsthand experience of what is on offer. Also, make sure the catering service is based in professional commercial premises and able to offer the talented serving staff to make sure things go as smooth as possible on the big day.

Styling Services

Catering services do not only deliver food, they can style the event place as well. Check what are the options included in their packages and their portfolio of catered events. This will help you decide whether to get them for styling services or hire a separate event stylist.

Availability and Payment Options

Of course, check if the catering service is available on a specific date. Most well-known caterers usually get booked earlier so the earlier you plan and scout around for suppliers, the bigger the chance of being able to get the catering service you want. Also, check on the payment and booking requirements. A catering service offering the more flexible payment terms is likely to be an attractive choice for many.
