3 essential questions to ask your caterer before signing. 🤔

Planning an event? Don't book your caterer until you've asked these crucial questions:

1️⃣ "What's included in your service package?"
From staff and equipment to setup and cleanup - know exactly what you're getting (and what might cost extra!)

2️⃣ "How do you handle last-minute changes?"
Weather shifts, guest count updates, or sudden dietary requirements - your caterer should have clear policies for adjustments

3️⃣ "Can you share recent client references?"
Nothing beats hearing from someone who's actually experienced their service!

💡 Pro Tip: Get everything in writing, including answers to these questions!

What other questions would you add to this list? ⬇️

We’re all about great food, but knowing our service made just as much of an impact? That’s what truly matters.

"Absolutely incredible company... Every bit of the food was absolutely fantastic, but they shine even brighter on customer service." – J. Grant

Thank you, J. Grant, for your kind words! We believe that exceptional catering isn’t just about what’s on the plate—it’s about how you feel from start to finish.

Have you experienced our catering? We’d love to hear your favorite part! ⬇️

Top wedding catering mistakes you need to avoid! 🚨 (Trust us, we've seen it all!)

Here's what can make or break your event's dining experience:

1️⃣ Underestimating portions - Nothing worse than running out of food mid-event!

2️⃣ Forgetting dietary restrictions - Always plan for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options

3️⃣ Poor timing - Food temperature matters! Nobody wants cold hot food or melted cold dishes

4️⃣ No backup plan - Weather changes? Equipment issues? Always have Plan B ready

5️⃣ Skipping the tasting - Never serve what you haven't tried yourself

💡 Pro tip: Working with experienced caterers helps you avoid these pitfalls entirely!
