Wedding Experts
Caterer
Timing:
Four to six months before your wedding day; some
caterers may be able to take jobs with shorter notice.
What they do:
The catering company will have one or more
set wedding menus or packages available. If there are no menus that suit your
taste, most caterers will create a custom menu. The caterer provides all food,
serving staff, bartenders and usually all rentals (dinnerware, linens, etc.) for
your reception. The caterer may help you design your table settings and choose
the layout of the tables. If you are renting tables and chairs from another
company, the caterer will most likely set them up and then take them down after
the reception.
How to work with them:
Make an appointment to discuss your wedding plans. You'll have to provide
the caterer with the approximate number of guests when you first meet; they'll
need a final number about two weeks before your wedding date. If your reception
is being held in an unlicensed location, you'll have to provide the liquor
permit, even if the catering company is supplying the liquor. Make sure that the
catering company can have access to the reception site with plenty of time to
set up.
