Planning your wedding can be both exhilarating and exhausting. You finally have free reign to create the wedding of your dreams complete with your favourite flowers, fairytale or other theme, dream venue and many other details. You have your teams organized to a T and are sure that yours will be a wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come. Wedding gown, flowers, bridal party, garden venue, all these details are being taken care of and you can hardly wait to see what it will look like when everything comes together. However, before you take the first step in organizing your dream event, you need to start taking care of one very essential detail i.e. the catering. Catering is among the most important parts of a wedding, and if handled poorly can wreck a perfectly planned day. Below are just a few reasons why calling a caterer should be top on your wedding to do list:
Reduced stress
While it is impossible to avoid worrying about how your big day will go, you can reduce some of the stress associated with trying to be in charge of everything. The last thing you want to be thinking about is whether the fruit flavoured water has been set up properly or whether there is a vegetarian section for the no meat eaters in your family. Delegating the task of feeding your guests to a professional ensures that the meals are taken care of and leaves you free to enjoy your day.
Professional advice
Unless you are a qualified chef or professional caterer yourself, chances are that you will have little to no idea on the right quantities and quality to feed large numbers of people. You may end up overestimating your guests’ food needs which will lead to wastage or underestimating them which will lead to some very hungry and disgruntled guests. A professional caterer will have both the expertise and experience necessary to ensure your wedding is well catered and save you money, time and embarrassing situations.
A personalized menu
Hiring your caterer early on in the planning process allows them to begin the process of tracking down the ingredients and items you need to create the perfect wedding menu. Further, your caterer is able to translate your menu from paper into reality, ensuring your guests are well fed and that your ceremony goes off without a hitch.
