We you think of having an event catered don't limit your thoughts to the food only. Catering involves the food, drinks, table linen, and decorations. Always have a mininum and maxium budget in mind that you want to spend per person. Other costs to consider do you want your food in stainless steel or disposable chafing dishes; plastic or stainless steel utensils: cloth or paper napkins; plastic or crystal drinkware, and plastic, paper, or china plates. All these things could increase your costs from 50 cents to 2 dollars a person.
Your caterer should be able to give you menu ideas that cover either a passed hors d oeuvres, sit down dinner, and buffet meal plan. You should also have in mind what not only you like to eat but what the majority of your guests will eat. Also ask your caterer do they cook to the exact number or over by a certain amount. With hors d oeuvres that can be as simple as cheese and crackers to high end such as shrimp cocktail or caviar. Your sit down menu can include light hors d ouevres or a salad, meat selection and 2 sides dishes with a roll. With a buffet you are giving your guests more choices and can include a carving station of ham, turkey or roast beef.
With any caterer should you ask for references and a sample tasting of some items on the menu. Above all your caterer should make sure the food and service are not only a reflection of their company but your likes.
