If you’re planning a wedding reception or another big event, one of your most important tasks is finalizing the event catering. At Havelock Social Hall in Lincoln, NE, they’ll provide a beautiful banquet hall for your big day and a mouthwatering menu for all your guests. With their “Create Your Own Buffet” option, it’s never been easier to serve exactly what you want without having to spend a small fortune.

Here are three tips for choosing the buffet dishes at your next event:

• Determine A Budget: The number of guests attending your event will ultimately determine how much you can spend per guest. That doesn’t mean you have to wait until everyone responds to your invite, though. Determining a total food budget early on will make it easier to decide on certain aspects of your event catering. The “Create Your Own Buffet” option at Havelock Social Hall starts at just $9.00 per guest.
• Consider Dietary Restrictions: While you don’t necessarily have to cater to the picky eaters at your party, it’s always a nice gesture to offer choices to those with dietary restrictions and allergies. Talk to the catering manager about possible vegetarian or gluten-free options, and let the kitchen staff know of any food allergies long before they are actually plating each dish.
• Stick To Seasonal Dishes: There’s nothing better than sweet corn on the cob in the middle of summer or aromatic pumpkin ravioli in mid-November. With help from Havelock Social Hall, you can plan your buffet menu around local favorites and seasonal dishes that are sure to impress all your guests.
