Your wedding day is one of the biggest days of your life, and you want it to be filled with memories you and your guests will cherish forever. Choosing the right wedding caterer is key to serving up an outstanding reception, as they will assist with everything related to food, from outlining the menu to supplying the staff. With over 60 years of experience, Marians Catering is the number one Honolulu caterer for weddings and events on Oahu. 

3 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wedding Caterer

Research Your Options

First, assemble a list of recommended caterers in your area. Some of the best resources may be your recently wed family members and friends, who will likely give you a comprehensive and honest review of the wedding caterers they hired. You can also ask the wedding vendors you’ve hired, including the venue owner, florist, photographer, and bridal shop. As wedding industry professionals, they’ll likely know reputable caterers in the area. 

Ask The Right Questions

Once you have a list of potential clients, begin with the fundamentals and ask if the caterer is licensed to serve food and alcohol, if you’ll have a bar. Next, ensure they have experience in wedding catering. A catering company that usually only works small events may not have the expertise, supplies, or staff to handle a large and complex wedding. In addition, ask them for details on menu options. If you’re looking for a specific type of cuisine or need someone who can cater to specific diets, ask how they can accommodate you.

Because weddings can be costly affairs, you want to stay within your budget. Ask for an estimate of the price per person, and confirm what is included in the total fee. You can also ask them to provide references. A quality caterer should easily be able to supply at least two references who can attest to their good service.

Book Appointments

Once you have narrowed down your list, book appointments with each one. Ask the wedding caterer to draw up a sample menu so you can get a better idea of their selection and prices. Also, have them prepare a sample of one of your preferred reception dishes so you can guarantee their quality. Make sure they are available for your wedding date.
