When you throw a party, the food should be one of the highlights of your day. Whether you require catering service for a wedding, anniversary, birthday, graduation, or another special event, there are a few things you can do that’ll have your guests raving about their dining experience. With some research, your delicious menu will remain memorable long after the “happy birthdays” or “I dos.” 

Here’s how to find the perfect caterer for your event:

• Your Service Needs: Think about what kind of catering service would be appropriate for your event. Do you require a small buffet set up for 10 to 15 people or a full-service waitstaff for a large event? Write your requests down before talking to catering company representatives—this way, you know what questions to ask. The ideal catering company for you is one with services that match your needs, such as a cocktail hour waitstaff or customized menus.
• References & Testimonials: Ask friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors for recommendations to get a feel for what type of service you can expect from different caterers. Read testimonials on social media and review sites as well. If you’re still having trouble deciding, ask your top picks to furnish references. Also, call your local health department to see if the company has had any recent violations or complaints.
• On-Site or Off-Site Cooking: Learn whether the catering company prepares fresh food at their headquarters or uses frozen products in their recipes. Some catering companies charge the same amount for food that was simply heated up. Be sure they’re able to provide the fresh flavor you and your guests crave.
