When planning an event or party, hiring the right caterer can be a make-or-break decision. Marians Catering has been providing the best choice for Oahu, HI, for more than 60 years and knows the importance of a well informed and prepared client.

What To Know Before Hiring A Caterer

Number Of Guests

The first and most important thing to know before choosing a caterer is how many people will be attending your event. A catering company commonly charges on a per-person basis, though prices often don’t include taxes and gratuities for servers. The cost could be considerably more than what you are quoted, so be prepared when getting prices.

Date & Location Of The Event

You also should confirm the location of your event is serviced by that catering company. Transport times can affect what kind of food the caterer can bring, and the site can determine whether you need tents or serving dishes.

Menu Choices

Make sure to check on dietary restrictions of guests prior to selecting a caterer. If many are vegetarian or have a religious requirement like a kosher or halal meal, it can add expense and affect your choice of catering company. Also consider the type of service: Do you want appetizers served by roving waiters, or a buffet-style service? A need for more waiters will result in higher cost, so consider your budget. 

Bar Requirements

Bar service can be vital to a good party, but it can be expensive. To cut costs, consider selecting a cash bar rather than an open bar. Make sure your catering company has the required license to provide alcohol.
