No matter how casual, formal, large, or small your event, a catering service will make the planning process more efficient. If you haven’t hired a caterer in the past, however, you may wonder if your occasion is truly suited to this service. Just about any gathering can benefit from ordering food. Here are the top four most common types of events for catering.

4 Occasions That Call for Catering Services

1. Weddings

If you think back to any wedding you’ve attended, chances are, the reception was catered. On average, couples are expected to feed 136 guests. When you’re planning every aspect of the wedding, from the venue to the entertainment, you’ll need a quality catering service to take care of the food.

2. Cocktail Receptions

Cocktail receptions are versatile and can range from get-togethers for your book club to an open house or gallery opening. For these events, appetizers, desserts, and side items are the best options. Finger foods and light beverages are easy to snack on, making them perfect for mingling.

3. Social Gatherings

Every party needs good food to keep the festivities going. Whether it’s a birthday party, baby shower, family reunion, or holiday party, catering is a great way to offer your family and friends a delicious meal. The best caterers will allow you to customize your menu to suit the theme of the event or tastes of your guests.

4. Corporate Events

Free food can be a fantastic reward and motivator for employees and a gesture of thanks to clients or partners.
