A happy tummy means a happy person! So, it is pretty obvious that food is the most important aspect of the wedding where your guests are concerned. After all, you don’t want a bunch of wedding guests grimacing and bravely telling you that “The food was excellent”! To avoid uncomfortable situations like that, you need to hire a caterer who not only makes delicious food, but also uses top class ingredients! Making the stomach upset the day after the wedding doesn’t quite cut a nice picture!

While, it’s not desirable to subject the caterers to the third degree, it is important to ask them a few basic questions regarding their approach to their work. You need to ensure that your wedding caterers understand exactly what you want and are willing to deliver, to avoid any unpleasantness on the final day.

1. “Do you specialize in _____ type of cuisine”? Fill in the blank with the type of cuisine you have planned for your wedding. If so, ask them to provide you with a sample menu which you can review.

2. “Will you be able to provide us with a testing session of specific foods”? Nothing is better than tasting, first hand, the food you will be serving up on your wedding day. If you like it, then chances are, you’re guests won’t be too averse to it! If, on the other hand, it doesn’t appeal to you, then it’s time to move down along the list of prospective caterers you’ve drawn up!

3. “What will be the total expenditure like”? It’s all well to be planning an elaborate menu complete with foods which taste like heaven on earth, but the fat check you have to write for it, might just not be worth it! After all, you have to draw the line somewhere!
