Planning for Wedding Catering There are a lot of different elements which go into a typical wedding. All of the pieces need to be planned out ahead of time and then put together on the big day in order to have the wedding work as a whole. Discovering the Fun in Planning One of the big elements that you are defiantly going to want to plan out in advance is the catering which will happen during your wedding- if there is going to be any at all. This is something to be discussed with a significant other in order to get a clear and defined idea about what you would like, as well as what to avoid. Most weddings will have some sort of food served at the reception, so it is prudent to plan for such an occasion. There is actually a great deal of fun to be had in figuring out what kind of food and drink options will be served, and how to match themes with them. Ultimately, the point of catering is to provide your guests with nice food and a good experience while they are showing up to support you on this special day. Therefore, it is worth it to make sure that the food is good and that the experience will be a pleasant one for everyone who is in attendance. To begin with, it is good to go over all of the essentials. If you have a wedding coordinator, be sure to discuss this with them and ask them for their opinion as it pertains to your situation. A good stepping stone for getting the process going is determining whether or not you are going to serve alcohol, and what your policy is going to be with an open bar. Obviously, not serving any alcohol will mean that these considerations do not matter as much. Deciding on the essentials You also are going to need to decide whether to do a buffet style or plated serving of food. Should you opt for buffet arrangements, then guests can come and go and pick out the food which they would like and take it to their seats. Going with served plates will mean that plates of food will be brought to people as they arrive at the event and are seated. Part of the catering decision will also revolve around whether people are going to all eat at the same time, or whether it is a more laid back event which is part of the process. What is actually served will also be a big deal. For example, some couples want light snacks to be an option, while others may prefer heavier food which can actually qualify as a meal.
