Frequently asked questions
How should I choose the right caterer for my event?
Start by defining your event size, style, dietary needs, and budget. Look at recent reviews and menus, ask for references, and confirm the caterer can handle your venue logistics such as service style, staff counts, and any required permits.
What should I check before hiring a caterer?
Verify the caterer’s licensing, insurance, and health permit where applicable. Request a written contract detailing menu, portion counts, service times, cancellation and payment policies, and any extra fees for staffing or travel.
When should I book a caterer for my event?
Book as early as possible—major events and popular weekends can fill months in advance. For smaller dates you may have more flexibility, but securing a catering contract several weeks to months ahead gives you more menu and staffing options.
