A Bride's Guide To Great Wedding Catering Boston

By Shawn Hunter


Planning a wedding brings with it a large number of decisions that you need to make. One of the most important ones is picking who will provide wedding catering Boston for your event. This is because the meal can have a lasting impact on a guest's experience. Here are some tips that you can use which may make it much easier to choose a catering company and serve your guests a meal they will remember for all of the right reasons.

If you are searching for a caterer in the Boston, MA area, you may be overwhelmed by the number of service providers available. There are a few different ways that you can narrow the field down and end up with a caterer that will be able to give you the kind of meal you want at a price that you can afford.

Often, couples who are marrying will decide a few basics about their reception before hunting for someone to make the wedding meal. They may want to figure out where they are holding the celebration and may also determine a time of day so that they know what kind of meal they want to serve. If you have a site in mind, one question to ask them is whether they cater or not.

You should also have your budget in mind when you speak with different service providers. Often, catering companies will provide you with a cost per piece or cost per plate for the different menus that they can prepare for you. If you know how much you can afford to spend, it may aid you in determining how many individuals you want to have at your ceremony and reception.

Caterers can usually accommodate most types of meals. If, however, you have a very large guest list, you may need to ask whether a particular company has experience working with large groups. If possible, give them a rough idea of how many people will be attending your event. Some smaller companies may not have the staff or the equipment to accommodate your event and it is a good idea to know this early on.

Some couples are lucky enough to know who they want to work with or are using a venue that provides food as well. If this is the case with you, you still need to make some decisions about the food that you will serve. Do not be surprised if you find that you are presented with a number of different meal options. Usually these will be based on price per person. If they are all too high for your budget you may find that you will need to adjust your guest list in order to make it work financially.

For some couples, the meal is not the only food that will be available at their event. Some will choose to have other food so that their guests will be full throughout the celebration. You may want to find out if one caterer is able to provide all of these things for you.

Once you have selected a caterer be prepared to meet with them several times. You may have a tasting set up so that you can compare the different menu options and determine which ones you want to serve. You may also have a meeting closer to the ceremony date where you firm up choices and times and let them know how many guests will be attending your event.
