When you start to interview a caterer for your wedding reception, Here’s what you need to be asking.
Here’s what you need to be asking. License/Liability/Health - Are they licensed?
- Are they insured?
- Do they have health permits?
Alcohol - Do they have a liquor license to purchase alcohol? If no, are they willing to serve your alcohol?
- Does your caterer provide bartender(s) to serve your beverages? How much extra is this service?
- Is there a corkage fee for serving my own wine?
- Is champagne service included for my wedding toast?
- Are the beverages served at the bar, buffet style, and do the wait staff refill drinks at the tables?
- How will they calculate the amount of ice to use?
You may need ice for the keg, bar, carafes of water. A good rule of thumb is ½ of pound of ice per guest. You may need extra ice in really hot weather. Head Count Prices are usually based on the number of guests that you plan to invite to your wedding or event. The caterer will need an initial head count or a rough idea of the amount of your guests. - When does the caterer need to know the final head count? When you send out your invitations, keep in mind that the most caterers want a final count 1-2 weeks before your event.
- Does the head count include other wedding/party vendors, such as the DJ, Band, Wedding Consultant, and Photographer?
