Finding a caterer is not an easy job and calls for a well done homework before you begin your caterer search. Many aspects of the event need to be sorted before hiring or searching a catering service. To avoid any type of confusion it is better to understand your budget, venue, number of guests, menus, type of catering services required whether you want separate food catering services, desired number of waiting staff, the dress code of the wait staff (optional), presentation/ decoration and rental equipments.

Prepare a list of all these important things on a paper. May be you are good at remembering stuffs but it is always better to have a hard copy of list, to avoid forgetting.

Then begin the search for best catering service for your event. For better research of catering services try to search caterers in every possible field from internet to family and friends.

Internet is a big reservoir of various catering service companies whether it is full party catering or mere food catering, you can find a caterer from any part of the world by using a major search engine like Google, Yahoo or MSN, at your convenience. The search can further be filtered according to the requirement. Moreover, there are many websites on which you can post your event and invite bids from various best-suited professionals, like Bidgourmet.com.

You can also ask your near and dear ones for their suggestions. Your personal experience in some party can also be helpful to make a choice of the catering services company. You can contact your friends whose party’s catering services you liked and take their caterers’ contact number. If you have any special food caterer in your mind then you can also hire separate food catering services and party catering services for your event.

Many other things are also to be considered while finding an appropriate caterer for your event like catering service company’s license, permits, insurance coverage, experience and hidden costs if any. Before finalizing any catering service it is always better to ask for their recent past references and make sure to call these references to know about their services.

But, how do you go about finding the best caterers for your wedding day? Let us find out.

All wedding venues do not have their own caterers. Moreover, there are some wedding venues which do have wedding caterers and they will not allow you to hire your own caterers. For this reason, it is important that you find about all this when you are searching for the wedding venue. If you are told that they have their own caterers, you must find out what type of food they serve. You must only hire those caterers if you are satisfied with the meal they serve. If there are no caterers available at the wedding venue, make sure you look around and hire the best caterers to make your wedding even more special.

Ask your friends and families for recommendations. If you had recently attended someone’s wedding or reception and you found that the food was great, you can always ask them about the caterers they hired. Try to get as much information about them as possible and contact them so you can also arrange for your big day.

If you have located some caterers on your own, you must contact them and arrange for food tasting. There are many professional catering companies available and these days, they also have websites. If you are looking to find wedding caterers in your location, you can simply search on the internet with the relevant keywords. For example, if you are looking for caterers in Delhi, you can simply type “caterers in Delhi” in the search box and obtain a list of caterers available in your area.

Finding Caterers at the Last Minute        

Finding a Caterer at the last minute may be the last situation you would like to be in.  If your caterer has suddenly cancelled on you, or you have left planning till the last minute; here are a few tips to keep you organised.

Stressing out and getting overwhelmed may be the first thing to come to your mind.  It can be a tricky situation with an upcoming event or wedding, and your caterer calls you last minute to cancel.  For whatever reason they cancel, your caterer may feel as uncomfortable as you. 

Australian Caterers was designed to allow internet searches an opportunity to find many catering options in the one location.  You can select the type of catering required and the location where your function will be held.

A large number of caterers may be listed; however it is best to do a quick search to find menus and pricing to suit.  This will narrow down a list of names and numbers to a general idea that you are comfortable with.  Phone and/or email a few catering companies explaining your situation. 

For caterers to provide the information you are looking for, it helps to include full details of your function;

Date, number of guests, type of function, location, facilities available, access for loading/unloading

Due to your time restrictions with dates, some caterers may already be booked on your specific date.  It is a good idea to ask for referrals for local caterers that provide a similar menu and pricing.

It may take a few emails and phone calls to see who is available.  Be honest and upfront with your needs, and this will allow caterers to provide all the necessary information within a short period of time.

Australian Caterers has a range of catering and event specialists to help you when planning your next function; Entertainment, Photographers, Party Hire, Accommodation, Venues and more…
