Catering For Your Wedding, Event Or Party Is Not A Thanksgiving Meal!

What do we all look forward to when we go to a special occasion? Food! Planning your catering menu for your special occasion can be overwhelming!  As a caterer, i conduct many consultations and food tastings and many people feel they have to have a thanksgiving spread for their guests! Sometimes clients add food to their menu after they have selected their catering package! Here are tips for great catering options for your special occasion:

Event/Party/Meeting: Finger Food! Easy finger food to pass around or for guests to pickup. Examples are: fruit, veggie platter, cheese, crackers, crab cakes,  and chicken wingettes. Most events, parties or meetings there is alot of talking, dancing, announcements or activities going on. You want to satisfy your guest to hold them over but don't want to provide a heavy meal where people get lazy.

Banquet/Wedding: Not skimpy and not heavy! Selections Entertainment recommends one or two meats, a salad, side item and/or heavy appetizers. Examples:  baked chicken breast, steak, roast,  kabobs, pasta and vegetables. You want your guest to still have energy to participate in the special occasion and have a festive atmosphere. Especially after dinner is served! Save the thanksgiving meals for thanksgiving day! Happy planning!

Don't Give Up!

With many businesses closing small and big, the fight to keep a business open is very challenging in 2018!

Also work on supporting other businesses!. The struggle is real but pray, have faith, and believe, you will get through the rough patches. I don...

Budget Wisely!

Many brides are overwhelmed when they are planning a wedding. Many couples have estimated budgets for their special day but many don't plan a realistic budget. The best way to establish a realistic budget is to have a budget in each category. Hire a professional wedding planner to help you with your budget. A planner will let a couple know what is the average cost of a vendor in each category. People are very surprise how much a caterer, florist, or photographer cost in their area. The guessing game of expenses will cause a couple to overspend and become overwhelmed. A planner can also help you with saving money on do's and don't's. Their professional vendor list will help you plan your special day! Happy Planning!
