Happy wedding season! Wedding vendors i'm sure you are very busy right now but I hope you take the time to read this blog! Also brides and future brides! As a caterer, consultations are very detailed and I try to cover as many details as possible. What I notice in many consultations many clients feel the cake is the responsibility for the caterer. I'm sad to announce it's not. Sorry! Here are some of the assumptions people think happens at the wedding reception and sometimes events and parties: 1. Caterer assist baker with delivery & setup cake 2. Caterer provides cake knife, plates, napkins, & utensils for cake 3. Caterer cuts cake & serve 4. Caterer boxes up cake and responsible for cake at end of reception Here are the correct details pertaining to the cake and catering: 1. Most caterers do not assist bakers with delivery of cake and setting up. This is a big liability to the caterer. 2. Most caterers do not supply cake knife, plates, napkins, &...

Happy wedding season! Many business owners, brides and grooms are staying busy with planning their special day! Business owners are booking many consultations and possible clients are setting many consultations to narrow down their best and favorite vendors! Many clients are viewing websites and checking out the business owners prices and their work. The consultation goes great with the cake tasting, food tasting, venue walk thru, etc..... and what's next? You guessed right! Let's get into finances! Most business owners in the wedding industry will explain  the payment process before the consultation(most of the time posted on their website) and they will explain it again during the consultation. The average business owner has a non refundable deposit. This deposit secures your date and guarantees not to book another client or over book. As a business owner it is very important for clients to realize how important it is to pay your deposit to the business owner you really wan...

We still have to go through thanksgiving, christmas and new years! 2014 will be the year for weddings! Here are some tips if you are planning for your special day! 1. Don't wait until the engagement to save! If you and your partner are in a very serious committed relationship and engagement is around the corner in the near future, save before the engagement!
