Chossing Your Wedding Food

Whether you're planning a simple wedding or an extravagant wedding it is important to have good food that your guests will enjoy. The unofficial guide recommends seeking out various options in a few ways and really taking time and investing in this decision, because it is an important one.

If the food at your wedding sucks, that's the only thing people will remember, no matter how beautiful the venue is or how great the band is.

Foods that are not on the caterer's official menu but should be

This unofficial guide advises that you also look on the internet or phone book and contact the caterer directly. make sure to ask about their planning styles, menus, set-up, prices and so on. You can automatically eliminate caterers who are busy on your wedding day or are too expensive for you. The catering options you are left with must be considered according to available menus and flexibility regarding preparation of foods that are not on the caterer's official menu. 

You need to narrow down your options to about four caters, if possible, less.

You have to taste the caterers food to decide what you want for you

Once you narrow down your options to about three or four caterers, call each one and ask when you may attend a tasting session and try to schedule one as soon as possible at their earliest convenience. You have to taste the caterers food to decide if you want them for your wedding. We advise that you eliminate any caterer that does not offer a tasting session. 

How could you possibly order their services without tasting their food? 

After you have scheduled to meet with the caterer for a tasting session, if you have special things in mind or specific dishes that you would want at your wedding create a list prior to the meeting with the caterer and bring it with you. Ask then the caterer at the tasting if he could also prepare the specific dishes that you want. 

Make sure that you know exactly what will be served at your wedding

You should taste food that you're planning on serving at the wedding so ask the caterer to prepare a few main courses that you would want and taste them all to make sure that you know exactly what will be served at your wedding. Also, the unofficial planning guide advises that you avoid going to more than one tasting a day because the food will start to taste dull and you will not be very discriminative.
