Do caterers bring their own plates, utensils and glassware to a job?

I need a little advice on how to save money on an outdoor wedding. I don't want to have to wash every plate, fork, glass, etc. we use that's being rented. Is this going to be an issue? Or do caterers typically bring these things?Do caterers bring their own plates, utensils and glassware to a job?
Depends on the caterer. Some include the plates, others do not.

You will have to speak directly with your caterer about it.
that's a really good questions, ask the catering companies your looking into you, and if they dont but offer an outside service inquire about fee's.

When I was looking around for decorating services, some of them offered dishes, utensiles, and all that jazz, and they picked it up, maybe this is another avenue to explore.



I agree with you 100% last thing you want to do is scrub dishes or have someone at your wedding do that for you. However, if your looking to save a few dollars, I also gathered when we were looking into it too that the most they would make you do is rinse the dishes, this still stinks!!! but its a whole lot better then scrubbing the plates and silverware.Do caterers bring their own plates, utensils and glassware to a job?
It depends, sometimes they bring it and its included in the price, and sometimes you have to rent it sepperately or bring it yourself. If you find a place for your reception thats in house catering, they almost always provide your linenes, plates, utensils and glasses. Just check the pricing, it should break everything down with whatever menu package you choose with what it includes. If you're still confused, ask the caterer :)
You usually rent the plates and silverware through the caterer. Ask them what they normally do.
