I know what we are looking for in a meal, but are there questions that I may be forgetting? Has anyone wished they had asked certain questions?
Any advice or comments you can give me would be great!
Thanks!I am meeting with a potential caterer to plan a buffet dinner, what questions do I ask?
These questions are geared more for if it is an in-house caterer, rather than an outside source.
1) How long will the buffet be open?
2) When do they restock food options? When the food is completely gone, halfway gone, 3/4 gone...?
3) What kinds of beverages do they offer?
4) How flexible are they in changes?
5) Do they provide waiter-attended service (someone to take care of the buffet table during the dinner). How much extra does it cost?
6) Will they be setting the buffet table? What options do you have in linens and decorations?
7) Will they be setting the guest tables/providing silverware, tableware, and linens? If so, what options do you have for color, style, etc?
I pretty much agree with the others. The most important thing, however, is to make sure you've googled their name and read through any online reviews. These days, almost everyone gets rated at places like yahoo, yelp, etc. and this is where you'll get your best info.
In fact, it can even help with the questions you ask. For example, if a lot of reviewers complain that the fettuccini was disgusting because it was cold, you could point this out and ask if they're aware of this complaint and what they've done to remedy it.
And if the reviews appear to come from credible reviewers and they're all good, you may not have to worry so much about a lot of questions, since they clearly know what they're doing.I am meeting with a potential caterer to plan a buffet dinner, what questions do I ask?
how much do I need for x people. how many servers are you providing. if you are not familiar with the caterer's reputation get references from previous customers. Do you take cash or credit. Now, or at he time of the event. Is tipping of servers customary. Do you have backup personnel, if someone is sick, quits, gets fired, or goes on vacation. are you FULLY insured.(fire, theft, liability, no show)
Be sure to ask about the staff they will have present before during and after. Also, exactly how will the serving tables be set up. Exactly when will they arrive to set up. Don't be afraid to ask about every stinkin' detail. You shouldn't have to be concerned about anything on your day.
Don't forget to ask about clean up .

Anyone know of a good Chinese caterer who does off-site weddings in NYC?
Hi, I'm planning a wedding in May and am looking for a Chinese caterer that offers food, waiter service and table settings. My fiance and I are having a wedding on the roof of his office building, but there is no kitchen facilities whatsoever - everything would have to be brought in from the outside. Does anyone know of a good, not too expensive Chinese caterer who has experience doing off-site catering? Thanks!Anyone know of a good Chinese caterer who does off-site weddings in NYC?

At my wedding luncheon our caterer served an amazing chicken w/ cheesy sauce and ham slices. Any recipes?
ENJOY!!!
INGREDIENTS
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 slices ham
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream
shredded swiss cheese
DIRECTIONS
Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Top with shredded chicken.Serve warm.At my wedding luncheon our caterer served an amazing chicken w/ cheesy sauce and ham slices.

Sounds like chicken cordon blu or a variation. You could stuff pounded chicken breasts, put a slice of ham on each breast, fold and bread-fry or bake. Then make a cheese sauce separate instead of putting a slice of cheese inside the chicken.At my wedding luncheon our caterer served an amazing chicken w/ cheesy sauce and ham slices. Any recipes?

Where can I find a caterer/restaurant who specialises in Jamaican food?
I am having a party for around 80 people and need somebody who will bring it all to us.Where can I find a caterer/restaurant who specialises in Jamaican food?
Hi,
I understand your dilema.... i am a wedding and event planner who has had lots of experience with these things. I have arranged for entertainment, outside caterers and bar for company parties and believe it or not, its cheaper than you think.... and avoids the stress at this time of year. My services are paid for by the discounts that i save companies, due to the large list of contacts i have.
As you are looking for a particular type of food, depending on where you live, most caterers will have either cooked this before, or maybe willing to try. An outside caterer will do this, but at this time of year, they might be very busy?
If you need any help, questions, advise, just let me know and i will do my best
Good luck xx
you can go to yellowpages.com otherwise i would have to know where you live to see if i would even knowWhere can I find a caterer/restaurant who specialises in Jamaican food?

You must ask your stepmother this question. She is a caterer, and she knows what she does best. Don't give her a list! Ask her to give you a list of things she can do well in the circumstances you describe.
Lasagna with and without meat is quick as easy and inexpensive. Also ravioli and chicken parm are good options. Also have a salad made for the first course.
artichoke dip with bread or crackers, a cold pasta salad and finger sandwiches with fancy tooth pics in them. A chocolate fountain with a pyramid of strawberries and other fruits.
Ham, Caesar salads, potato casserole, and rolls.
If you want it to look fancy looking:
Fruit skewers platters
Cheese platters
Chicken platters
Swedish meatball
Shrimp cocktail patters
Salad
Slice meat platters
Good luck and Congrats!

You could use foods such as meatballs, pastas, chicken wings, bake chicken with rice or just some cold foods.

How much should I plan to spend on a caterer for 50 people for a birthday party?
I know it would be cheaper for me to do it myself but we are having this the day after Christmas so I am hiring a company. I would like to have an idea before I speak to them of how much it should run me. There will be approximately 50-60 people there and I am really only interested in serving some heavy hors' dorves. Any suggestions?How much should I plan to spend on a caterer for 50 people for a birthday party?
It depends on what type of food exactly you're looking for.
To get the best idea you should call around multiple caterers in your area. Once you discuss what you want and get estimates from them, you'll start noticing a price trend and can determine how much you'd like to pay.
How much should I plan to spend on a caterer for 50 people for a birthday party?
We had a wedding with 100 guests. We were on a tight budget so we ordered from The Boston Market. They allow you to customize the Entree and sides. We spent a total of 800 dollars, we still had plenty left over so for 50-60 people you may spend alot less, and they deliver.

What's cheaper - hiring a party rental company or a caterer?
Hi, I am planning a wedding reception in NYC. It's inside an office building with no kitchen or heating facilities.
I don't know which would be cheaper - hire a caterer to handle the food and the decorations, or order food from our favorite restaurant and hire a separate party rental company to take care of the dishware and tableware. What do you think? The wedding is in Manhattan, which means it will be really expensive.What's cheaper - hiring a party rental company or a caterer?

How can I deal with a 3rd party by grud affecting business?
I provide equipment to caterers for their events. 5 years ago, there was an event at a hall that my company (not owned by me yet) provided service to the caterer for the event. The driver at the time left a bad impression on the person in charge of the hall. Since I purchased this business, I have to say, the service has increased dramatically and sales have been impressive. We have serviced caterers to their satisfaction and I have now heard from 3 different caterers that the hall manager is discouraging the renter form using our service, but it is the high-class caterer that is requesting our service, not the hall manager. We still have been able to provide the service and no screw-ups. The hall manager is still telling bad tells. How would you handle this? Consider that if I go over that persons head, which has been there for many years, they will most likely try to hurt our business even more. Talking to the hall manager has gotten NO WHERE. Any impressive Suggestions?How can I deal with a 3rd party by grud affecting business?
I would take the Hall Manager out to lunch and very nicely ask him how you can work TOGETHER to get more business.

Where can I find a wedding facility that would allow me to choose my own outside caterer?
Every wedding venue I've been to, they want me to use their own exclusive caterer. I cannot because of cultural reasons and it is frustrating. I did find one venue that would allow me to use any caterer of my choice, but the rental fee is much pricier and they charge an extra fee for using an outside caterer. Any websites I can look that will screen out by state?Where can I find a wedding facility that would allow me to choose my own outside caterer?
The main reason venues require their own caterer used is for insurance reasons, it is considerably more risky for them to use and outside caterer, have something go wrong, then the venue gets all the blame from the victim, not the outside catering company. Have you talked with their catering companies to see if their catering staff can meet your guidelines or are able to work with a head chef that is from a culturally approved caterer?
It depends on where you look. For me, I had to go out of my state of VA to NC to find a venue and even there they want me to use their caterer. However, the plate price per person is a whole lot cheaper than Va. I was hearing anything from 4,000 to 8,000 for a venue with the food, minus the drinks and i thought that was a little crazy. Most places, especially if you are looking at hotels, resorts, and inns, are going to want you to have their caterer. I don't really know why but it's something that I may have to live with. Did you bring up the issues about the cultural differences? Maybe they will be willing to go by what you need as opposed to a set menu because at the end of the day, it is your wedding and since they are forcing a cook down your throat they can at least adhere to your guidelines. That is going to be hard, but there is nowhere, specifically, to look. Only you know your area and you will just have to get in the phone book and start calling people. If you are having the wedding in a church and then having the reception elsewhere you could choose to have the reception at someones house maybe, if you know someone with a big enough home or yard, then you can get whatever caterer you would like. That seems to be the only recourse in this situation and I was planning to do just that until I found my location. It will be hard but don't give up. Good luck and best wishes!Where can I find a wedding facility that would allow me to choose my own outside caterer?
If you are getting married in a church then have your reception in the church hall and it would allow you to have an outside cater and your guest do not need to travel to get to your wedding reception.
Depends on where you live actually, but some suggestions, for instance where I am located Volunteer Fire companies rent there communitie gathering areas for wedding receptions same as most churches there meeting halls are great for this, hope it helps.
theknot.com may have info that can help you find a place. Most halls will let you bring your own caterer - vfw, elks, church hall, etc.

Our caterer for our wedding is serving ice cream with strawberries for dessert. Can we get a smaller cake?
We are expecting 200 people. Since we're having dessert, will people want to still eat cake too? We were thinking of getting a cake for less people and setting it up on trays with the coffee after the cake cutting ceremony. Is this ok or is it tacky?Our caterer for our wedding is serving ice cream with strawberries for dessert. Can we get a smaller cake?
Not tacky at all...
Here's some things to think about:
Is the ice cream being served at the table as a dessert or will there be a station for guests to pick up their own if they want it? This will make a difference. If it's served it is then presumed that it is the dessert and most people will eat it, making them feel a sense of "I've already had dessert."
As far as the cake goes, I'm an advocate of always having a wedding cake at the reception. It is tradition and some bad "bad luck" not to have one, if you believe in such a thing. I would however, take into account a few factors. One, which we've already discussed, is the ice cream and strawberries being served as a dessert? Two, know your guests. Are they younger, older, a lot of children, drinkers? Older folks and children tend to eat more cake than others. If you have quite a few drinkers, don't even expect them to realize there's a cake there... alcohol and cake don't mix for some reason.
In my experience with your situation, having a plated dessert should definitely decrease the size of your wedding cake. After you go over your guest list and really see who your guests are, you will be able to make a better decision about the size of the cake. Most weddings I've ever been to, the cake has not been finished.
If I had to make a guess of how big to get the cake without knowing any of the factors I've discussed, I would say get enough for about 100-110 servings.
Hope this helps...have a great wedding!
A traditional wedding should have a wedding cake. Its okay to have family do extra baking that could sit by the coffee urns, but everyone expects a wedding cake regardless of the additional treats, baked goods, chocolate fountain, etc. You should ideally have a big enough cake to feed each and every guest. Otherwise, yeah, itll be very tacky...not to mention distasteful and maybe even disappointing to your guests.Our caterer for our wedding is serving ice cream with strawberries for dessert. Can we get a smaller cake?
People just seem to expect cake at a wedding. I'd still get it large enough for everyone to have a sliver of cake with their ice cream .....OR, just do a very small cake for the 2 of you, and serve petit fours that match the cake with the ice cream for your guests. But, you really can't have some cake and not have enough to serve everyone at least a small piece......
As long as there is there is ice cream for everyone, it is perfectly acceptable to have a smaller cake. Those who want it will eat it and those who don't will stick with the ice cream. If the cake was your only dessert, you would need to have enough for everyone.
No, the cake is traditional and everybody will expect a portion of cake. It can be very small it is just what you do at a wedding.
No that's fine. No one cares about the cake other than the bride anyway.
Buy sheet cake, Noboby will know if its cut in the back that they are serving sheet cakes.
This is just fine!
Not tacky at all...
Here's some things to think about:
Is the ice cream being served at the table as a dessert or will there be a station for guests to pick up their own if they want it? This will make a difference. If it's served it is then presumed that it is the dessert and most people will eat it, making them feel a sense of "I've already had dessert."
As far as the cake goes, I'm an advocate of always having a wedding cake at the reception. It is tradition and some bad "bad luck" not to have one, if you believe in such a thing. I would however, take into account a few factors. One, which we've already discussed, is the ice cream and strawberries being served as a dessert? Two, know your guests. Are they younger, older, a lot of children, drinkers? Older folks and children tend to eat more cake than others. If you have quite a few drinkers, don't even expect them to realize there's a cake there... alcohol and cake don't mix for some reason.
In my experience with your situation, having a plated dessert should definitely decrease the size of your wedding cake. After you go over your guest list and really see who your guests are, you will be able to make a better decision about the size of the cake. Most weddings I've ever been to, the cake has not been finished.
If I had to make a guess of how big to get the cake without knowing any of the factors I've discussed, I would say get enough for about 100-110 servings.
Hope this helps...have a great wedding!

Caterer made bland deep dried chicken wings. Too late to return them. Is there any way to salvage it?
The chicken wings are for my daughter's birthday party.Caterer made bland deep dried chicken wings. Too late to return them. Is there any way to salvage it?
Franks' Hot Sauce and Butter.
If that is too spicy for them add BBQ Sauce. My favorite is Sweet baby Ray's Chipotle Sauce.
Sprinkle with some Creole seasoning or seasoned salt .... or offer dishes with dipping sauces (BBQ, honey-mustard, teriyaki, Ranch)Caterer made bland deep dried chicken wings. Too late to return them. Is there any way to salvage it?
I'm guessing you mean "fried" and not "dried"?? Choice one is to have the ranch dressing out as a dip and hope it's used. Otherwise consider tossing them in a BBQ sauce %26amp; a splash of tabasco - a bit messier, but should conquer some of the dryness.
Toss with a sauce. Teriyaki, B-B-Q would be tasty. Toss with the sauce then heat. Or heat the sauce and add the wings. Hot sauce would be good as well-don't know if your daughter and friends would like the real hot stuff. The hot wing sauce is hot sauce and butter.
Make pizza wings!
Put the fried wings on a pizza pan, arranging them into "pizza" type slices.. Cover with pizza sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese has melted, then serve them on the pizza pan
Tell them that they are Pizza WIngs! They will love it!
P.S. I am a caterer and I want to know if my clients are satisfied with what I provide. You should mention this to your caterer and he/she should compensate you for your troubles.

I work for a caterer and we do lobster bakes. we use canvas tarps to cover hot fire bricks.?
the tarps get rather big holes but are roughly 100 dollars for just one. can i patch them? i could use an old tarp and patch it to the newer tarp if only i could iron them onto it.I work for a caterer and we do lobster bakes. we use canvas tarps to cover hot fire bricks.?
I would be careful about the iron on as the heat from the bricks would melt the bond.
I would try sewing...very heavy thread and a very large needle.I work for a caterer and we do lobster bakes. we use canvas tarps to cover hot fire bricks.?
Why not buy fire resistant tarps from a welding supply store? Normally, tarps used for the project you are talking about, are thoroughly soaked with water to prevent burning.

How do you find a wedding reception venue WITHOUT a caterer?
I am in Durham, North Carolina, and I am assisting in planning a wedding. The bride has selected a ceremony site AND a caterer, but no reception venue. She can't use the reception at the church because they won't allow dancing. Any idea how to locate a reception site where you can outsource the catering?
Durhamites, if you know any where specific I would appreciate that, too!!How do you find a wedding reception venue WITHOUT a caterer?
Is there a conservation area (do you guys call those "state parks" down there?) near you? Sometimes, they'll allow it.
You could attempt to use an empty store/office/restaurant site (if you have any of those) -- we were seriously looking at a site that used to be the office floor of a long-gone bank -- the room is entirely glass, and it would be incredible, and it would have allowed us to use any caterer we wanted to. The downside was the amount of stuff we'd have to bring in to make it user friendly (flooring, etc.). Unconventional locations can be fun :)
Is there another church in the area in which she could just use the reception hall?
One of the problems with being about to outsource the caterer is that it's unlikely that there are appropriate catering facilities on site (if our experience has been anything to go by) -- caterers who have exclusive rights to a particular venue also often have exclusive access to the kitchens.
That said, what about renting a boat, and doing a cruise-reception? Or a park? Local football stadium (if they're sporty types)? Maybe a hangar at a small airfield (the bride and groom could arrive/depart by helicopter)?
Good luck!
The best way to achieve what you're needing is to look beyond traditional banquet halls. I don't know what the budget is, and that can and will affect your selections. However, try local hotels. A lot of times local historical places will allow receptions/weddings. I'm not from North Carolina, so I don't have any knowledge of the area. The best thing to do is to start doing searches for "reception venues Durham North Carolina" and see what pops up. I know that's not much help, but it's how we found our location. You can also try community centers, auditoriums, sometimes even museums have spaces you can use. You just have to think outside the typical reception venue box. It can be done, and with a little planning I'm sure you can find the perfect place!How do you find a wedding reception venue WITHOUT a caterer?
There is a catalog called the Perfect Wedding Guide that has a list of reception locations and it gives general info about each in a chart. It tells whether or not you can bring in a caterer, the cost, the capacity, etc. The catalog is specific to various areas so mine gives info for my local area. But you can also use their website.

You may have to call the different vendors directly to find out if you can bring your own caterer or see if their website has the information so that adds a bit of work. But you have a list of locations to start with.
Check with your local VFW or American Legion. Usually they have a hall to rent, but don't have a "house caterer", so your caterer can just do his/her thing there.
You may have to pay for a bartender and/or security provided by the organization, but that can be a plus. Hall fees vary, obviously, depending on what they offer, the amount of time you need it for, etc.
Other social organizations like the Elks club also have their own facilities, and often rent them out for parties, etc., too.
Good Luck!
Throughout the whole country, you can search out VFW Halls, or any other type of "service club" (Lions Club, etc.) These types of halls will let you bring in your own caterer. As will any type of historic building that is open for rentals.
When you want to bring in your own caterer, you are going to be relegated to places like Elks Halls or your local Fire Hall or perhaps your local park might have a space.
Pop open the yellow pages in your area and see what is around.
Look into museums, they usually allow wedding receptions, and don't have house caterers.
You only have a few choices like The American Legion, VFW, or firehalls like someone else pointed out. Reception venue's make a chunk of their money with food and beverage.

What do you tip a caterer and her staff?
I am having a party of 25 people. We don't live in a big city. The caterer is charging me about $900 for food and $240 for her and one more person to serve for 4 hours. Although, the contract says that the tip isn't included, I don't want to give them 15 - 20% since I am paying them $240. How much would be appropriate? Please help!What do you tip a caterer and her staff?
Don't give one! A tip is a gift that you give someone for going above and beyond the call of duty, it is not something that should be expected and definitely should not be asked for. I'm guessing the caterer owns the business, and so will make a tidy profit on the day, as she sets her own prices. By all means give something to her employee, but not to the business owner.What do you tip a caterer and her staff?
I think you have paid enough. I'm sorry but I wouldn't tip her or her staff.chucky cheese games google translations

How much can I expect to pay for a caterer for a 50 person reception?
The caterer will not have to provide beverages or plates, napkins, etc, only an assortment of hot and cold finger foods.How much can I expect to pay for a caterer for a 50 person reception?
you pay per person... somewhere in the $15 to $20 for only finger foods i would estimate.... different geographical locations will fluctuate cost, also there are inexpensive and expensive caterers
I BELIVE IT ABOUT 15 UP TO 20 DOLLARS FOR EACH PERSON IF YOUR ONLY DOING FINGER FOODS,
BUT!!!!!!! YOU CA SAVE ON THE MONEY IF YOU DO THIS YOUR SELF
BUY ABOUT 20 LOVES OF BREAD AND SANDWITCH MEATS AND MAYO,AND DO THIS TWO NIGHTS BEFORE
AND THATS ALL IT WILL COST YOU,AND FOR THE HOT FOODS
SARVE PASTA DISHES,YOU CANN'T GO WRONG.I HAVE DONE THISHow much can I expect to pay for a caterer for a 50 person reception?
It really depends on what kind of food you want to serve. If you want the expensive foods like steaks and lobster, you'll get stuck with the high bill. If you go for like Fried Chicken from KFC or Hardee's, or have a Pizza Party like, it will be a way lot cheaper for you.
$8 - 10
Depends on what kind of reception you are having. If it is a sit down with three entrees expect to pay more. A buffet expect to pay less. But call the caterers in your town and ask them.
figure 20 dollars per person.
If you live in a rural area you might find some women from your local church or women's group who can cater for a reasonable amount, but $15 - $20 is totally not out of line and very reasonable. Basically what you chose to serve determines the cost. If you want finger sandwiches of steak and shrimp appetizers, etc. your cost will be higher than finger sandwiches of chicken salad and a veggie platter with dip. The best thing to do is estimate your budget first, then meet with a caterer and see what they offer and work from there. Usually they have a price list with possibilities listed, but you can change the choices to increase or decrease the cost.
You may decide to have the caterer do the hot foods and you and friends provide cold salads, appetizers, dips, etc. on your own. Having grown up in a rural area in Indiana I found that things could be done for less and often nicer than done in the city.
Be creative and have a great party!

Check with your local VFW or fire company -- they often have arrangements with less expensive caterers. Sometimes churches or synagogues will have halls that can be used, and they might know someone, too.
Check with a party rental place -- they might know someone who has used their services who can meet your requirements

Try corkyscatering.com. They have venues listed by city and they were recommended on hubpages.com.
I'm not sure about the caterer situation, but I am from St. Charles, IL (West Suburbs) and there is a great place out here for a reception venue called the Hotel Baker. It has a room called the Rainbow Room which features a glass tiled floor with lights underneath and the ceiling opens up very high. It's a beautiful venue and if I ever were getting married out here, I would choose this venue hands-down. We're going to get married in Connecticut though.Congrats!

I have never heard of the company and think you may well have lost your money my friend. Get onto Glasgow Council via the web and see if anyone there can check it out for you. Failing that send an email to the Glasgow Police and ask them to check for you. Never ever send money before you have checked and re-checked the facts.
Go onto the Web - Internet and put in Glasgow Town Council - 0r - Glasgow Police Headquarters and some addresses should come up. Not sure if you will get an email address but should have an address you can write to. Good luck.
I'm sorry to say, but you have been scammed my friend.

For a destination wedding, do you hire a caterer located where you live or one located where the wedding is?
I'm having a destination wedding and I'm confused about the catering...
Hiring a caterer that is located where my wedding is would make sense, but it'd cost a lot of money to fly over there multiple times just to consult with the caterer in-person. But if I hire a caterer that's located where I live, would they be able to fly to my wedding destination?
Thanks so much!For a destination wedding, do you hire a caterer located where you live or one located where the wedding is?
You hire a caterer where the wedding is - how do you expect your local caterer to get over there with all the food??
You either go on the advice of others when choosing a destination caterer and hope for the best, or your fly out there ONCE for a tasting. The rest of the consulting can happen via phone and email.
For our destination wedding in France, we hired a caterer there and went there once for a tasting.
You absolutely HAVE to hire a caterer at your chosen destination. Why would you not? They know the local foods, etc. A caterer where you live would (1) have to be flown over early (costly); and (2) not know where to obtain the foods, etc., and (3) not know the location/destination at all.
Many people that have destination weddings do not go to the destination/location until about a week before the wedding. So much can be done via cell phones, email, skype, etc. that there really is no need to meet with your caterer multiple times.For a destination wedding, do you hire a caterer located where you live or one located where the wedding is?
Dear God Almighty. Is this a serious question?
Oh yeah, the local cater would certainly prepare all the food for your wedding guests and then fly it in coolers, along with all of the plates and serving dishes to your destination wedding. Are you for real?? How much, exactly do you think that would cost you??
NO, No, no, a million times NO. You do not hire a local caterer for your destination wedding. That is like having a destination wedding and then flying back to your home town to sleep in a hotel.
You hire someone where the wedding is to prepare and serve the food.
This is a joke question, isn't it?
No dear, you don't hire vendors where you live. You hire vendors in the city where you're getting married. That's also where you get your marriage license, not from city hall at home. You need to search on weddingwire.com for caterers located where you're getting married, same for your photog, DJ, florist etc. I got married 5 hours from where I live last year and spent hours on the phone talking to vendors and interviewing them before I hired anyone. There's no reason you need to consult with a caterer multiple times before the wedding, just plan to make one trip to the area to meet with them and anyone else you want to hire so you can meet them in person before paying a deposit.
You can't bring a caterer with you from home, because once they arrive they won't have a place to cook or know where to buy your food!
You hire a caterer in the location that you are having the wedding. Caterers have to be licensed food handlers in most, if not all states, and few are licensed outside of their state of residence.
That said, if you live in NYC or NJ and are getting married in FL, there are caterers who are licensed for both states as they often fly down to cater parties for the wealthy. They have kitchen facilities already arranged, so not a problem.
We had our wedding in Alabama, from Iowa. We got all of our vendors from Alabama: caterer, florist, photographer, baker etc etc etc.
First, i did research on the local vendors. Decided which fit our general needs. Then i called each with a list of questions and narrowed it down to 2 vendors from each "category". We had to go to look at venues anyway. So we went for a week...made initial appointments with all of the vendors we were seriously thinking about and made our final decision for each at the end of that week. After that, we made one last appointment with each of our "finals" and went over the basics of what we wanted. They were very good at getting where we were coming from. From there, we did all of our interaction by email or phone call. We went down one other time about a month before our wedding so, at that point, we checked in with each to make sure everything was on track. But everything really went off without a hitch regardless of being a destination wedding.
Your caterer should be based where the wedding is taking place. Otherwise, how are they supposed to cater a wedding if they're thousands of miles from their kitchen and suppliers and staff?
When you have a destination wedding, you may not be able to speak to every vendor in person. Fortunately, there are these things called "phones" and "email" that allow you to communicate with people in distant locations. I highly recommend giving those a try.
Uh yeah, if you think it through, there's only one option. But I don't get why you'd have to have face to face consultations with the caterer. I had a fairly large destination wedding in Lake Tahoe, and we did everything over the phone. I knew how to get a top notch recommendation, of course, but after that I didn't meet him until the day of the wedding.
We are having destination wedding. I have spent countless hours online, on the phone talking to caterers, florist, the local chamber of congress etc.
We are planning our wedding 110% using review sites, %26amp; hoping that all my planning pays off. We won't be in the area until 1 day before our wedding! I am not going threw a hotel or wedding planner. The price on that was almost double what we are paying. I have sent 200 emails to the florist making sure everything was perfect %26amp; we aren't done yet. I talk to the man that is going to marry us about once a month. He has also been a big help in finding people in the area to help us.
You can not hire a cater where you. Even if they were able to fly there. You would paying for that! %26amp; where would they make the food? Here then fly it keeping it warm? That would cost way to much money if any one even go for it.
If your this stupid you need to talk to a hotel or a wedding planner about planning your whole wedding. Your not responsible enough to plan a destination wedding on your own!
One of the best ways to go is to hire a wedding planner that specializes in destination weddings. Get one that is familiar with your destination and they will know what caterers to trust and probably be able to save you quite a bit of money too.
HIre a local caterer, they will have everything they need to cook, serve, clean up, etc. Otherwise you're paying for rentals. Go online and find a couple of caterers and try to get some recommendations. If you're having your wedding a hotel beach or something, they will / can provide the catering for you.
I would hire a caterer at the destination and instead of paying to travel, I would pay to make sure they're a trained professional with lots of experience and perfect reviews. Then all consultations can be done through phone and email.
Common sense would dictate hiring a caterer near the vicinity of your destination wedding. That's what my sister did. Got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and hired a local caterer.
If you have enough money, yes they can/will fly to your destination (celebrities and millionaires do it all the time). But it will cost you a lot.
I would say hire someone from where the wedding is. Closer to the location is always better
you dont need to talk to ya caterer in person, but if ya feel that ya do. it would cost less to fly ya caterer once. if ya can afford it, get him/her a room, for a day or 2, so it wud be a mini vaca.

When a wedding venue says "Preferred Caterers" Does that mean I have to use one on the list?
When I think of perferrred I think that means "suggested"...maybe they have worked with them in the past.
The paperwork sounds like you have to use them...but the list says Preferred!When a wedding venue says "Preferred Caterers" Does that mean I have to use one on the list?
You don't have to use anyone of the preferred or recommended list. This is a list of vendors that your venue has worked with many times in the past and has had good success with this vendor.
I would absolutely look at them, but do not feel obligated to use them.
We hated all the bands that my venue suggested, and instead found another one
your best bet would be to call and ask them. if someone told me preferred, then i would think i could use whichever one i wanted, even if it wasn't on the list. but, better safe than sorry.When a wedding venue says "Preferred Caterers" Does that mean I have to use one on the list?
it sounds like you have to use one of them... but you can just ask the place...
Preferred caterers means that the hall has worked with them in the past and they most likely have a business arrangement set up with the hall. The preferred caterers may pass on a discount to you (or a kick back to the hall). They may have a level of professionalism that the hall likes to maintain. I would call the hall and double check what their "preferred" criteria includes and what their expectations are. Better to find out now.
Sometimes this is the "nice" way that the venue says you have to use their caterer list. If your contract says you have to use a caterer off their list, then you have to. Even if it says "preferred".
It stinks and is sneaky, but it's how they do it.
if your wedding is a big one like more than 150 people it matters, they are going to ask more requisites from the caterers that you pick.
in other words they make it easier for the "preferred caterers",
it's that persons preference but not required
if it was required they would have said so
No, i just went through this.... They are just helping you out so you don't have to run around like a chicken with your head cut off looking for reliable caterers/vendors. Those caterers have done work with the venue before so that would be a good choice since they know how the venue operates.
All it means is that the place has worked with these caters in the past and they did a really good job. However, to be on the safe side I would still ask the hall manager.
Phone them up and tell them exactly who you want to do the catering, these preferred caterers are just on the wedding day gravy train, you can guarantee they will be more expensive !
If you're not clear about a clause in any contract, ask what this means. Preferred means these are companies they have either worked with them in the past - or are somehow affiliated with their parent company - or are "connected" with them in some other way.
It also allows you to insist on using a different caterer - but that privilege may come with an extra fee.
But always ask for clarification. If "preferred" means that you are required to work with one of these vendors - then make sure it's crystal clear from the get-go.
Same with florists, DJs, Bartenders, etc. etc. etc. etc.
If you don't know what something means, ask. Always ask.
Some places give you a list of preferred vendors as a suggestion. Other places give you a list of preferred vendors because those are the only ones that they will allow in their facility.
The best way to find out is to call the reception venue. You may also want to find out if they have any other "preferred" vendors. You wouldn't want to book your photographer, florist or DJ only to find out they are not allowed in that facility.
No! they are just saying if u want to use one they perfer that u use one on the list.
"Preferred" just means that the venue has worked with this Caterer in the past and "prefers" that you use them. You don't have to, but you may want to consider using one of the preferred caterers because #1 they are being recommended by the venue owner/manager which means that they are probably good and #2 you will sometimes get discounts on a cake or on the bar if you do use a preferred vendor.
In this instance, it usually means "use one of these". But the term "preferred" makes me think that if you approach the venue they may consider another.
Usually they have a "preferred" list because both venue %26amp; caterer already have shown proof of insurance coverage and they have worked together in the past.
Generally, "preferred" means they work with these caterers a lot and have a good working relationship with them. These caterers probably know all of the rules and the ins-and-outs of working in that particular venue. Most of the time this does not mean you have to use them, but I would check with the venue just to clarify. If you choose not to use one of them, you may have to have a meeting with your caterer and your venue host together to iron out any details. Definitely clarify with the venue.traffic cameras sonic electronix

How many people should we tell the caterer are coming to the wedding?
Right now there are 86 people confirmed, but we have a pretty good sense that six of them might not show up. The dinner is buffet style, so either way there will be ample food for all. Would we be wrong to tell the caterer 80 people are attending?How many people should we tell the caterer are coming to the wedding?
You never wanna say less because they might give you small portions. It's always better to say more people. I would tell them 90 people, just in case cuz it won't look good if you run out of food.
Why on earth would anyone RSVP "yes" and not come? I think you need to trust them at their word and tell the caterer 86. If they then fail to show for no reason, let them know their behaviour was rude next time you see them.
EDIT: I realise last minute illness happens, but I am guessing we are talking at least 5 days before the wedding, not a day-of-the-wedding medical emergency. If there is an illness or emergency, these 6 people should still let you know. Perhaps you can even phone them. If it is a very serious or tragic emergency then it's not appropriate to phone, and you've just got to cater for them, because it would be most embarassing if they came and there wasn't a place for them.How many people should we tell the caterer are coming to the wedding?
Even though it is buffet style, some things like hor'deourves the caterers do count out two a piece per person kind of deal and charge you for this. Six people may be the difference between one more chicken breast being cooked, or how many heads of asparagus there will be. Caterers do try to accommodate for more than the expected number incase Aunt Joan who said she was coming alone decides to bring the guy she met last week, but it's always best to give the exact number of yes replies. Don't assume cause then it could make an awkward situation if for somethings they are short. Also with place settings six people is almost another full table. So I would give the exact amount.
Tell them that you have 86 Expected, and a guarantee of 80. Tell them what you told us. If they are good at what they do, they will be prepared for more than 86 (usually 5% over that). They will know what to do, they handle this all the time.
If you tell them 80, then the problem might be not the amount of food. If those 6 people do show up, where will they sit? Will they have a table?
How is the caterer charging for the buffet? If it's per person, maybe say 83? Split the difference? I've heard horror stories of caterers flipping out because more people showed up than they were planning for. It might be good to just explain that you expect 80 but there are 6 more who are iffy and see what they suggest.
Remember, the caterer isn't just being greedy. If the available food seems skimpy for the crowd involved and someone asks who catered the event, it could affect future business. People talk. Especially when they can be critical.
For the woman who dont understand why they would say yes, and not come.... Unfortunately people RSVP to events and do not show up. I did such a thing just this weekend. I had knee surgery, and I had planned on doing way better with the surgery than I am doing. I was just in too much pain to go to the wedding.
If you are being charged by the plate for food, give them the number you have confirmed. If you do not and they all show anyway, you run the risk of not having enough food.
You cater always for the amount of people invited, not a speculation number. While some people don't show up who RSVP yes, some people do show up who didn't RSVP at all.
If 86 are confirmed I would actually go above that number, to like 90 or 95.
Buffet doesn't mean ample or endless food.
Buffet will still be a buffet for the amount of people you have paid for and you could run out and not have enough for everyone (uber embarrassing)
It's better to have leftovers than not enough food. Tell the caterer that 86 are confirmed.
Tell the caterer how many have confirmed, an experienced caterer can make adjustments.
probably not - even if all 86 showed up unless a lot of people totally pig out you should have enough food
You never wanna say less because they might give you small portions. It's always better to say more people. I would tell them 90 people, just in case cuz it won't look good if you run out of food.

Remember, the caterer isn't just being greedy. If the available food seems skimpy for the crowd involved and someone asks who catered the event, it could affect future business. People talk. Especially when they can be critical.
For the woman who dont understand why they would say yes, and not come.... Unfortunately people RSVP to events and do not show up. I did such a thing just this weekend. I had knee surgery, and I had planned on doing way better with the surgery than I am doing. I was just in too much pain to go to the wedding.
If you are being charged by the plate for food, give them the number you have confirmed. If you do not and they all show anyway, you run the risk of not having enough food.
You cater always for the amount of people invited, not a speculation number. While some people don't show up who RSVP yes, some people do show up who didn't RSVP at all.
If 86 are confirmed I would actually go above that number, to like 90 or 95.
Buffet doesn't mean ample or endless food.
Buffet will still be a buffet for the amount of people you have paid for and you could run out and not have enough for everyone (uber embarrassing)
It's better to have leftovers than not enough food. Tell the caterer that 86 are confirmed.
Tell the caterer how many have confirmed, an experienced caterer can make adjustments.
probably not - even if all 86 showed up unless a lot of people totally pig out you should have enough food
Questions to ask a caterer for a wedding reception?
We are planning on meeting with caterers beginning next week for our wedding reception.....what questions should we ask?
-Besides, the obvious questions such as the prices and types of food.
-Any answers due to experience would help.Questions to ask a caterer for a wedding reception?
Are the caterers providing more than just food, like dishes, glasses, flatware? What do they look like? Glass or plastic?
Do they guarantee hot food will be hot? Plate waited or buffet? How many staff provided (figure out how many that is per table or the guest/staff ratio) You will want to see and taste actual samples, not see "representative" pictures so you can judge both the quality and the quantity of food. What time will they arrive? Get the name of the person who will be in charge at your reception. If there's a problem, you don't want to be trying to reach somebody at an office that closed an hour before the wedding started.
Some caterers don't allow you to have "leftovers" - check with them about that. Some people have counted on having them for the next day at the gift opening, then found they couldn't get them.Questions to ask a caterer for a wedding reception?
I'm sure you will find that the caterers will tell you everything you need to know and provide answers to your questions. They usually give you a printed sheet of everything that is included in the cost. If you think of anything later you can always ring them up and ask. You don't necessarily have to think of everything on your first meeting.
besides the obvious, ask how long they will need to set-up, how much staff is included with the package, obviously any cancellation information, ask them for some references from other weddings they have done (and call and check those references - ask what they liked the best and worst and an overall opinion). Find out if they are open to preparing any of your family recipes - that might be a nice touch to have one thing from each of your families served.
You'll be fine, they do this a lot - they'll have a routine and it will roll out just fine!
Congratulations %26amp; good luck!
make sure all the details are in writing, you know, what kind of food, what time they will be there, how long they will be there; what happens if you need to cancel ...what besides food are they providing; don't assume anything......
-if you are going to have candles will they light them before you arrive?
- are they putting up a sign to direct your guests where to go? if so make sure they know how to spell your name!!!
-does anyone attending have an allergy to any food or any special dietry requirements? make sure they know !!
-Can you set up the day/night before?
-if it's raining can you hold the ceremony at the reception venue?
-is there easy access to the outdoors for smokers?
-will they let you come back the next day to pick up your centrepieces or will you have to take them on the wedding night?
-when will the dj or band be able to set up?
-what will be in the room on the night?
-how will they set out the tables?
-How many people will fit at a table?
-Can they show you pictures from a wedding of similar size held at the venue? can you contact other people who have had their recptions there?

Bakers / restauarant owners, caterers?
I was thinkng of opening my own catering business and / or small bistro (nothing big) after culinary school. Any suggestions?? Anyone doing this now?
Thanks!Bakers / restauarant owners, caterers?
I have always wanted to open something like that - been a dream of mine forever - bakery or catering or even a restaurant. I never went to school, I can just cook real good naturally. It is my talent and runs in the family. I am real good at just throwing things together and making it up as I go.
Good luck to you for following your dream. If I had the money and no-how, I would too.
Where are you located at. The first thing that you will want to do is find out if your area can handle another restaurant. If there are none in your area that is anything like you want to do, then go for it, and give it a try. Make sure that you advertise really well before you open. Explain what you have, what your services will be etc etc
I am getting ready to start my own bakery, and it is tough.
good luck to you...Bakers / restauarant owners, caterers?
I would reccomend that the first thing you should do is scout your location and then open a catering buisness, lower overhead Good Luck

How much do you pay your caterer in advance?
I am planning my wedding and am meeting with our caterer soon. We haven't discussed payment yet and I wanted to get an idea of the general practice with paying a caterer for a wedding. Is there usually a downpayment, or...? If so, how much? Or does it really vary?
Thanks in advance.How much do you pay your caterer in advance?
I paid all up front. remember it insures quality service when you pay upfront cause then they owe you service. And that put pressure on them o perform better.How much do you pay your caterer in advance?
its usually a $1000 deposit, but different companies might have different policies.

Looking for a caterers in/near Alexandria Bay, NY for Sept 2008 Reception?
We're planning a Sept 2008 Wedding at Boldt Castle. We would like to have a casual BBQ after. We are not sure on the location yet, will be looking at renting out some cottages and having an outdoor reception. We are open to ideas, but are also looking for vendors. Or other ideas or locations in the area. Most of our guests will be coming from the Buffalo area.
Other important details: We are footing the bill ourselfs, planning on no more than 70 guests, and love the outdoors and water. I figure if we have an outdoor wedding, we should be able to save on the bar bill by purchasing booze on our own.
I would like to have wine/champange and cake on the boat ride back from the castle and maybe a couple dances - when we get off the boat- we can all let our hair down and relax.
Any suggestions or contacts would be great. We are planning on visiting the area July 6-8, 2007 to scout things out. Thanks!Looking for a caterers in/near Alexandria Bay, NY for Sept 2008 Reception?
If you are looking for excellent BBQ, you can get it at the Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse, NY. They do catering. It's definitly worth a call to find out more. Their pulled pork sandwiches and ribs are to die for!!Looking for a caterers in/near Alexandria Bay, NY for Sept 2008 Reception?
I can't help you, but I wish you the best of luck.

Sounds like great times and I wish you the best.

I've had good food at weddings/events at the following reception venues that also self-cater:
Shannon's in Atco
Venice Plaza in Berlin
The Mansion in Voorhees
Scottland Run Country Club in Williamstown
Lucien's Manor in Berlin
Tomasello Winery in Hammonton
I had horrible food at Indian Spring Country Club in Marlton and The Merion in Cinnaminson.
For stand-alone catering I had a great experience with Elite in Voorhees, if you live in the area call and do their wedding experience, it was awesome! They pick you up in a limo and take you to their hall and serve you and give you roses and stuff, tons of fun - and free! Summitt Catering does great work with buffet and sit down and they work at various venues in the South Jersey area.

I need insurance for caterers and / or personal chef service. Where can i get it?
When purchasing insurance for a personal chef business, keep in mind that insurance companies do NOT distinguish between catering and personal chefs.
You should speak with a local independent insurance agent. Find a company that has access to Hartford or possibly Travelers. depending on your state, these two companies would probably be most likely to help you out.
Good luck to you!I need insurance for caterers and / or personal chef service. Where can i get it?
You need to talk to a local, independent agent. Most business insurance, you can't buy directly like you can car insurance.
You need an agent to shop it out for you. You can find a local agent at www.iiaa.org

Is there a such thing as a caterer who will prepare my own recipes?
I am hosting an 80th Birthday party for my grandmother and I thought it would be really special if I had all the food that we serve be from her very own recipes. I was considering cooking it all myself, but I have a busy schedule and it would just be easier to leave the cooking and set up/clean up to a caterer. So does anyone know if there are caterers who will cook recipes that I provide? Thanks.Is there a such thing as a caterer who will prepare my own recipes?
as long as you are willing to pay, you call the shots. Only the items YOU ask for should be on the menu.Is there a such thing as a caterer who will prepare my own recipes?
yes you will have to sit this up with them in advance,usually they wil charge a little fee . Good luck

Reasonable, Licensed Caterers In Birmingham, Al?
I am getting married September 1, 2007, we took the smart route and started planning early but we only have a $1500 budget for food to serve 100-150 people. Does anyone no of some one who would work with this budget. It would be buffet style so we would'nt need alot of servers.Reasonable, Licensed Caterers In Birmingham, Al?
That's only $10 per person, which is almost impossible for any good caterer to do. You probably need to rethink your budget so that you either can afford more per guest or cut your invitation list.
Good luck and best wishes on your wedding.channel 5 weather bloons tower defense 2

When is the right time to start looking for a caterer?
I'm getting married September 5, 2010. We were supposed to be getting married this year, but had to push it to next year due to financial difficulties. What time frame is good to start looking for caterers? How far in advance should you start looking?When is the right time to start looking for a caterer?
As soon as you get your venues booked. Make sure that they offer a tasting before you book them. If they don't, then run fast. Otherwise, you will be locked into a contract that you can't get out of if the tasting isn't to your satisfaction.
Go ahead and start looking now. September is a popular time for weddings so caterer availability will start getting booked NOWWhen is the right time to start looking for a caterer?
The sooner the better. You can't have it booked too early.
My wedding is Aug 14, 2010 and I have my caterer booked already. It doesnt hurt to book now, just look around for the best as you have enough time
ASAP. Caterers book quickly, a year or more in advance is not uncommon.
Good luck!

Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?
I'm a great cook and taking a stab at catering a small wedding of 60. It's going to be mexican food, rice beans, enchiladas, carnitas, fruit salad, flan, a mexican ceasar, and maybe tamales. What would you charge per a person. It's buffet also.Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?
i would do it for $15-$20 per person. mexican food is generally pretty cheap. think about when you go to a mexican restaurant. it's never $30 for a meal!
This is a hard question to answer and one that you need to look at in light of many different factors. How much will the food cost per serving? What else will you need in order to cater this wedding? (serving trays, utensils, etc.) Will you be including a fee for your attendance at the wedding to ensure food is served as it should be? There are many factors to look at before a "per person" charge can be assessed. i think you should sit down and budget a lot of these factors and that should give you a reasonable answer. Per-Person fees can range anywhere from $6 for a small appetizer party to $100 and above for a full dinner.Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?
Wow! Good Luck!!
Typically buffets are less expensive than served meals, but I would say you have alot of work cut out for you. I would first make a plan. Scope your your supplies and figure out how much the food will cost just to buy it! Then look at how much the supplies are going to be to prepare the food (if special things are required). I would then figure out about how much work and preparation it would take for you to prepare each course. If you yourself are going to do it or if you are going to have to pay for people to help you. All of these things you should consider when charging the entire cost.
For me to put a dollar amount on the actual meal is hard. I would guess you could probably do... between 25 and 30 per plate. And that's just a guess! It would depend on the ingredients that you would use.
Call around to other local caterers and check their pricing. Not ask them what they would charge, but give them what you want and see if they could give you an estimate and you could ballpark yours around theres.
I hope this helps!! Good Luck sounds yummy!! :)
well you want to be paid to figure out how much food you will need and tripple it say each person will eat or be given 10 dollars each of food charge 30.
but just enchaladas flan rice fruit salad i would say about 25.00 will cover it all very non expensive foods you can also ask her she can buy all the food and you will charge 100 dollars to cook it all up on that day
Figure out how much it actually costs you to make all that; then figure out how long it'll take you to make it and approximate how much your time is worth; figure out the cost of serving trays and delivery costs, attendants for the buffet lines, etc.; and add it all up to get a base cost. Then add some extra so you actually make a profit.
$15-$20 per person, all of that food is pretty cheap to make and is not that difficult. I don't think anyone would pay more than that for that kind of a menu anyways.
How many servers do you have? Does it include bar? Does it include linens and plates...silverware... cost of food?
20 - 25 per person... assuming you will have some finger food snacks as well. Chips and dips, cheese and crackers...jet ski flight simulator games

There are many factors to look at before a "per person" charge can be assessed. i think you should sit down and budget a lot of these factors and that should give you a reasonable answer. Per-Person fees can range anywhere from $6 for a small appetizer party to $100 and above for a full dinner.Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?
Wow! Good Luck!!
Typically buffets are less expensive than served meals, but I would say you have alot of work cut out for you. I would first make a plan. Scope your your supplies and figure out how much the food will cost just to buy it! Then look at how much the supplies are going to be to prepare the food (if special things are required). I would then figure out about how much work and preparation it would take for you to prepare each course. If you yourself are going to do it or if you are going to have to pay for people to help you. All of these things you should consider when charging the entire cost.
For me to put a dollar amount on the actual meal is hard. I would guess you could probably do... between 25 and 30 per plate. And that's just a guess! It would depend on the ingredients that you would use.
Call around to other local caterers and check their pricing. Not ask them what they would charge, but give them what you want and see if they could give you an estimate and you could ballpark yours around theres.
I hope this helps!! Good Luck sounds yummy!! :)
well you want to be paid to figure out how much food you will need and tripple it say each person will eat or be given 10 dollars each of food charge 30.
but just enchaladas flan rice fruit salad i would say about 25.00 will cover it all very non expensive foods you can also ask her she can buy all the food and you will charge 100 dollars to cook it all up on that day
Figure out how much it actually costs you to make all that; then figure out how long it'll take you to make it and approximate how much your time is worth; figure out the cost of serving trays and delivery costs, attendants for the buffet lines, etc.; and add it all up to get a base cost. Then add some extra so you actually make a profit.
$15-$20 per person, all of that food is pretty cheap to make and is not that difficult. I don't think anyone would pay more than that for that kind of a menu anyways.
How many servers do you have? Does it include bar? Does it include linens and plates...silverware... cost of food?
20 - 25 per person... assuming you will have some finger food snacks as well. Chips and dips, cheese and crackers...
Anybody ever heard of Junior's Restaraunt and Caterers out of New York?
How's their cheesecake?Anybody ever heard of Junior's Restaraunt and Caterers out of New York?
They have really famous cheesecake, but to be honest, I've had better - I've made better. The one I bought from them once was a bit crusty on top, a bit dry, and very overly priced.
The actual flavor was pretty good, but the other qualities made me not want to buy another.
Many people swear by them, but I can get better in the grocery store.
I love Junior's--it's famous for its cheesecake, but they do have restaurants.
The original is located in Brooklyn and they have locations in Grand Central and one in Times Square (this one has a restaurant too).
I think their cheesecake is delicious. I love their tiramisu cheesecake.Anybody ever heard of Junior's Restaraunt and Caterers out of New York?
yum. juniors is good. i haven't had their cheesecake. but i've had their burgers and ice cream
The original cheese cake is excellent, the other varieties/flavors are nothing special.
I've had the cheese cake shipped to me in New Hampshire and I've been to their restaurants in NYC.
UMMMM, pastrami on rye, dill pickle, cole slaw, Dr Browns Cel Ray soda. A big piece of chz cake. Way to gooooo!!!
They do not have any appreciable presence in Montana!
Just yesterday I saw a Bobby Flay Throw down on the Food Network. It was at Junior's. The cheesecake looked wonderful. I like plain cheesecake. Nothing on it. Maybe the ones your mom sends you drys out on route.
I have eaten at Junior's and their desserts are just okay. I am not a big fan of cheesecake, but I will admit, I tired a bit at The Cheesecake Factory - theirs was way much better than Junior's. There's one located in Westchester, I think if you try it you'd like it, plus their menu is great!

Does anybody know of a reception hall/venue where you are able to have your own caterers?
Anywhere in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and North London (and outskirts)
Many thanks! :o)Does anybody know of a reception hall/venue where you are able to have your own caterers?
Any hall you rent will allow you to use the caterers of your choice if they do not provide a catering service. Check into local halls, VFW, or churches. If you go to a hotel or convention type site, they will most likely provide catering services and require that you use theirs.
Most places let you bring your own caterers in, you just pay to hire the hall usuallyDoes anybody know of a reception hall/venue where you are able to have your own caterers?
Unless you are renting out a church or private hall I think its unlikely that you will be able to provide your own caterers because of the health %26amp; safety regulations. The best thing to do is probably make a shortlist of all the places you are interested in then speak to them personally, if they can't help they might be able to suggest somewhere you can use.
have you thought about using the church hall ,if you are using a church ,i know now days wedding aren't sometimes held in them .but if you are , ask and see if it is acceptable for use , or you could just plan your caterer, and ask them if they have access to halls ,i work for a wedding planner here in Georgia , and we have access to several places , call and ask if they do ,it could solve the problem and cause less stress..good luck
ANY local hall/venue will allow you to have your own caterers!! Use your local Yellow Pages or Yell.com.

Why have an approved caterer list for a venue?
I've noticed that many venues that host special events have an "approved caterer list" and if you do not use one of those caterers, they can charge you a fee or refuse to host your event. Why is this? I guess I can see some benefits, but I'm not getting the whole picture. Also, what would be some drawbacks of doing this?Why have an approved caterer list for a venue?
To land a spot on an approved caterer list, a company usually has to prove to the venue that they are properly licensed, insured, and have not had any problems with the local health department. But the truth is, there could be any number of reasons of why a company got on an “approved” vendor list.
Before using any catering company (approved list or otherwise) do your own homework: check with the health department, make sure they are licensed and insured in your area, taste their menu options to be sure you and your guests will enjoy the food, and be sure to get some local, recent references (other than the venue that is recommending them).Why have an approved caterer list for a venue?
It will probably be the venues have trusted caterers, using their premises and not people who will not clean up afterwards and that kind of thing.
A drawback could be that those on the approved list may not be able to provide some menu items that you particularly want at your event.

I've been having so much trouble with our caterers!?
Okay, so my fiance and I booked these caterers because they did his Mom's wedding a few years ago and she said they were really good. Well, they're really hard to work with. In the last few months I have left them e-mails and messages and they never get back to me. Should I fire them?I've been having so much trouble with our caterers!?
if they're nonresponsive now, imagine how they'll be when it's closer to your wedding. if you haven't paid them any deposits, send them a letter that their services are no longer needed due to the fact their customer service sucks. if you have paid a deposit with them, then send someone over to see them in person and find out why they're not responding to you. since you're 8 hours away, you'll have to find an emissary in the area who can pay them a visit so the caterer knows you will not be ignored!I've been having so much trouble with our caterers!?
Yes but first contact them and let them know that because of the lack of professionalism and communication with their clientele you will have no choice but to hire another catering company.Also be clear in saying that you are very disappointed with their lack of service and commitment and you will not be recommending them in the future.
This will guarantee a call back with a discount if they value anything about their reputation!

Here's what you can do for any medium-sized town. Find out the phone #s of a couple of big churches. Phone some church secretaries and ask which ones have pleased the brides they've seen. If they don't know, the organist will.
Hey, I used Katie's Cakes and Catering for both cake and catering out of Havana. That's not exactly Valdosta, but I used her and I'm over in Tallahassee. She was amazing and the cake was SO beautiful.
Have you tried theknot.com ? This is a very helpful wedding website. In their "Talk" section, they have local boards for cities. See if there's a board for your area, or close to it. Then try posting on the board for help. I use a Florida board on that website to help with planning my wedding, and I don't know what I'd do without it :-)Anyone know of any caterers, florists, etc..In the Valdosta/Tifton GA area?

Call your favorite bbq restaurant. Most places like that do catering for events and are much cheaper than a wedding caterer. Does anybody know of any good bbq caterers that would do our meat for our wedding in November 08, Dallas.?
County Line is awsome. They are in Garland, but might cater in Duncanville. It's worth calling them. 972-278-4227
Or try Pappas BBQ. They are quality as well. Their location is west of Lovefield.
Our work uses Dickey's for all of their catering. They always do a good job.
