If you are hosting a corporate event, gala, wedding, party or any other social function, you’re going to want to feed your friends or colleagues well. That said, there are many misconceptions out there about catered events. We’re here to dispel a few of those myths and give you peace of mind about your catering decisions!
Myth: Catering an event is simple, so I can do it myself. There are so many aspects to catering an event, it would be impossible to list them all. Good caterers have lots of experience with planning food quantities, the intricacies of serving efficiently, timing dishes so they’re warm or cold as needed and more. Caterers are familiar with venues, so they’ll know how to set things up for maximum flow and how to operate equipment on site. Trust their expertise.
Myth: Plated dinners always cost more than buffets and buffets always cost more than appetizers. The type of cuisine and ingredients selected will be the major determining factors in your cost. A plated dinner with a protein like chicken or beef and sides will cost less than a lobster buffet or caviar appetizers, obviously! Some things to consider: plated dinners allow your servers to have more portion control rather than buffets where diners often scoop up more than they will eat and could go back for seconds. You may need a bit more staff to help with a plated dinner. Hosts often choose a combination of a plated entree or one dished up at a station by a server along with a salad and sides buffet.
Myth: Catered food doesn’t taste very good. If your caterer doesn’t cut corners on food quality and freshness, your event will boast delicious, flavorful food you’ll be proud to serve to your nearest and dearest.
