Tips for Choosing a Caterer

Why would anyone settle for less?

The Outer Banks is a popular place for big events.  In fact, it is tailor made for weddings and parties.

When you have an important event coming up, how should you choose a caterer?

Here are a few tips:

• Experience.  How long have they been catering both large and small parties?
• Recommendations/Popularity. Are they the first choice for everyone else?  Do their past clients plan to use them in the future?
• Food Sources. Where do they acquire their raw ingredients?  The choice of food sources will be easily tasted in the finished product.
• Tastings. Do they offer the opportunity to taste the dishes before you make a final decision?
• Staffing. Do they offer a full staff?  Chefs and wait staff are a must, but what about the clean up?
• Clean up. You don’t want a dirty kitchen after the party.  Make sure this is part of your catering package.
• Is your party special to them? You don’t want a caterer who is just grinding out jobs.  Ask your prospective caterer exactly how they will make your party an event to remember.
• The unexpected. Can they handle any problems that occur?  Ask your caterer about problems they have had at past events and how they dealt with those problems.
• Backup. A backup service (usually a restaurant) will give them people and supplies to call on in case of an emergency.

Only use the best for your special occasion.  Remember, a great party will create memories for a lifetime.
