YOU MUST HIRE CATERING.

Listen, not to call anyone out, but your wedding planner/coordinator is NOT a caterer. We’re not licensed to deal with food and it’s NOT why you hire a planner.

We totally understand the need to save money. But you’re going to have catering dropped off for nearly two hundred people, you must hire catering and serving staff. There are so many other things we need to be doing while expert caterers are doing their thing.

What does a serving staff need to take care of when you’re just having food dropped off?

-Throwing linens
-Setting cutlery, napkins, flatware, glasses
-Setting up the buffet, including plates and sterno
-Replenishing food, plates, etc.
-Bussing tables
-Cutting cake and serving it
-Setting up dessert and coffee
-Taking out all trash
-Sweeping and mopping per venue instructions

Absolutely none of that is what we do. Please think it through before you decide not to hire an event caterer. We know price tags can be shocking but in the end, you may spend just as much hiring outside staff. Okay? Okay. Thank you.
