Are you planning your wedding? Are you working with a wedding planner? Are they insisting on working with professional caterers?
This can seem odd to those who may be looking for a lower-budget wedding but, when it comes to ensuring that your perfect day goes off without a hitch, your planner (or yourself) will want to have as much professional help as they/you can get.
So, what are the pros of working with professional caterers on your wedding day?
Good Food Means Happy Guests
You want your guests to be happy, so one reason to choose a professional caterer or social event catering team is that you can guarantee that the food will be delicious, as well as being arranged in such a way that will be visually pleasing, too.
This will make you and your partner happy, and it will prevent any grumpier guests in your families from complaining (hopefully)!
You Will Be Less Stressed
Whether you are working with a professional wedding planner, or you are going to take this task on yourself, you will likely be aware that there is a lot of stress that comes with planning your wedding.
By working with professional caterers you can save yourself a great deal of stress; they will be able to provide you with the food options, meaning you won’t have to choose them yourself, including any dietary-restricted foods for any vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free guests. This means you can focus on other aspects of your wedding, such as the dress or your venue.
They Are More Affordable Than You Might Think
It is easy and commonplace to assume that hiring a professional caterer for your wedding will make the price jump. However, it is more affordable than you think. As many people who work in the culinary field will know, professional caterers are able to get access to food items in bulk, which reduces the cost overall, which is then passed onto you as the customer. Many also offer food packages at set prices, which are also more affordable than planning an entire menu yourself, let alone buying all the ingredients!
They Have Professional Experience
Wedding planners are experts at planning a beautiful wedding reception. However, this does involve a lot of delegation to experts in different areas. A wedding planner will opt for the professionals in the area of the culinary arts, as well as floral arrangements, which means that you will get a professional experience when it comes to your wedding menu: from the cooking, to the presentation, and even to the serving (if you have enough of a budget).
So, it’s well worth the investment for a magical day, and even more so if you are looking for a specific menu for your wedding.
They Use The Best Ingredients
Have you ever heard of the saying that the best restaurants get the first pick? Granted, this is from a movie about a rat chef; however, there is a lot of truth to it.
If you are working with a professional caterer, either via a wedding planner or yourself, you will get access to the best ingredients (and usually at a lower cost). This is because professional caterers have contacts in the culinary world, which can provide them with the highest-quality ingredients to serve at your wedding. There certainly won’t be any reheated food items on your wedding menu!
