A meal is an opportunity to bring guests together for a culinary experience and a chance to make a statement at your event. Choosing your caterer is as important as your keynote speaker and more important than the centrepiece. Sub-standard catering due to budget restraints can have a huge impact on your event. You need a caterer you can trust, who is passionate about food, explores cultural trends and can provide fun, interactive food and beverage ideas.
Make finding the right caterer the first thing you think about when working out your budget, not the last. Don’t ‘guess’ what your food and beverage budget is going to be. Get quotes, work it into your budget, then set your ticket price. You want your guests to be asking who the caterer is, not complaining they didn’t get value for money.
Guests are never aware of the food and beverage budget. The only thing they are aware of is that they paid $xx for their ticket and they want value for that. This perceived value is always reflected in the food, beverage, and service standard, not the flowers and balloons. Yes, styling and presentation is important however food, beverage and service should be the main event. Think about conversations you have with people after they have attended an event. I can guarantee it will be about the food, beverage, and service standard, not the decorations.
