Your wedding is one of the happiest days of your life. You shouldn’t have to worry about all of the little details, including how to feed all of your guests. That is why hiring a wedding catering Tampa FL company is an important step in taking care of your guests and feeing them well on your special day.

Get Referrals
The easiest way to find the right caterer for your wedding is to ask your friends and family who they recommend. Even if you don’t have friends that have hired caterers for a wedding, they may have done so for another type of large event. They can tell you what options are available with each catering company and how easy it was to work your ideas into the menu.

Take a Taste Test
Caterers want to make sure that you are serving food that you and your guests will like. You can often schedule an appointment with a catering company so that you can taste the options they provide. This will help you decide which dishes you want served and if special dietary requests such as vegetarian or gluten-free options are available if needed.

Decide on Your Budget
A budget is the most important part of a wedding, and you need to understand what the costs associated with catering will be, including how much food will be needed and how many guests are likely to attend. Since catering often does not include the wedding cake, dessert or bar options, you will need to make sure that you have budgeted for the caterer, the bar and the baker separately. Once you know how much to have to spend, you can tailor your wedding menu based on the price you want to pay per guest.
