If you’re planning your wedding, you’ve probably already realized that one of the most important decisions (and also one of the most uncertain) is how to choose the perfect caterer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n And no wonder: catering not only represents the biggest part of the budget, but it also marks the gastronomic experience of your big day. A smooth, delicious and well-served meal can be the key for your guests to remember your wedding as unforgettable<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n After talking to you on the blog about how to choose a photographer for your wedding<\/em>, today I want to help you with another crucial topic: the catering for your wedding<\/strong>. It’s not about telling you which one is the best, because that will depend on your style and your priorities, but I can give you a list of key questions<\/strong> you should ask to make the right choice.<\/p>\n\n Here is a practical guide with everything you should take into account to choose a caterer without surprises:<\/p>\n\n It seems obvious, but it is not. In addition, many venues require it so that the caterer can work there.<\/p>\n\n In the event of a labor inspection, a caterer without legally contracted staff could make your day.<\/p>\n\n The ideal is 1 waiter for every 10 guests<\/strong>. More is a luxury, less can slow down the service.<\/p>\n\n From the time guests are seated until dessert (not counting surprises or speeches), the ideal time is between 1.5 and 2 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n That person knows your history and preferences. Having her with you on your wedding day is a great peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n A wedding requires dedication. Make sure you are not “just another one”.<\/p>\n\n Bottles on table or waiter service? There is no right option, but the one that fits you best.<\/p>\n\n Do you work with a fixed staff or with new teams each time? The team’s experience makes the difference.<\/p>\n\n Not just food and drink. Ask for table linen, glassware, chairs, tableware, floral centerpieces… And ask for real pictures!<\/p>\n\n Some caterers charge a small fee for the tasting. Normal. The important thing is to be able to test it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n If you already have favorite suppliers or family gifts, ask if they accept outside products and if there are service charges (such as corkage).<\/p>\n\n And if there are fewer of you, how much does the menu per person go up?<\/p>\n\n Beyond prices, menus and timing, feeling is key<\/strong>. If you feel listened to, comfortable, and speak the same language as your caterer, you’ve found the one!<\/p>\n\n And remember: in Seville we have excellent wedding caterers<\/strong>, professionals who will make your celebration a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n\n Negotiate yes, bargain no. If the rate does not fit your budget, try to find an alternative within the same provider, but value their professionalism<\/strong>. Remember: your wedding is a unique event.<\/p>\n\n If after reading this guide you have any doubts, and you don’t have a wedding planner to advise you, write to me without obligation<\/strong>. I will be happy to help you find the perfect caterer for your big day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re planning your wedding, you’ve probably already realized that one of the most important decisions (and also one of the most uncertain) is how to choose the perfect caterer.
