As your beloved caterer for the Halloween Party arrives, you think “Perfect! Just perfect!” Then you settle back into your stresses; possibly a miscarriage, heartbreak or the passing of a beloved spouse. You embrace the apron and phone to chat with others who are about to host parties in the next few months. You can do it.
Then word of mouth is spreading of the deviled eggs, scrumptious appetizers, and scrumptious desserts of your caterer. She’s a super star. Not your average gourmet but a princess in waiting. The caterer who knows how to make a chocolate frog face. A chocolate bear with two chocolate bars inside. Trees stuffed with marshmallows and chocolate behind them. Practically a elephant or donkey. (Not sure there’s a big elephant in the forest of chocolate) The caterer knows how to put everyone to bed. And wake up!
How can you hire a perfect caterer?
1. First consider your caterer when doing an online search. Part of doing a search is to check to see if the caterer has a website. Also, consider looking at completed programs. Evaluate well produced product photos and interviews of the caterer. Talk to your caterer at length. Find out what she learned from you, how you are incorporating all the elements of this party. Be sure to ask for references.
Entertainment
When you’re looking for entertainment, the things that show up in a search are the same things that you are looking for in the caterer. 1st decide what type of music you want to play. A really fun music option isBring it On.
2nd consider if the caterer is going to engage your guests in activities, and provide the music, drinks, mixing, etc. after the food is served. You’ll want to have the caterer take the responsibility for a host of the activities.
If the caterer is bringing in the food, it’s also a good to ask some questions, like:
– Will this be served hot. (Many catering companies specialize in hot food and allot moreWrong temperatures. It’s also so much fun to serve cold champagne and hors d’oeuvres in the form of a wieners stick.)
– Ask what reheats are included, (Pantello, sauces, etc.)
– Ask what you’ll be serving in the dessert, if any: Chips, pretzels, etc.
– Remember to ask about the number of people in the catering company and how many different items are in total allowed per person. Problems can arise if you have Ireland changed when the food is delivered.
What’s the best way to order an impressive party?
One of the key items at each and every party is the caterer. If you have the caterer on board, you will save a lot of time and frustration, and you’ll be less stressed. The caterer will not only save you a lot of time, but give you an opportunity to tell the world that you are a pro, and have a top notch catering company. And again, who can’t use that:
– A bridal shower, birthday, or another celebration at the caterer’s place.
– A dinner for two, with the caterer’s name on the cuiser, (your guests will feel very special like royalty)
– A party for the caterer’s employees, and an opportunity to give a display as the guest of honor and their families.
The elimination of stress by not having to worry about which caterer you can go with is truly more beneficial for you, the host, and your guests.
When attending a party or having a catered event, do remember to carry with you your checklist. Including the caterer in the main event will increase your control and by extension the safety and enjoyment of your party.
