How to Choose a Top Caterer

Salt Lake City, Utah is a happening place when it comes to weddings, prominent universities, and major corporations. C.R. England trucking company, the e-Bay headquarters, Franklin-Covey, and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, are all home to Salt Lake City. So it comes as no surprise that the great S.L.C. has its fair share of lavish, grand affairs, planned and catered by the best consultants around. Whether you are planning your perfect wedding or a swanky corporate event, here are some quick tips to helping you choose the best caterer.

- Choose early to ensure availability; you may have to go through a number of interviews before you find a caterer you like.

- Your best recommendations will com from trusted friends and family. If you attended a splendid wedding or corporate affair you were impressed with, find out who provided the catering.

- Arrange to meet with prospective caterers face-to-face after initial phone interviews. This will enable you to get a feel for the caterer’s abilities, personality, and style.

- Attend the meetings prepared; have with you any pertinent information such as a guest count, date and approximate time, budget, and the event location, if applicable.

- Caterers will usually put together planned menus and proposals with cost estimates. Discuss any menu changes you want in order to meet your preferences and demands for the event.

- The proposal should include information regarding all services to be rendered, which may include food service, table settings, décor, entertainment, and any other extras. Clarify with the caterer exactly what is and is not included.

- Once you have made a decision, meet with the chosen Salt Lake caterer to nail down all the details and to sign a contract.
