Food Tasting: Choosing the Right Food

Advice you will probably receive from everyone about your catering for your wedding day is "TRY THE FOOD FIRST". Most caterers will host a tasting before you make the contract, while some require the contract and a deposit beforehand. Here are some reasons that tasting with your caterer is important:

1. Tastings give you the freedom to choose exactly what you want presented on your big day. It's also a great way to spend some time with your caterer top discuss the elements of your wedding. Don't be afraid to ask questions!

2. Plate presentation can be as important as the food itself. Ask the important questions about the service. Is the dressing for the salad on the salad itself or on the side? Are all the courses delivered at once or in succession?

3. Caterers also like to perform tastings with their clients, not only does it help them develop relationship with the bride and groom but it also gives them valuable feedback on their service. Be sure to share questions, comments and concerns, as well as honest opinions on the food.

4. Most caterers charge for tastings (though this cost may be absorbed into the overall charges for the event). Be sure you understand the charge before you schedule the tasting, so you're not shocked later on.

5. While food is no doubt a big consideration, don't forget to also base your decision on other factors such as the services included and the chemistry between you and the caterer. You will be working together, so it's important that you get along.
