Grand Central Station for All of Our Happenings
When thinking about planning an event, what typically comes to mind is, “Events take a lot of time and effort” – and that’s right. Whether it’s booking a venue, purchasing and setting up decorations, and of course planning and preparing what you will serve your guests, events require a lot of thought and take a lot of effort. To make things a bit easier, you can leave the planning and preparing of the food up to a caterer. And we’re here to fill you in (and up) on a catering secret to keep expenses down: serve pasta!
Organizing, planning, and hosting an event of any size is a large task. There is a long list of to-dos and only so much time before the day of your event. This long list can make the entire process a stressful ordeal. In our minds as caterers, events are supposed to be fun and enjoyable – both before and the day of. A large portion of planning for an event is food – knowing the number of people you need to feed, figuring out what food you want to serve, preparing the food, serving the food, and cleaning up once your guests leave. Now to us, that sounds like a lot of work – but work we enjoy doing. Below, we share with you five important reasons to consider on why you should consider hiring a caterer for your next event…
There’s something about being outside that makes an event better. The spacious environment, the fresh air, the beauty of the surroundings … it’s the perfect location. And when you say “outdoor event”, nothing fits the setting quite like food off the grill. There’s a sense of casuality with being outside and something about warm, sunny weather that calls for a delicious burger, picnic, or barbecue. And to keep the casual feeling going that these outdoor foods call for, make it buffet-style.
When it comes to weddings, food makes up a large portion of the wedding budget. The nice thing about having an outdoor reception for your wedding is many times you can pick and choose how and what you want to serve at your reception. Typically with outdoor receptions, you are able to hire a caterer of your choosing giving you more options to pick from.
Seafood is a delectable main dish option that can make any event special and unique. Typically, catered events consist of beef or chicken options, so choosing to serve seafood as the main dish at your gathering can “wow” your guests and leave them with a lasting impression.
When it comes to planning an event, food is an item that is high on the priority list. Why? Because people need to (and love to) eat! Food brings people together and having satisfied guests is what you strive for no matter the event – food does just that.
