| Catering a wedding is no small
feat, and arranging for a caterer is nearly as challenging. The
difficulty begins when you decide upon a place to hold your wedding.
Every couple hopes to find a distinctive wedding
location for their wedding celebration. The place for your
wedding will define your entire event. Make careful considerations
early on while making your wedding
planner check list will help you with this important decision.
The future bride and groom should agree not only on practical
matters such as your budget and the number of wedding
guests to invite but also on aspects such as the kind of environment
they each prefer. Hotels, restaurants, and other locations with
banquet facilities, such as country clubs, regularly serve weddings,
so they may provide in-house catering staff or special deals with
outside caterers. Furthermore, they may also be able to recommend
other wedding vendors.
Many caterers include a gratuity in their invoice, which will
be divided up among the workers. Nevertheless, but be sure to
ask if the company follows this practice. If the gratuity is
an extra cost, plan on tipping all staff members, including
the catering or banquet manager, waiters, bartenders, chefs,
and other essential workers who help serve guests. Most catering
staff members receive a decent hourly wage, however, so you
need not stress too fervently over tips. Tips can be paid in
advance to the director of the catering company, or you can
hand them to the wedding
coordinator toward the end of the evening.
