With the holidays just around the corner, well-informed hosts know to book their caterers early to ensure the success of their parties and events. The right caterer can make or break a get together, so research and proper selection are necessary to plan the perfect gathering. Begin the process by defining the type of event you are planning - a sophisticated holiday cocktail party, a formal sit down dinner, a dinner and dancing extravaganza or a casual sing along or trim a tree. Once you have the concept, you are on your way. Next, select the date for the event, keeping in mind to avoid conflicts such as the first night of Hanukah, Christmas Eve, or the same day that others you are inviting may have a conflict.
Now that you have defined the type of event you want to host, and selected a date on which to host it, it is time to think about the proper help you need. During the busy holiday season, engaging the outside help of a competent caterer will enable you to plan, and enjoy, your event. When looking for a caterer, reputation is a critical factor. Ask friends and colleagues for recommendations of caterers that they have used in the past. Think about parties you have attended where everything was "just right" in terms of food, service and display. Seek out the names of the caterers with a reputation for excellent food and service. Creativity and unique menus also make events memorable and are attributes you should seek out. Once you've identified your list, you can begin your research with calls to find out availability. When you have narrowed your list down to a few choice caterers who are available the date you wish to have your party, it is time to delve in and select just the right one for your needs. This involves interviewing the caterer, selecting and tasting menus, discussing theme and rental needs, working out beverage arrangements, agreeing upon price and service requirements/fees and always checking references.
The first step is meeting with the caterer. Meet privately with the caterer at their place of business or kitchen. Do not agree to meet with the caterer while he or she is catering someone else's wedding or event. Why not? Yes, you may want to see him or her in "action", but this means the event at hand does not have the caterer's full attention. And, if they make a habit of meeting with prospects at other events, this caterer will most likely do the same to you during your holiday party. When you pay top price for a caterer, you deserve their full attention.
