Before You Book

Couples usually book caterers 8–10 months ahead. Ask:

• What is the price per guest, and what does it include (staff, rentals, cake cutting, tax, service charge)?
• Can we do a tasting, and is there a fee?
• Do you offer plated, buffet, family-style or stations, and how does the price change?
• How do you handle allergies and vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal or gluten-free meals?
• Do you provide bar service and bartenders? Do you hold a liquor license and liability insurance?

Tips for Booking Caterers

• Ask for a sample invoice for your guest count so you see every fee.
• Buffets are not always cheaper than plated; compare full quotes.
• Feed your vendors: most contracts require a vendor meal.

Getting several quotes? Line them up in the quote comparison tool and check the contract red flags before you pay a deposit.
