3. Budget:

An elaborate menu and a big list of ingredients would increase the budget allocated for food. Designing and planning a budget for wedding food is one of the main tasks. Wedding catering services also provide a package that suits your needs which include the specification of menu offered with the price. Select your best food package for the auspicious wedding which is economical.

We highly recommend sitting down with your partner and deciding on a budget for your wedding catering so you have an idea of what you have to spend when going to your caterer. Most caterers in Mumbai will have several price packages for couples to choose from. If you are on a limited budget tell your caterer. We have many sample menus that we have created for past, current and future clients – each tailored to individual budgets and tastes. It is important to discuss with your venue first about what is included in their fee for the venue. Asking if they include crockery, glassware, tables, chairs, and linen are the key things to inquire about. If these things are not included, and you will require your caterer to supply them, the fee can be way above what you anticipated so be sure to factor this in.

When you get a quote from a wedding caterer be sure to ask if it is including or excluding Vat – in some cases this can be an unexpected cost couples have not considered – We are always conscious to make our clients aware of the Vat from the very first quote.

4. Tasting session:

Taste of food differs in each catering services. To build a trust with the taste provided by the caterer, tasting the foods provided by the caterer will help you to understand the quality of food. It gives you an opportunity to explore the variety of food and bring satisfaction with the taste.

We cannot recommend doing a tasting enough! It is really important to do a tasting to ensure you are happy with your menu and make any tweaks to dishes if required. It will also give you the opportunity to see the quality and presentation of your caterers work. Some couples have told us in the past post their wedding that they were delighted to have the tasting because on the day they were so busy mingling they didn’t get to enjoy the full meal (although we are not sure if anything could tear us aware from our dinner;).

5. Service:

What matters the most is how the guests are treated and served during the wedding. By choosing the right wedding caterers, the tension of serving the guests and treating them reduces. Choose your catering services which include a professional team of individuals who serve your guests by fulfilling their needs throughout the wedding. A responsible, enthusiastic and expert team can be found by choosing the right choice of wedding catering services.

After all, hosting a memorable, meaningful, and tasty wedding meal is a collaborative process between you and your caterer. Here are the wedding catering services experts you could look forward to bringing together a magical wedding with delicious meals.

6.Checking the availability:

Once your venue is booked it is important to book your caterer soon after. We recommend booking your caterer for at least 9 months before your wedding date.

Most venues have a list of preferred suppliers so it’s always advised to talk to them about who they would recommend and get some sample menus if possible.

Always check out a Caterers website or social media page to check the quality of their work. If you cannot get any images this way ask them to send you a portfolio of their work. All of our produce here at AH Catering is of the highest quality. We believe in providing food that is 100% traceable from farm to fork! Seasonal produce always plays a big part too and we will always create menus with this in mind.
