Caterers can operate one of two ways: they can give you a price for what you would like to serve at your event OR you can give them your budget and have them provide options of possible menus based on that budget. So, be clear on how you would like to proceed after the initial greeting. Make a list of details: venue, reason for the gathering, length of the gathering, number of people in attendance, time of day, if beer/wine/liquor will be served, the nature of the event (casual, formal, evening, business, etc.) BEFORE you arrange a meeting with the cater, make sure the proposed date is open, and make sure the caterer can do what you hope for. For example, do not hire a caterer famous for French hors d'oeuvres if you're planning a Texas Rodeo Barbecue theme.

How to Choose the Best Caterers for Your Large Event?
Planning a large event can be a very stressful time, and finding the right caterers can make or break the success of your big day. There are so many options that choosing the right one can be difficult, especially when you have so many people to please. As you are working on narrowing down your selection, keep these tips in mind to help ensure you find the right caterers to fulfill your needs.Interviewing CaterersPlanning the food choices for a very large and diverse group of people can be challenging. Considering the many dietary restrictions of your guests can be difficult even when you know each person, but if your event will have guests that you do not personally know it can seem impossible to prepare. The key to making sure every possibility is covered is to hire caterers that handle events like yours every day. Smaller catering companies may make a bid, but always include in your interview process questions about other large events they have handled. Make sure vegetarian and dairy free items are able to be on the menu, and discuss the serving styles each of the caterers feels would work best for your event. You will be able to get a good feel for their experience by asking probing questions and listening carefully to how the caterers respond.PricingPricing should always be a consideration when choosing caterers for your event, but it should not be the final decision making aspect of the bids. If one bid is significantly lower than the rest be wary, as the food quality, service or experience may be lacking. Make sure to find out how much the caterers charge for both children and adults. Ask about any additional fees that could occur, and get the bid in writing so you have it to refer back to if something changes down the road.Ask for ReferencesAny experienced company should be able to provide you with references of other events of your size that they have handled. Take the time to call these companies and individuals, and ask detailed questions. One great question to ask is If you could change anything about the catering at your event, what would it be? Often this can alert you to potential problems you can address before you sign the contract with the caterers for your event.
