Wedding Caterers

How to Choose the Best Wedding Caterers for Your Big Day One of the most important decisions you will make for your wedding is choosing the caterers. The food and drinks you serve can make or break your guests' experience, and you want to make sure you find a caterer that suits your style, budget, and preferences. Here are some tips on how to choose the best wedding caterers for your big day. - Do your research. Before you contact any caterers, do some online research to find out what kind of catering services are available in your area, what their specialties are, and what their reviews are. You can also ask for recommendations from your friends, family, or wedding planner. Make a list of potential caterers that match your criteria and contact them for more information. - Compare menus and prices. Once you have a list of potential caterers, compare their menus and prices to see what they offer and how much they charge. You should also ask about their availability, their staff size, their equipment, their licenses and insurance, and their cancellation policy. You may want to request a tasting session to sample their food and drinks and see how they present them. - Consider your venue and theme. Another factor to consider when choosing your wedding caterers is your venue and theme. Some venues may have restrictions on what kind of food and drinks you can serve, or they may have preferred caterers that they work with. You should also think about how your catering style matches your wedding theme. For example, if you are having a rustic wedding, you may want to opt for a buffet or a barbecue instead of a formal sit-down dinner. - Communicate your needs and expectations. Once you have narrowed down your choices, communicate your needs and expectations clearly with your chosen caterer. You should discuss your guest count, your dietary requirements, your allergies, your preferences, your budget, and any special requests you may have. You should also sign a contract that outlines all the details of your agreement, including the menu, the price, the payment schedule, the service hours, the staff duties, and the contingency plan. - Enjoy your wedding day. Finally, enjoy your wedding day and let your caterer handle the food and drinks. You should trust that they will deliver what they promised and that they will take care of any issues that may arise. You should also show your appreciation by tipping them generously and leaving them a positive review online. Choosing the best wedding caterers for your big day can be a daunting task, but it can also be a fun and rewarding one. By following these tips, you can find a caterer that will make your wedding memorable and delicious. #WeddingPlanning #WeddingDirectory #WeddingTips #Weddings #unitytheweddingdirectory #unity #weddingdirectory #weddingplanner #weddingdinner #weddingfood #weddingreception #weddingcatering #weddingcaterers #weddingbuffets Read the full article

BBQ Wedding Reception: How to Plan an I Do BBQ

Whether you’re planning classy or casual, BBQ is a great way to feed your guests. It’s delicious, filling, and fun. With barbecue, you can choose a menu that fits your wedding style - and your budget. BBQ food is an affordable option when you’re hiring a caterer. If you’ve got a smaller budget, you can order BBQ from your favorite restaurant and semi-DIY your wedding meal.

If you’re on a super tight budget, you can even buy the ingredients and do a complete DIY for your wedding menu. You can make all the side dishes ahead of time. On the day of your wedding, you’ll probably have lots of volunteers to work the grill. 

Is BBQ at a Wedding Tacky?

No - it’s not tacky at all. As long as you feed your guests a meal that fits the time of day, you’re covered as far as etiquette goes. To keep your guests comfortable, make sure your meal suits the type of wedding you’re planning. If you’re having a fun, laid-back wedding at a community center or home, a casual barbecue with burgers or ribs is a perfect fit.

But if you’re planning an elegant-style wedding, your guests will show up in fancy clothes and expect a sit-down meal. If you ask them to eat with their fingers you’ll probably get some side-eye. It’s not impossible to serve barbecue at a formal wedding, just be careful how you do it.

How to Serve BBQ at a Formal Wedding

If you’re planning a formal wedding and serving BBQ, you’ll need to make sure all the details are elegant. A formal wedding is usually more expensive. Double-check your budget, then make sure you have a formal, plated meal and elegant decorations.

An Elegant BBQ Menu

If you want to have an elegant wedding, don’t serve cookout food. If you want a formal event, you can’t have people eating with their fingers. So think about a plated menu with traditional BBQ foods, like grilled chicken or smoked brisket. Then add side dishes like baked potatoes and green salad to round out the meal.

Classy BBQ Wedding Decor

To get a formal look at your reception, choose all white linens. Make sure your centerpieces all match. Choose elegant glassware, white candles and flowers for stylish table decorations. If your venue doesn’t include real china, see if your caterer can provide dishes. Or look into a rental company for your dishes. For a formal wedding, you’ll need to have china dishes and real flatware.

How to Serve BBQ at a Casual Wedding

BBQ is perfectly suited for a casual wedding - it’s delicious, filling and fun to eat. And if you’re trying to save money, it’s a great way to serve a full meal at a reasonable price.

Menu For a Casual BBQ Wedding

With a casual wedding, as long as there’s enough to eat, your guests will be happy. Serve the nicest food you can afford. If you’ve got a bigger budget, book a caterer or order from a BBQ restaurant. You can serve pulled pork or roasted pig, plus side dishes like corn on the cob and baked beans. If your budget’s on the smaller side, try planning a cookout menu. A burger bar with condiments and toppings is fun, tasty and affordable.

Decor For a Casual BBQ Wedding

For your casual wedding you can pick up glassware, lanterns, candles or knick knacks at a thrift shop, dollar store or craft store. Mismatched items are fun, easy going looks for your centerpieces and decor. If you need to provide the dishes, it’s ok to choose inexpensive or disposable pieces. If you’re having cookout style BBQ, you don’t need full tables set up, but you should have enough chairs for every guest to sit down. If you’re having a buffet, borrow or rent enough tables and chairs for every guest to sit and eat.

How to Serve BBQ at a Semi-Formal Wedding

Semi-formal is a wedding style that gives you the best of both worlds. You can mix and match which elements you’d like to spend your budget on. You can spend a little less than a formal wedding and a little more than a casual wedding.

Menu For a Semi Formal BBQ Wedding

Buffet is the perfect food service for a semi formal wedding. Choose the menu that fits your budget best. Catering is always the easiest choice. If you can fit it in your budget, you can choose your food and beverage packages and let them do the rest.

If you want to save money, or have more food options, you can order delivery from your favorite BBQ restaurant. For your buffet, you can serve a selection of BBQ, like smoked brisket, steak or ribs plus side dishes and rolls. Make sure to include lots of your favorite barbecue sauce!

Decor For a Semi Formal BBQ Wedding

A semi formal wedding can be hosted anywhere from a traditional banquet hall to a rustic barn. Try to match your decor to the venue you’ve booked. If your venue doesn’t include dishes, you can use china or disposables - whichever fits your budget. But you should make sure to rent enough tables and chairs for everyone to have a sit down meal. Remember to add table linens, centerpieces and decorations.

Affordable BBQ Wedding Catering

If you’re trying to save money on your wedding, barbecue is a good choice for your food. The cost of wedding catering will depend on where you live and the time of year you’re planning your wedding. Your costs will also depend on the type of food service you choose, as well as your menu.

Most caterers offer 3 different types of food service:

Plated meals are the most expensive. Each guest will have their meal served to them on individual plates. 

Family style is a mid-priced style of food service. Each dish will be served on the table on platters. Guests around the table can help themselves. 

Buffet style is the least expensive service. The food will be served at one main table. Guests help themselves at the buffet and carry their plates back to their seats.

When you hire a caterer, remember that you’re paying for more than just the food. If you decide to DIY or semi-DIY your BBQ, make sure you’ve got enough people to help you cover all the tasks.

Most caterers will:

Provide trained and uniformed servers

Provide trained and certified bartenders

Set up your tables, linens, and dishes

Set up and stock the bar

Serve the food and beverages

Keep buffet tables clean and stocked

Cut and serve your wedding cake

Clear off tables

Clean up the kitchen

Save Money on Your BBQ Wedding Catering

Choose a less expensive menu, like chicken or burgers

Stick with a buffet or food station as your food service

Consider offering a limited bar or signature drinks instead of an open bar

If Saturday night is too expensive, think about hosting your wedding on a different day

Consider hosting your wedding during the off-season, when venues and catering will be less expensive

Choosing a Venue For a BBQ Wedding

Some venues will be a perfect fit for a barbecue wedding. If you’re planning a cookout-style BBQ, think about venues like a state park, a local beach, or even your own backyard. If you’re planning a more formal or semi-formal wedding, look at traditional venues like a ballroom or banquet hall. Or check your local listings for unique venues, like a ranch or a barn.

Hotel ballroom

Banquet hall

Community center

Local park

Family home

Church hall

Cabin

Cottage

Ranch

Barn

Campground

Nature reserve

State park

Beach

Backyard Wedding BBQ

Planning a backyard wedding is great idea, especially if you’re on a tight budget. You won’t have to pay any rental fees. You’ll be free to do as much DIY as you want. And you can hire the vendors that are the best fit for your budget.

Look over your backyard and decide how many guests you can invite. Consider where your ceremony will take place. Can you fit enough chairs for everyone?

Once you’ve figured out the ceremony space, think about where all your reception events will happen. Where will everyone sit to eat? Do you want a dance floor?

BBQ Wedding Reception Themes

Once you’ve chosen your venue, you might want to add a theme for your wedding. You can use BBQ as your entire wedding theme. Decorate with traditional red gingham fabric and BBQ accessories. Or add some rustic decorations, like wildflowers and string lights. BBQ food goes great with a lot of wedding themes:

Barn

Country

Sunflowers

Daisies

Campground

Rustic

Boho

Mason jars

Cowboy boots

Fall

Spring

Summer

4th of July

Picnic
