Selecting a wedding caterer might seem as simple as a delicious tasting, but there's more to the decision making process than meets the eye. To ensure you and your guests have an unforgettably delicious, top-notch experience, you’ll want to dig a bit deeper. We’re here to serve you the top five often-overlooked – and yet extremely important – qualities to look for when selecting your wedding caterer!

1. Reviews and More Reviews. Not only does a five-star rating matter, but so does the volume of positive reviews. If your caterer has a mountain of rave reviews, it means they’ve consistently wowed clients, time and again, and have the breadth of expertise that you need on your wedding day. Imagine the peace of mind that will come from knowing your caterer can seamlessly bring your wedding vision to life!
   
   
2. Team Power. While a small team might offer a personal touch, when it comes to wedding catering, bigger often means better. A robust team with ample resources beyond culinary chops – from top-notch kitchen gear to delivery trucks to backup staff – can’t be overstated. Unexpected hiccups? No problem. A well-resourced, experienced team can handle surprises smoothly, so you can remain worry-free and soak up your special day.
   
   
3. Venue Exclusivity: A Badge of Trust. Does your caterer have exclusive partnerships at popular wedding venues? This is a good sign they’re trusted and valued, and speaks volumes about the experience they deliver. Akin to a positive customer review, if your caterer is a venue’s go-to choice, you can rest assured you’re in excellent hands.
   
   
4. Year-Round Support. Planning a wedding takes an enormous amount of time and passion, so having a team that’s dedicated to you in the months, weeks, and days leading up to your wedding is key. From the initial concept to the final toast, a caterer’s ongoing support ensures no detail is overlooked. Your year-round planning team will keep everything on track, making the journey to your big day not only smooth but enjoyable too!
   
   
5. A Surprise-Free Quote. A top-notch caterer will provide a detailed initial quote that covers all aspects of your celebration – both actual and hypothetical. From on-site logistics, to catering tents, furniture rentals, and rain plans, a thorough quote means you won’t be caught off guard by unexpected costs. This holistic approach demonstrates your caterer’s expertise and ability to handle every aspect of your celebration, to ensure a flawless event.
