The catering service is one of the main pillars of any wedding event. Food is usually what most guests remember best, so taking good care of this department is paramount. It is important to book it in advance to avoid any last-minute inconveniences. You should also find out about the services offered by your reception venue, it may be that there is a special team available. So before you start researching, below are some key factors you should consider when looking for the best caterer for your wedding in New York.

The number of guests

The choice of caterer concerns the entire organization of the wedding and depends first of all on the number of guests since some NYC providers indicate a minimum or a maximum number of people they can cater to. Thus, the quality of the dishes must be guaranteed regardless of the number of people, because when they have to deal with large groups, some caterers may neglect the quality of their dishes.

The style of wedding

The style of your wedding will also determine the type of caterer chosen. If you go for a classic wedding with a large number of attendees, the traditional meal with round tables and seated guests is the best option. However, recently there have been new variations which tend to become more and more popular.

For example, for a more relaxed wedding, two practical options are available to you: the cocktail that lasts throughout the evening, and the buffet with various food stands. In both of these cases, the refinement of the foods and the sophistication of the dishes are at the height of a traditional banquet.

On the other hand, rural catering has modified the traditional banquet, with long wooden tables instead of round surfaces, rural-chic decorations without vintage tablecloths and tableware, dim lights, and dishes with original and innovative tastes. Its picnic version, less expensive is ideal for enjoying the beautiful setting of your wedding and is becoming more and more trendy.
