Advice For Choosing Burnaby Catering Companies

By Mattie MacDonald


Catering is an important aspect of an event. While it may not be the central point of an event it is often talked about. Great food is often something people will discuss as part of their memories. If you want to be sure that the food at your event is remembered for the right reasons it is worth choosing the right Burnaby catering companies.

In simple terms a caterer serves you food. However there are various aspects to this. You may get someone in at the start of an event producing food that people can then help themselves. This is often the best option for smaller events where you do not necessarily want to pay someone to serve food.

There is also the nature of the event. A more formal event will require a more formal service. For example at a wedding you may well want to choose a sit down meal with several courses. This may also be the case for an awards show or a conference that you want to impress your guests.

When contacting a company it is important to be aware of the needs of your guests. Some people may have specific dietary needs. You need to contact your guests as soon as possible so that the caterers can prepare for this. A good example of this is vegetarians. The danger is that some companies may have options as something they have to have rather than something people will enjoy.

When contacting a company it is important to be aware of the amount of guests coming. While it is hard to be precise there are usually an average number that you can pinpoint. It is also important to be aware of any requirements of your guest. For example some people can have gluten intolerance or allergies. It is also important to ensure that vegetarian options are enticing for people who do not eat meat and do not seem like an afterthought.

A lot of venues will offer their own catering services. However it is still a good idea to compare other services. You may not necessarily want to be charged extra for something that is not appropriate for what you want.

It is worth contacting companies and caterers in person as well as sampling the food that they have to offer. There are two main types of companies to consider when choosing someone for your venue. The most experienced companies tend to be confident and able to demonstrate why they can handle events. However sometimes newer companies can be useful as they are often keen to prove themselves and spread vital word of mouth to get more work. With good word of mouth they can get more work!

It is possible to find a wide range of catering companies available in your local area. You ought to contact at least three in order to compare their services. It is also worth checking online to get feedback from people who have used their services in the past and find the best option to suit your event.
