Weddings are incredibly special occasions full of love and togetherness, and there’s a lot that goes into planning the perfect wedding. One of the most important aspects of wedding planning is choosing a caterer for the reception, but there’s a lot of additional things to consider when making your decision. What type of cuisine should you serve? Do we need full-service catering? What about all the silverware? This list will give you inspiration to help you make the right decisions when selecting a caterer for your wedding reception.

Decide If You Need Full-Service or Drop Off Catering

Before you start thinking about the type of food you want to serve at your wedding, it’s important to consider the type of catering services that you need. There are two primary types of catering services that you can choose from for your wedding: drop off catering and full-service catering. With drop off catering, serving trays of appetizers, entrees, desserts, and other dishes are brought out to your wedding with serving utensils for your guests to fill their own plates with. This catering option is ideal for smaller weddings where guests can quickly serve themselves and is the more affordable option of the two. Full-service catering involves bringing in a team of servers, bartenders, and bussers to serve your guests in a quick and efficient manner.  With full-service catering, you can create a more elegant experience for your guests without having to lift a finger.

Select Your Wedding Reception’s Cuisine

The possibilities are endless when choosing what type of food to serve at your wedding reception, and it can be difficult to know where to start. Fortunately, there’s a few ways to get inspiration for selecting your wedding reception’s cuisine. Many people will cater food that matches the theme or ambience of the reception venue. For example, if your reception is taking place in an elegant ballroom, an upscale steak dinner would perfectly complement the rest of the space. Barn weddings are also a trendy option for newlyweds all over the country, so a comfort food-oriented menu would perfectly fit the vibe of the venue. Cater Dallas’s diverse list of restaurants has you covered, no matter what type of cuisine you’re looking for.
