Choosing a wedding caterer and wedding caterer FAQ.

Choosing a wedding caterer and wedding caterer FAQ.
Nothing makes a wedding memorable like good food, and you want your guests feeling full and satisfied at the end of the day, as a couple you decide what type of menu you want before you look for caterers.
If there are any particular dishes that you love as a couple and want to include in your wedding menu, your caterer should be accommodating and willing to adapt to these. They should also suggest ways in which the rest of the menu can be amended to complement these dishes.
Find out the type of crockery and cutlery the caterer will be using to be sure that it goes with the overall theme and look of your wedding.

You should book your wedding caterers as soon as you book your hall,
You should meet with them again weeks before the big day to confirm final details.
Every bride will have her own ideas about how she wants to work with the caterer and the qualities that are important, but here are 10 things you might want to look for when choosing wedding caterers.
1. A confident caterer will be able to give you all the information you need at your first meeting. When you leave you should know an approximate cost per guest (and whether that is a flat rate or dependent on menu items), what is included in the price, and what extra services the caterer can provide.
2. High quality caterers usually specialize in a certain type of cooking, so if you want a scrumptious wedding breakfast for your engagement ceremony if it happens that you having your engagement in the morning before the guests set for church service, find a caterer with a signature dish that complements the style or theme of your wedding. Don’t be afraid to go for something unusual such as indomie,ofada,pap and akara.
3. Ask your caterer for a recent reference, and when you speak to the bride in question ask her very specific questions such as the number of guests she had, whether the food was served and presented well, whether it was hot and tasty when it arrived, whether the waiting staff were well dressed and polite, and whether the catering was what she expected.
4. Creativity is a requirement of a good caterer, so find one that can suggest alternatives and unusual dishes to suit your budget and wedding theme. Perhaps an expensive signature dish that you love could be adapted using less pricey ingredients?  for your guests, can the caterer prepare indomie for a large number of guests,
5. A wedding caterer should be able to provide everything necessary, such as linen, cutlery, crockery and catering equipment. If they don’t have these items, they may be able to arrange to hire them on your behalf at a discounted rate.
6.How is the food priced? Is there a flat fee per guest or are the dishes priced individually? What is included in the price in terms of linen and tableware?
Do the wedding caterers specialize in certain types of food, or do they have a special signature dish? If you are having a themed wedding, can they suggest a menu that will complement that theme? If you have a special dish in mind, are the caterers willing to make that even if it’s not part of their usual repertoire?
7.how many waiters will they provide and what will they wear?
8.Are the caterers able to be flexible and co-ordinate with you?
9.Will the person you are dealing with when making a booking be present on your actual wedding day?
10.can the caterers prepare your local dishes, like pounded yam, ofada, different soups.
