At the end of the day food is one of the few things people actually remember about your wedding. So ask the important questions before you commit to anything.
Fixed or Flexible Menus
Are you able to provide me with details of the fixed or provisional menu and the time by which I will be required to confirm the menu choices (and obtain details of any special diets from guests) – often this is 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding and it can be helpful to get this cleared up with your guests as soon as possible.
Dietary and Allergen Handling
Ask how guests’ special dietary requirements will be recorded and how they will be informed to the kitchen and front of house on the day. (Under new laws regarding food served to consumers, venues serving food must follow the allergen information for caterers rules).
Tastings and Who Can Attend
Are you included in a food tasting, and if so, how many people can come with you? This can sometimes be restricted to just two people, or perhaps a maximum of five.
How Pricing Actually Works
Request that the venue outlines in full the cost per head for the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet, as well as any minimum number of guests, and the additional cost for any ‘upgrades’.
Bar and Drinks Packages
Drinks packages – are these offered on a per person basis or as a fixed bar bill? Is corkage permitted? How are the drinks for the toast arranged?
