Introduction

Food is the heart of a wedding celebration

At weddings, food is often what guests remember most. But many couples make mistakes when booking catering, leading to problems like insufficient food, unsatisfying taste, or chaotic service.

Mistake 1: Booking at the Last Minute

• Many couples wait until the last minute to book catering.

• As a result, menu choices are limited and the risk of caterers being fully booked is high.

• Tip: Book at least 6–12 months before your wedding date.

Mistake 2: Skipping Food Tasting

• Some couples take it lightly and book without tasting the food.

• Delicious-looking food in ads may not taste the same on the wedding day.

• Tip: Request a food tasting session to ensure the flavor and quality.

Mistake 3: Inaccurate Guest Estimate

• If guest numbers are miscalculated, you might end up with too little or too much food.

• Too much food leads to waste; too little leaves guests disappointed.

• Tip: Make a realistic estimate based on invitations and average attendance (60–70%).

Mistake 4: Ignoring Traditional Menus & Special Diets

• Some couples focus only on modern menus and forget traditional favorites loved by their families.

• Guests may also have special dietary needs like vegetarian or allergies.

• Tip: Offer a menu variety that caters to all groups.

Mistake 5: Choosing Based on Price Alone

• Cheap prices aren’t always worth it if the service and food quality are poor.

• Some caterers charge less but lack adequate staff or logistics.

• Tip: Choose based on reputation, testimonials, and experience.
