| Selecting a Caterer |
The food is an important part to a reception. So it’s important to shop around. When deciding on a
caterer there are some important questions you should ask.
Portable kitchens?
Make sure to ask about a price escalation cause. This is most often done when the contract is
formed long in advance of an event. This allows the caterer to raises the price to accommodate rises in
ingredient costs.
Also make note of the when things are due (signed contract, deposit, final guest count, and
balance) and the last day you can cancel and get a full refund. Make sure everything is in
writing. This protects both you and the caterer.
