Quick Guide To Wedding Catering
By Amy Spade, Sat Dec 10th
So you've tasted the offerings of the caterer and you'veselected your main menu options. What about drinks? What's on tap Much like selecting the menu options, you will need to factor inwhat kinds of drinks everyone would like to drink. The easiestway to take care of this is to offer a full service bar. In thisway, guests can have mixed drinks of all varieties or they canstick to wine and beer.
You want to plan this option out carefully as you may end uppaying more than you would like. Check with the provider as tohow many drinks each guest can have, or can expect from thesupply that will be brought. In most cases, there is no limit. A word of advice: Don't ever have a cash bar. Making your guestspay for their drinks when they may also have paid for theiroutfits and transportation is just a lot to ask. What to choose for everyone In terms of wine and beer, tastes and varieties areenormous--how does someone choose? The best advice is to select four to five different kinds ofbeer with each one having enough to fill everyone's glass. Thismay surprise you, but sometimes all of your guests will like thesame thing and you may want to make sure that they can have it. As for wine,
you may want to have at least one of each a redvarietal and a white varietal. This ensures a milder and moreacidic selection. A way to make sure that everyone is happy isto find blends of each of these wines. By blends, this means tofind a red that includes a merlot, syrah, and pinot noir, whilethe white might include a chardonnay, reisling, and zinfandel. These can be tricky to find, but they are crowd pleasers. Champagne for toasts Toasts are just not toasts without a little glass (or two) ofchampagne. It's common sense to make sure that the new coupleand their wedding party have the very finest in champagne (asdetermined by the budget), while the rest of the guests haveanother variety. In many reception halls or catering services,the champagne for the wedding party is provided. Of course, there will also be designated drivers at the wedding,so you will also want to have water, sodas, coffee, and juicesavailable as well. When you're planned it thoroughly, everyonewill be well-watered throughout the evening.
