When meeting or emailing the potential wedding caterers, there are key questions you should ask to ensure they are the right fit for your needs.
Inquire about their experience with weddings. You can also check companies on trust pilot, Facebook or google reviews to make sure you talk to an experienced company. When it comes to choosing a caterer, personal recommendations can be incredibly valuable. Talk to friends or read reviews to find caterers who have provided excellent service at previous events.

When should I book the caterers?
