HOW TO SELECT A CATERER FOR YOUR WEDDING RECEPTION IN MONTREAL? MONTREAL WEDDINGS IS HERE TO HELP!

The meal is one of the main things that guests will remember about your wedding.

It is also one of the biggest parts of your wedding budget.

Ideally, you should start looking for a caterer after you find your reception site. This will also allow you to determine what rental equipment will be needed.

It is important to know your wedding budget. Are food and drinks an important priority? Many factors can influence the price of your meal: the number of people on your guest list, the number of people in your wedding party, the number of courses you would like, rental equipment, service (buffet vs. a sit-down meal), menu selection and the caterer’s experience.

The most important things to consider when choosing your wedding caterer are beautiful presentation coupled with extraordinary taste. Ask to see the caterer’s portfolio to get an idea of how they present their meals. As for taste, most caterers will offer their wedding clients a tasting session, so set up an appointment to taste the meal that you’ve ordered.

If you have a particular wedding theme or special request, share your ideas with the caterer. They will surely be able to surprise you with the perfect menu!
