It does not matter whether it is for a dinner, cocktail, or lunch, the meal is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the wedding reception and therefore not to be taken lightly at all. Where to find, but above all how to choose the right caterer?
If for your wedding, for your other private receptions or for your professional events you are looking for a very good caterer in Paris. I would gladly recommend this provider. My reasons ? I was immediately seduced by their menu, which is both very extensive and refined. Otherwise, I was also particularly touched by their great availability and their kindness. Indeed, this service provider did not confine itself to its role of caterer.
The latter also helped me a lot in the decoration of the tables, as well as in the choice of wines. A responsibility that is often difficult when you are not a connoisseur. My wife and I are still very grateful to them for their professionalism. But rest assured, even if the good caterers are not running the streets, you can easily come across rare pearls, provided you take your time when recruiting them. The most important thing not to do is to rush.
This is why I recommend that you plan months or even a year in advance. This gives you enough time to audition several providers instead of two or three. Unsurprisingly, I got the contact details for this company through word of mouth. And nothing prevents you from contacting them on their website. On the other hand, if no recommendation has been made to you, you still have the specialized directories, or even the forums on marriages.
The other alternative is to inquire directly with the room rental companies. Some of them are already working with caterers. Anyway, my very first piece of advice is to be constantly demanding throughout your process. The success of your wedding meal will depend entirely on it. Not to mention that dinner or lunch will be among the biggest expenses you will have to cover.
And even if you have found them on the internet, do not settle for simple email exchanges. If possible, arrange an appointment. A face-to-face meeting will make it easier for you to find answers to all the questions you have. In addition, by this contact, you will also know if the current is flowing. Personally, even if their prices and their services have convinced me, I will not work with service providers with whom I have no feeling.
Ask for two or three references, unless you are dealing with novice caterers. But I advise against. In addition, bargain prices are often a sign of a lack of know-how. Do not skip the tasting sessions, even if it means visiting their laboratories. Finally, find out if their service also includes the supply of dishes and tableware.
