What Does Booking Indianapolis Wedding Caterers Entail?


Thinking about hiring Indianapoliswedding caterers for your wedding? We asked an expert about what you need to consider before booking your wedding caterers

Booking Indianapolis wedding caterers for your wedding should be a really straight forward and exciting process provided you choose a good one!. They must provide a full event planning service alongside catering so we can help with everything from venue finding to flower arrangements.

In the beginning expect an informal and no pressure conversation from your caterer to get an idea of who you are, what you like and don’t like. This could be over the phone or at your home depending on locations. We like to meet in person to get a feel for who are clients are and what they are really looking for, rather than guesswork. Then a proposal will be created with menus and costs for your initial consultation.

Does my venue not just do the catering for me?
A lot of venues do have an in-house team but some venues, especially ones that are unique and not purpose built event spaces, are simply a structure without a catering team onsite. Some venues have kitchen facilities that can be used and others are blank canvases waiting to be transformed. Don’t worry about hiring in your own ovens though, your caterers will look after all of that!

What do I need to ask them?
Check their availability to start with. Ask which venues they are recommended caterers for as this will give you a sense of their status in the industry. I would even recommend going one step further and make a few phone calls to venues and see who they like to work with. It’s always good to get a first-hand opinion from people who see caterers all the time. Who would they choose?

Ask your Indianapolis wedding caterers if they specialize in any one type of cooking as you may want to have a traditional style of cooking for your wedding. Also ask for a rough indication of costs upfront so you’re not wasting your time. Every menu is completely bespoke and each piece of catering equipment would have to be hired in for your specific menu which a lot of people don’t realize. Cost is also very dependent on the venue itself – the size, the equipment onsite, how many levels, where it is etc. So don’t expect an on the spot exact figure as this isn’t realistic.

What kind of food should I go for? Is it just a standard meal?
Unless you want a very specific style of catering such as kosher or halal, a lot of caterers are more than able to deliver current, trendy and non-traditional menus. At Home have a superb tapas menu as well as lots of options inspired by the orient as well as Africa and Latin America.
