If you’re getting ready for a big event, catering will likely be coming up soon. There are many things to discuss with your caterer, from availability and pricing to the menu.
However, there are also additional questions you might want to cover to help your event happen without a hitch.
Below, you will find a variety of questions to ask your caterer depending on the type of event. We hope this helps save you some time and stress!
weddings
Your wedding is one of the most special days of your life. If you’re in the process of hiring wedding caterers, here are some questions to run by them:

- What can you do if certain guests are vegan, gluten free, or have other allergy requirements?
