Require attendees to RSVP to get the most accurate headcount possible. The catering that you seek my cost you anywhere between $20 per person and more than $350 per person depending on what you want. Shop around for the best price for these services and focus on deposits and payment dates.

#3: Tailor Your Menu

This means not only deciding on which menu items are the most appetizing, but having an eclectic blend of foods that will please the entire crowd. You need to think about things like alcoholic beverage preferences and dietary restrictions. The only way to know for sure that you are choosing the best food is to visit the catering company to taste test it yourself.

Use these points so that you can get the most out of your next catered event.
