Q: Is a menu tasting complimentary once you book their service, if there’s one at all? How many guests does it accommodate?

Q: Discuss staff duties. Will the staff set up at the venue? Will they clean up and take out the trash at the end of the night? Will they cut & serve the wedding cake you have delivered? How will the staff be dressed on the wedding day? Some of these are good to know and directly relate to the rest of the vendor team. We like to know who will be responsible for what, so if they do not cover something, we can help you find someone who can accommodate.
Q: Will they let you provide your own alcohol? Every caterer is different on their rules for this, depending on their liquor liability. It’s an option for you to weigh, as it can save you money, but is an added task for you to take on. Wedding Caterers can provide you a quantity sheet as a guide should you choose to provide your own for them to serve.
