So my best friend, Kristin is getting married next month in Utah. I was asked to be in the wedding party so I have been pretty busy these past couple of months. But WOW. What a mission! I had no idea it would be like this! I know wedding planning is basically every girl’s childhood dream but it is stresssssful! And I’m not even the bride! (Thank goodness… well at least for now). Color schemes, wedding dress shopping, bridesmaid dress shopping, cake sampling, venue scouting galore…  it NEVER ends!

However, I am ecstatic to announce that we can cross catering off our to-do list! Kristin decided to go with a Salt Lake caterer, Culinary Crafts. Their past weddings have been gorgeous. Check out some one of their previous events…

Don’t you think that’s absolutely wonderful? I did! I think I’ll use them for my wedding… whenever that is

Choosing a caterer for any event, whether it is a wedding, party, or business affair, can be a daunting task; after all, the quality of the food can make or break an event.  I used a Utah catering service for my engagement party way back when, and now it is the only catering company I will use.  However, it took quite a bit of research on my part until I found the perfect one.  Consider the following tips when you are in the thick of your search for a caterer.

- One of the best places to start your search is to get recommendations from family, friends, and co-workers.  Chances are that the names of reputable caterers within an area will overlap.

- The longer the catering company has been around, the more experience they have in the industry. 

- Make sure to sample dishes when interviewing potential caterers.  You never want to underestimate the quality of the food, so make sure you know what they are capable of.

- Choose a caterer with enthusiasm and spunk, someone who will go that extra mile and make sure your event is absolutely perfect.

- Inquire about insurance; make sure the caterer has all the proper licenses, permits, and insurance.  This includes workers compensation.  If something happened to a catering employee, you would not be held liable.
