What is Event Catering?
By Budda Oliver

Catering is the business of providing food and related services, such as decorations, furnishings, and event planning. Event caterers can be hired to provide services for a wide range of functions, such as weddings, parties, banquets, conventions, bar mitzvahs, ceremonies, luncheons, dinner parties, or sporting and outdoor events. There are two main types of catered events: off-site and on-site.

Off-site Catering

Off-site catering is a service in which the caterer will bring already-prepared dishes to the event, and may add finishing touches or final steps on location. For the most part, the food is already prepared before arrival. This type of service is best used for cold dishes and dishes that are easily transported without adverse effects. This method also complicates food safety and health issues, related to perishable transportation. Reputable caterers normally have no problem overcoming these problems with the use of insulated coolers, refrigerated vehicles, and/or portable heating and warming units.

On-site Catering

Alternatively, on-site, or on-premise catering involves the dishes being mostly or entirely prepared and served at the specified function. While initial steps may be taken before arrival, most of the food is cooked and prepared on location. This type of catering is better suited for hot dishes, or foods that do not travel well. While there is normally a higher expense to the client, dishes such as these usually have a higher quality, because they do not require to be transported or reheated.

Extra Services

While the caterer's main focus is on supplying, delicious, appealing dishes, quality catering services can provide a whole host of services based on the desires of the client. Often times, caterers will be required to incorporate specific themes or color schemes. Professional caterers will often offer the option to have their staff provide complete planning, decoration, and furnishing of the event, such as table placements, floral arrangements, draperies, lighting, valet service, coat check, and other atmospheric elements. This is all in order to provide a memorable, enjoyable event.

Most catering services will provide food, buffet (if required), and food services, such as servers and bartenders, depending on the intricacies of the event. Obviously, a small luncheon will not require as many services as a large banquet. The level of services provided is completely up to the client, but experienced catering services can help you plan out and decide what will be best for your specific event.

Caterers Take the Stress Out of Cooking - Catering Service is Great For Family and Business Function By Matt Gallo

Nothing beats hosting a great party or a successful business meeting, but all the planning and organization can be overwhelming. Reduce your stress levels and ensure your event goes off without a hitch by contracting professional caterers. Leave the food preparation and cooking to the pros, so you can focus on all the other details. You'll get the taste of restaurant food with the convenience of personalized selection and hassle-free delivery!

Opting to have your event catered doesn't mean compromising on selection, either. Most catering services offer extensive menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and many also have separate snack, appetizer, and dessert menus. From simple bagel trays to elaborate antipasto platters to hot entrees, they should have just what you need for your family gathering or business event. If you would like a special item-perhaps your grandma's pasta salad or your boss's favorite cookies-just ask. Most caterers are happy to fulfill special requests.

And don't forget, catering service is also ideal for corporate events. When potlucks and fast food don't convey the polished, professional atmosphere your business requires, catering is a great solution. Early morning business meetings, extended seminars, and group projects can all benefit from a catered meal or snack. Whether you choose a mouth-watering party platter, tasty box lunches, or a gourmet dessert tray, they're sure to hit the spot with your clients, colleagues, and employees. Consider hiring a catering company for:

  • Office Catering
  • Corporate Functions
  • Business Lunches
  • Company Picnics

When it comes to planning your next big party or corporate event, don't let the time and hassle of food preparation get in the way. Call your local caterers for delicious food and stress-free delivery. You can focus on organizing a truly great event while they worry about the food. With the help of the cooking pros, your party or function is sure to be a success!
