When it comes to the things that can make or break an event, few are as important as the quality, flavour and appearance of the catering on offer.
Food helps set the tone of any event, and menu variety, quality, and presentation all contribute to the culinary experience so it is important to select a catering company who not only provides excellent food and service but also understand the style and theme of your event.
Here are six key things to consider when choosing a event caterer…
1. Experience
You should choose a professional event caterer with a history of successful events. When you look back at your wedding reception, milestone birthday, or corporate event, you will be glad you selected a caterer with a wealth of experience that will leave a lasting impression on your guests.
After living and breathing hospitality and catering for more than 13 years, we are experienced in understanding how to inject a touch of magic into your event, creating tastes to savour and occasions to remember.
We have experience catering a wide range of Brisbane events, including weddings, birthday celebrations, christenings, bridal and baby showers, kitchen teas, engagement parties, high teas, cocktail parties, children’s parties, conferences, gala dinners and more.
Our small, passionate team strive tirelessly to provide catered food with the quality and care they would provide to their own family and loved ones.
2. Budget
It’s very important for you to have clear understanding about the cost of catering and what inclusions are required. If you are working to a modest budget, tell your caterer how much you’re looking to spend and ask if they can suggest the best options for you.
At Chez Nous Corporate, we provide efficient and affordable event catering solutions for all your needs and can tailor your catering plan depending on your budget, from samples packages, food stations and share plates featuring well-loved traditional party food to cocktails and canapés featuring exquisite ingredients.
