Party Food

In most cases catering is the largest expense of a wedding but this varies with how many guests you have. The cost of your wedding reception includes the food, beverages, waiters, kitchen staff, rentals, decorations, and the cost of hiring the venue itself.

Receptions don’t always have to be held at dinner time, you might find that choosing a different time of day for your reception will result in a significant saving. Below are some suggestions and ideas for alternative receptions:

• Tea receptions are held between 2-4 pm. You can serve things such as canapes, finger sandwiches, tea, scones, pastries and a variety of cheeses. For ideas try www.mrfingerfood.com.au
• A Simple Cake and Punch Reception is perfect if your reception is not during a normal mealtime. Mid morning or mid afternoon is ideal. You can also include candies, cookies, and nuts to the menu. Include a Cake and Punch Reception Following Ceremony on your invitations and this inform guests ahead of time not to expect a full meal.
• A cocktail reception might include passed trays of food as well as small stations with finger food. Be sure to have to have plenty of napkins, plates, cutlery and seating on hand to avoid messy dining. Be clear in your invitation that the reception will include cocktails and hors d’oeuvres only. The receptions finale will be the cake-cutting ceremony and coffee service, which can be supplemented by after-dinner drinks and petits fours.
• A hors d’oeuvres reception is takes place between 11am-5pm or after an evening wedding. As the name suggests, you would serve light finger foods such as chips and dips, fruit and vegetable platters, cheeses, and crackers. You can also include meat and cheese trays, shrimp cocktails, oysters, egg rolls, sausages, chicken wings, and tea sandwiches. See www.mrfingerfood.com.au for inexpensive options.
• Decadent Dessert Receptions are held from 1- 4pm or after an evening wedding. Serve an extensive assortment of rich desserts such as cheese cakes, tarts, tortes, cookies, pies, cakes, pastries, cobblers, biscotti, ice cream, sundaes, and candies. Serve coffee, tea, and other beverages.
• You can cut costs by using paper and plastic goods instead of glassware, china plates, cloth napkins, and silverware.

Thinking of planning a wedding reception party? First of all CONGRATULATIONS! We all know that planning a wedding can be stressful but we want to help you in every way we can. If you want to make a lasting impression on your guests then choose a good wedding caterer or company since good food and beverages stick in the minds of guests for quite some time. Your aim should be to find a caterer that suits your style, need and also fits in your budget. At times, you have no choice in selecting a caterer if your reception site has a contract with an exclusive caterer. But at many good reception sites, you will have the freedom to choose the wedding caterer of your choice. We always do our best to find you the best caterer for all types of events and suggest My Wedding Caterer is reliable and a good value caterer. Book quickly though since their spaces fill up fast.

Make a detailed plan for the kind of reception you would like to give, such as theme of the party and various food requirements with elaborate planning for menu, courses, desserts, alcohol, wine, etc, and then narrow down your list of potential caterers based on the kind of service they provide.

Cost is not the only factor, but certainly an important factor in deciding a particular caterer. You should carefully compare the price quote given by different caterers for different services they offer. Often, there is a trade-off between the price quote and the quality of service, and you must bear this in mind while evaluating various options. Try to set up a meeting with caterers that you have short listed based on preliminary information they have provided in their brochure, price quotes or other details.

The quality of food served in the buffet is the most important consideration at the reception party and you should make it a point to sample taste the food and beverages that you are planning to provide in the party. When you have decided on a caterer, try to ask them for as much information as possible, such as cancellation and refund policy, meal plan, courses, detailed menu, number of staffs to be provided, charges for rentals.
