(prHWY.com) September 7, 2012 - Usa, FL -- USA, Sep 07, 2012 - When selecting a food catering service for your occasion, taking a few steps to be well prepared will help ensure your event is all you hope for. At the initial meeting with a client, the caterer will need to know the type of event, how many guests, date, time, venue, menu ideas. Naturally the budget is important in determining to what extent the caterer can go in order to ensure the experience is all you expect, but a seasoned professional can offer ideas to enable you to have that experience within the parameters of a budget. One aspect of the event that can affect the cost, whether you want full event planning or not, is what time of day the event will be held, as this determines the amount of food you will need to provide.

Lunch Caterers Palm Beach - Guests require specific accommodations or menu considerations and be sure to inform the potential food catering company of these at the beginning. Decide how far you are willing to go in service to individuals. For example, if you want to offer sugar free alternatives, make known to the catering company early and they will be able to satisfy your requirements. There may be people with certain food allergies. While it is not your responsibility to please everyone, if it is a specific guest, such as a guest of honor or parents of the bride/groom, you may want to consider working around their needs.

The length of time for the event will determine many things as well. If you are to have entertainment, this will need to be planned into the itinerary and should be coordinated with the food catering service as well. Space will be more limited if a dance floor is part of the plan and this may determine whether it is a buffet or plated meal.
