Planning an event comes with a long checklist, and one of the most important items is selecting the right caterer. David Graham Events has over 20 years of experience catering events throughout the Detroit Metropolitan area, and we’ve been asked countless questions about the process. Here are the most important ones you should ask before hiring a Detroit catering service.
What Experience Do You Have with My Type of Event?
Not all caterers have the same areas of expertise. As such, ask whether the caterer has experience with your specific event type. At David Graham Events, we specialize in wedding catering, corporate gatherings, and holiday parties, but we’re just as seasoned in more personal events like funeral gatherings, baby and bridal showers, graduations, and anniversaries. Regardless of your type of event, remember it’s not just about food; it’s about ensuring everything runs smoothly and your guests leave impressed.
What’s Included in the Catering Package?
Before making a commitment, get a clear understanding of what your catering package includes. Does it cover tableware, linens, service staff, and clean-up? Will there be carving or pasta stations, or maybe hors d’oeuvres passed during cocktail hour? Ultimately, it’s most convenient to have a full catering solution that take the guesswork out of planning.
Can You Accommodate Special Requests and Dietary Needs?
Don’t forget to ask about flexibility. Your guests may have dietary restrictions or food allergies, especially in this day in age where both are on the rise. Ultimately, you want to make sure the caterer you choose will be cognizant of restrictions and offer solutions to ensure everyone can enjoy a delicious meal.
