How to choose an event caterer.

1. The real quality of the cooking

Beyond the photos, ask who cooks. A real chef, fresh seasonal produce and food designed for the event: that is the foundation. Beware of industrial production reheated on site.

2. The ability to personalise

A good caterer does not run through a fixed catalogue: it builds the menu around your event, your image and your guests. Personalisation is a sign of seriousness.

3. The level of service

Trained maîtres d'hôtel, careful plating, fluid floor service: service is half the experience. Check that the brigade is qualified and sized for your event.

4. Logistics taken care of

Delivery, equipment, furniture, electricity, returning the venue to its original state: a serious event caterer handles the whole chain. Raise your venue's constraints early.

5. Drinks expertise

Food and wine pairing, champagne, mixology: the liquid side is too often neglected. A caterer with a network of sommeliers can source rare wines and elevate the meal.

6. A single point of contact

From the first conversation to clearing up, you should deal with one person: a project manager who orchestrates everything. That is the guarantee of an event without blind spots.

7. References and a transparent quote

Ask for references from comparable events and a quote detailed item by item. A supplier who is transparent about what it charges is one you can trust.
