One of the most important days in your life is going to be your wedding day. So when you are planning for your big day, you want it all to be perfect. The catering has to be absolutely spectacular that day because it's going to be what most people remember about your event. Sure, they're going to love watching you walk down the aisle and say your vows and be around all the love, but sometimes, it's all about the food.

The one thing you need to remember about wedding catering, whether you're choosing to book Saint Germain Catering or you want to go with a local takeout joint, you need to be specific about what you want. Do you want something elegant and a sit down meal with multiple courses, or do you want people to be able to dance the night away while holding a bacon sandwich in their hands? It's important that you choose the best caterer to manage the food department on your special day, and here are some tips to make sure that that goes off without a hitch.

1. Work on your budget. If you've got champagne tastes but a lemonade budget, then you need to put your budget together first before you start choosing caterers to sample. Budgeting is the most crucial thing that you have to decide on because you may have to pay per head. Consider the fact that you need to think of a budget and then break it down per person so that when you approach caterers, you can figure out what you can afford.

2. Test before you cement anything. Keep your options and your mind open. There is nothing wrong with meeting with 4-5 different caterers before you pick the one for the event. They should all be similar to one another in terms of the theme you're looking for, but you need to consider the different budgets and the different ways they cook.

3. Get reviews. Most planners and caterers and wedding vendors will always have reviews and references. It's so important that you check the efficiency of the caterer that you go with and how good they are at their service because it doesn't just come down to the taste but the overall setup, delivery and take away.

4. Consider serving styles and dinnerware. Do you want people eating family style or would you like everybody served individually? It happens a lot that the venue won't accommodate you with the facility of the dinnerware required, so you have to make sure that you discuss it with your caterer first. Some caterers will provide that property dinnerware and linen to the tables at an additional cost.

5. Choose a great communicator. As your wedding is the most important day of your life, it makes sense to have somebody who's actually going to discuss things with you and answer the phone. You have to be constantly communicating with the planners and caterers at all times and check their profile to see how efficient they are at doing so.
