Catering

Can you cater it yourself?

For many couples the answer is yes. My husband and I had thrown many large parties and events through the years. We knew what cooking for 200 looks like and had no trouble thinking of our favorite dishes. We also have the advantage of being two men. Our worries for the day were showering, shaving and and then finding something to do until we dressed for the ceremony. So self catering was an obvious. At the lesbian ceremonies I've been to, self catering was much less common. The big issue is how much free time will you have on the actual day of the event. If you're planning on preparing the food then buy the cake. But if you dream of baking a cake then hire a caterer. It's simply too difficult to do both.

If you're on the fence you may want to take a deep breath and do a reality check. There are three things that you may find helpful.

What kind of events have you held in the past? If you are really good at a large picnic it may or may not translate into a wedding. In the past have you handled cooking a large group? What have you done to keep a food cold or hot in the past? Do you have a full supply of serving equipment? Do you know anyone who can help with the planning and double check your work at the planning stage?

Make a budget . Will you needed to rent a place to prepare the food? Are you going to need to rent serving equipment? What are you going to do about tables and chairs? After you have your menu planned figure out the cost. Will you be hiring people to help you serve in cleanup?I hope so. After you figured out all your expenses get a total and compare that with the cost of a caterer. You may find that the caterer cost is worth the freedom from the headache.

Listen to what others have to say. Sure you're going to hear lots of horror stories. You also get the share of the dreamy fantasies . But if you talk to enough people here also going to get some terrific advice. If you get no help, don't give up hope. There are party planning books in the library at the local bookstores. Also look into books about becoming a caterer.
