Caterer- Drop in VS. Full Service

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

When looking for a caterer for your wedding it’s always important to find the best one that fits your budget, taste amazing, and will provide the best service available.

With that in mind, would definitely suggest rather recommend that you select a full service caterer for your next event.

Let’s look at both sides:
Drop In Caterer:

  • They just drop the food and leave.
  • They don’t have linens, chafers, or utensils available which means you would have to rent.
  • You would have to rent everything from silverware, plates, chafers, linens, staffing, decorations..etc.
  • They do not clean up.

Full Service Caterer:

  • They provide you with staffing to serve the food, set up, clean up, and run the bar.
  • They offer a larger variety of items for you to use such as linens and silverware.
  • You have a on-site captain to oversee the entire event to ensure proper service.
  • Cake cutting is included with most caterers.

So for about the same price or just a tad bit more you will find that hiring a full service caterer will save you from all the headaches of hiring staff, setting up, or cleaning up your own wedding. Do you really want to be throwing away trash in your gorgeous wedding dress? Or any of your guests for that matter?

So my vote of course is for the full service caterer!

Happy reading!

Gelato Anyone?

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

I am coordinating a wedding coming up in May and they have decided to do a Gelato Station! Yes that’s right folks, you to can rent your very own Gelato station and amaze your friends! At roughly $3-$4 per person, not including staffing, you can have a variety of flavors such as Chocolate Mint, Vanilla, Strawberry, Espresso Chocolate and so much more! Yumm!! You can even select flavors that match your wedding such as Pistachio and Chocolate to match your Green & Chocolate colors. It adds a nice & tasty treat for the guests to enjoy after the cake. For more information check out this company: www.piccomolo.com!

Thanks again and Happy Reading!

Asian Wedding party favors

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Looking for that special party favor? Do you have an Asian theme or do you just like that clean look with the clean lines that it provides? I recently stumbled upon 2 websites that I found to be very interesting. They offer a variety of party favors of different themes and color schemes. And what’s nice about these sites is that they are very trendy and not cheesy.
Check these 2 out:
