Apart from the wedding venue, the food and drink arrangement will possible take up the biggest portion of your wedding expenditure. And, this simply means that role of wedding caterer or the chosen wedding catering in Glen Falls NY is paramount.

Catering costs are typically defined as "per-person" cost, often shortened in wedding fliers as "pp" after the amount. But keep in mind—the per-person cost often doesn't include all the elements: Tax and the gratuity (occasionally referred to as the "service charge") might be additional, and there may also be distinct per-person cost for the food, drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and even installation. So your actual per-person charge might end up being significantly more than you think. Don’t forget to carry your calculator when meeting with probable caterers to help you determine the real bottom line.


There are many other things to consider. At present, most caterers offer a range of other services in addition to catering services in Glen Falls NY. Some are genuine "event producers," offering crutches, special effects, décor—in other terms, all-inclusive event design. They might also be able to help in choosing a venue, coordinating your matter, or finding vendors. One task a caterer can't do, however, is cook up a 5-course dinner for $10 per person. When planning your wedding menu, be accurate about what you can serve considering your budget and the size of your guest list.


Now, before choosing a particular expert of wedding catering in Glen Falls NY, don’t forget to ask these questions.


  • Do you have my date available?
  • How many weddings do you attend per year, and how long have you been in the industry?
  • Have you done events at my venue? TIP: If you haven't finalized your location yet, ask the caterer if they can help you choose one.
  • Are you licensed by the local authority? Are you licensed to provide alcohol?
  • Will I need any licences for my event? If so, will you manage getting them?
  • Will you provide a banquet executive to coordinate the meal service or an on-site coordinator who will manage the entire event?
  • Can you help with other facets of the wedding like selecting other vendors, event design (e.g. decorative lighting, elaborate décor, theme-based events, etc.)?
  • Considering my budget, number of guests and event theme, what food choices would you suggest? Do you specialize in specific cuisines?
  • Do we have to work off a pre-set menu or can you create a special menu for our event? If I have a special dish I'd like, would you take up that?
  • Do you offer event bundles or is it totally à la carte? What precisely do your packages include?
  • Do you use all fresh items, meat, fish, etc.? Can you get organic or sustainably farmed ingredients?
  • Can you house dietary restrictions, such as kosher, vegan, etc.?
  • What décor do you provide for appetizer sections or buffet tables?
  • Do you offer package promotions such as chocolate fountains, ice statuaries, espresso machines or specialty exhibitions?
  • Can you do theme menus (e.g. barbecue, luau, etc.)? Would you also provide the décor?
