If you are the host of an event, you would want your guests to leave your event with happy faces and full stomachs. In order to ensure that, choosing the right menu is crucial. A couple of things to keep in mind while doing so are,
- Start it early, do not risk it with the last-minute chaos.
- Explore the options of wedding catering menus and compare them in various aspects including price, quality, options, quantity etc.
- Know your audience well; the whole purpose of the event is to make sure your guests are happy. Providing food, which they may not enjoy, might not serve the purpose.
- Do not juggle between too many cuisines. Many combinations in your mind can cause adverse effects like food poisoning. Having your guests, leave with an upset stomach would be the last thing you want in your wedding.
- When hosting an event in a specific location, sticking to the local cuisine is the best option. Even foreign guests are likely to show interest in the local cuisine.
- Keep it simple, too much of anything is not going to get any good.
- Make sure you do menu tasting beforehand, so as to ensure the quality and style of cooking is up to your expectations.
