We're looking at a venue that comes with it's own caterer, who is quite good I understand. Some of the other venues we're interested allow you to bring in your own...but I would still prefer to have an all-inclusive one so I don't have to find tables and everything. Ideally, we would have a restaurant cater that served the kind of food we want. But based on some of the venues, that wouldn't be possible or it wouldn't be easy.
We want to serve middle eastern cuisine. It's hands down our favorite cuisine. I'm wondering if your typical caterer/chef, who usually serves fancy American food, would be able to do that. We want a buffet actually - filled with kabobs, sauces, salads, etc.
