Questions for Caterer?

First, you need to know where you're getting married! City, state, etc.

Second, you need to have an idea of how large your guest list is...

Third, what *type* of wedding do you want to have - rustic, urban, artsy, etc?

Fourth, what is your budget? The best way to figure out a realistic budget for your area is to try the "Planning Tools" link up at the top of the page. This will help you find out average prices where you want to get married, so you know if a venue is expensive or not.

Then you start looking at different venues. Wedding Wire and planning books usually offer great lists of questions to help guide you, once you get to that point.

You need to know a few things when looking caters like kids charge clean up leftovers when you make a contract have everything spelled out in it. Plated clearing plates if buffet everything and anything.

What’s included. How much extra tax and tip are. Availability which presumably you’ve asked before setting date.
