BRING YOUR IDEAS
In your meetings with the professionals, make sure you go prepared with your ideas; since you have the first and final say on the catering, stating some guidelines for the experts to follow will help them prepare the service you always dreamt off. On the other hand, pay attention to the caterer’s suggestions since they might provide invaluable advice and suggestions for changes. They have catered for dozens of weddings after all.
