A wedding is one of the most important and memorable days of any couple’s life. Creating the perfect cuisine package that will leave a long lasting impression for you and all of your guests is paramount to the big day! We believe, every sight should make the mouth water and every bite should leave an explosion of taste. Catering is craftsmanship.

Together with Ibiza’s leading wedding experts and event companies as well as independently boasting of our own events management service, we strive to ensure our food menus and signature beverages are as every bit as memorable as the event itself.

But, how do you personally ensure your catering meets your expectations and creates the very best atmosphere?

We’ve put together a list of Top Tips to ensure you choose the right catering team for your wedding celebration. Read on to find out more –

What’s on Offer – The Research.

Selecting your catering and food menus is as every bit exquisite and exciting as all the other details of your wedding. Chances are you’ve already chosen your wedding planner (if you have one), you’ve chosen the venue and overall style and theme. Perhaps you’re just starting out and have chosen to do the planning yourselves and therefore you would benefit from a catering team like ‘The Ibiza Catering’ that is able to provide the entire event planning package, helping you to select the perfect venue location, organise rentals, equipment and all those finer details.

So, it’s time to start the research. Google or online research is always a good place to start. The glory of the web and social media is inspirational and the clarity of ideas you can achieve just through browsing is unmeasurable. When you are full of inspiration, then you can start typing away in that search engine for catering companies local to your wedding location.
Once a few companies have caught your attention, then we would strongly advise to be thorough and check all of their online reviews. Scan everywhere from google, websites, tripadvisor and social media. Get an informed opinion on any caterers style, customer satisfaction, professionalism and food quality – way before you proceed with any enquiries.

What’s your Style – Theme Vs Food

Your catering is often correlated with your wedding style. A country wedding may require a bbq and large buffets of salads and creamy potatoes to divulge into – whereas a formal white wedding is likely to require a matching formal sit down, fine dining. 5-course and fully serviced special menu.

Once you’ve chosen your style, you’ve sent a few enquiries to a bunch of caterers in the area and your fully informed regarding their prices and personal styles (plus you’ve scanned over all the reviews), it’s now the right time to select a few top caterers to interview and get tasting.

What to Look for in a Catering Service

When interviewing your potential caterers, it is important to really unfold their ethos, philosophy and commitment to their industry. Passion, experience and professionalism must transfer during this crucial time of selecting a foodie service.

At The Ibiza Catering we believe in providing first-class catering solutions to meet every need of every event. We go the extra mile and extend ourselves whenever we can in order to make every event a real celebration. This is the type of passion you should be looking for!

Catering should take pride in offering advice on the wealth of possibilities, providing high quality food, hospitality service, and demonstrate attentive professionalism where everyone feels personally cared for and bellies are left completely full.

Menu and Produce Quality

Wedding and event menus should be carefully composed by leading executive chefs of any high standard catering service. They should combine refined cuisine with beautiful, contemporary presentations and offer suitable options for all palettes and dietary requirements.

If there’s anything you need specifically, changes and negotiations should be available. Ask questions if you need to.  The quality of the food, produce used and preparation will be key to ensuring a perfect meal is served. Any caterer worthy of consideration will not have any problems in answering your questions and inevitably will have answers that are impressive and pleasing to hear.

Tasting

This is the fun part of the interview stage. You get to try all of these delicious foods on offer via your personal tasting session. It’s the only real opportunity to decide who will be your caterers and who meets your expectations, budget, style, presentation and food standard quality. Go ahead and enjoy all those unique plates for the afternoon!

Extra Services

Here you have the opportunity to ask how the catering team can benefit you further. What else can they provide to create the right deal?

Perhaps you have a wedding planner or an event stylist and so little extras like tablecloths, plates and cutlery are already provided for, or maybe you really need these items all in with your catering package. Can they also provide a wedding cake or should you seek one somewhere else? What about tables, chairs, lighting, props, flowers and overall management of the day. Few catering services may actually provide these additional services like us at ‘The Ibiza Catering, but if it’s something you need then it is definitely worth seeking out a catering service that can provide these add-ons! 

There is no request or question that should be missed at this stage. After all, now is the time to decide and sign a contractual agreement!
