The menu tasting is the coveted appointment during the planning process for couples and parents. Why not? yummy food, good company and did I mention yummy food! I spoke in depth on our live video today regarding this, but here are some helpful tips!

1. When you select your menu, make sure you do the following: submit to the catering director a minimum of 14 days prior to the tasting, select up to 5 people to attend with you, select items that you are not sure how they taste (ie venture away from chicken), select 3-4 appetizers, 2-3 salads, 2-3 entrees, 2-3 specialty drinks (these number will vary amongst caterers).
2. Ask if there is a fee. If you have already paid a deposit to your caterer, there most likely is not a fee. If you are “shopping” a caterer, do understand there is possibly a fee. Most caterers will then apply that fee to your final bill if you decide to book them.
3. When you arrive at the tasting, make sure you do the following: have an empty belly, wear a mask, sit at your seat, take photos of each plate that arrives to the table and be ready to comment on flavor, presentation and desire to serve your guests.
