Organising any event, whether it be a wedding, corporate event, or party, requires careful planning and execution. There is simply so much to take into consideration to ensure the success of the event. In our opinion, the most crucial element impacting the experience of your guests is the food. Catering can make or break your event.
Choosing the right catering company is essential to ensure that your guests are satisfied and your event runs smoothly. Sub-par catering can leave a sour taste in the mouth, literally and metaphorically; turning your event into a disaster!
In this blog post, we’ll explore why a catering company can make or break your event.
Food Quality and Presentation
The food served at your event has an enormous effect on the overall experience for your guests. An experienced catering company will offer a range of diverse menu options that are palatable for everyone. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients presented in a visually appealing way is guaranteed to give off the right impression to your guests.
Professionalism and Service
The professionalism and service displayed by a catering company are also key factors. The whole team here at Green Fig Catering are well trained and have huge amounts of experience in the service industry. As a bare minimum, a catering company should be providing friendly and attentive service to your guests. Being prompt with serving and clearing away dishes along with being presentable and well-mannered are all fundamentals.
A lack of professional service can rarely be amended by even the most delicious of foods. Rude table staff will always leave your guests feeling some animosity towards the catering and your event as a whole.
Flexibility and Customisation
We understand that no two events are the same. This is why we are incredibly flexible and do our best to tailor the catering to your event. Here at Green Fig, we only ever take on one large-scale event at a time. This allows us to then create a menu that suits your theme, budget and dietary requirements. A caterer who offers no customisation or menu options will limit your event and make things challenging to meet the preferences of your guests. This comes with experience in our industry.
Timeliness and Efficiency
A catering company who understands the importance of being punctual and efficient can make all the difference to your event. Unnecessary and avoidable delays have a huge impact on the overall flow of your event. Setting up late and cleaning inefficiently creates a disorganised space that you and your guest won’t appreciate.
Catering plays an enormous role in the success of an event of any calibre. Choosing the right catering company can elevate your day and the experience of your guests. Take your time, choose wisely, and your guests will thank you for it.
