For as long as it has been, food and events have always gone hand-in-hand. As there are varieties of food, catering options also come in many sorts and sizes. Crafted for your convenience, various catering styles are made to appropriately suit different types of events. If you’re planning an event and trying to decide on a catering service, consider the following pointers to determine the right type of catering for your event:

1. What type of event is it?

You need to first determine what type of event it will be before you finalise a catering option. Whether it be a social, exclusive, seasonal, entertainment or corporate event, you should first settle with the event type to narrow down your options further. Once you’ve settled your event type, you’ll be able to get a general idea of what type and style of food servings is suitable for the event. 

2. How many people are attending the event?

This is an important factor to consider when choosing a type of catering. By knowing exactly how many people are expected at the event, you’ll be able to sort out your options easily and pick out the more suitable ones. Do a proper number roundup of the people coming and remember to leave a little room for error. Include the plus ones (if any) and also consider the possibility of guests not attending the event. 

3. What’s your allocated budget?

After the two initial steps, you need to set a budget that you are willing to allocate for catering. This can seem quite tricky, but the fact of the matter is that there are great catering services that offer packages of value. For different packages, of course the menus are varied and differ from one another. So, carefully consider what you’re willing to spend on your catering package.
