How many weddings or quinces do you do per year, and how long have you been in business?
Have you done events at my location? TIP: If you haven’t chosen your location yet, ask the caterer if they can help you select one.
Are you licensed by the state of Texas? Are you licensed to serve alcohol?
Will I need any permits for my event? If so, will you handle obtaining them?
Will you provide a banquet manager to coordinate the meal service or an on-site coordinator who will run the entire event?
Can you assist with other aspects of the wedding or quinces like selecting other vendors, event design (e.g. specialty lighting, elaborate décor, theme events, etc.)?
Given my budget, guest count and event style, what food choices would you recommend? Do you specialize in certain cuisines?
Do we have to work off a preset menu or can you create a custom menu for our event? If I have a special dish I’d like served, would you accommodate that?
Do you offer event packages or is everything à la carte? What exactly do your packages include?
Do you use all fresh produce, meat, fish, etc.?
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions, such as kosher, vegan, etc.?
What décor do you provide for appetizer stations or buffet tables?
Do you offer package upgrades such as chocolate fountains, ice sculptures, cappuccino machines or specialty displays?
Can you do theme menus (e.g. barbecue, luau, etc.)? Would you also provide the décor?
