Choose the Right Caterer For You!

Wedding celebrations are all about coming together in marriage, but no one can deny that food comes in a close second to hearing you say “I Do!”. As you search for the perfect caterer for your wedding day, we’ve got a few tips and tricks of the trade to help you narrow it down!

First and foremost, are you looking for a buffet style, a sit down dinner or want stations placed around the room? Certain caterers will be able to provide different styles of dinner for you based on what you are looking for! All styles work GREAT at Hawthorne House. We see buffet style most often in our space!

Second, what sounds delicious to you and your guests?! Are you looking for a classic steak, chicken and fish option? Brancato’s Catering or Scratch Kitchen might be a wonderful option! Fajitas tacos with chips and salsa? Brancato’s Catering, Hefter Catering and Scrape The Plate have got your back! Italian? Brancato’s Catering and Garozzo’s, no doubt! BBQ? We’ve got you covered with Brancato’s Catering and Jack Stack! (basically, there are so many amazing options, you cannot go wrong no matter what menu you’re looking for!)

Next, look for the caterers who can be your one stop shop! Book them for your linens, your chargers, plates, silverware, napkins and water glasses! This will relieve SO much work on your end the day of the wedding. They take care of the set-up and teardown of all items they bring in, so you can just sit back and relax!

Finally, ask them about Dietary Restrictions! Do they have flexibility to serve guests that are gluten free, dairy free or vegetarian? Some caterers have a pre-set menu for these guests while others are able to create unique dishes for them!

We have an incredible list of preferred caterers for you to work with on your big day! Brancato’s Catering, Jack Stack, Scratch Kitchen Catering, Garozzo’s, Hefter Catering, Scrape The Plate & Plaza Catering!
