Most guests pronounce a wedding to be good, if they had great food. Hence the wedding feast has to be given particular care and attention. As the catering bill constitutes one of the largest expenses of a wedding budget, choosing the right caterer becomes an important task.

The main thing to keep in mind while choosing a caterer is to know about his reputation. Cross checking with people who have utilized that particular catering service is usually a good option. Also, service rendered by the caterer is another criteria. During a wedding, there should be a healthy ratio of waiters to guests. Another important aspect is the dinnerware being used by the caterer. One should make sure that it is not chipped, scratched or worn out.

The menu is chosen by the bride's family, but the dining hall and the table décor is the responsibility of the wedding caterer. Red-and-gold royal pavilion with lavish seating, gorgeous floral arrangements, buffet tables, silk draped reception areas, bars and dessert lounges is the customary décor of the dining halls.
