Planning any event begins with the simple question, 'What is being celebrated?" Settle on the why & you begin putting decisions that follow into perspective. And although the "why" may seem obvious, write it at the top of a notepad page & your planning has formally begun...

The first task is to set a date and select the location. Your guest list will follow, keeping the location capacity in mind. Style, scope & budget are the next considerations. Do you envision an informal gathering or an elaborate event? Are you planning a conference requiring a structured itinerary or a casual meeting. How much advance time can be dedicated as the event date draws near. Work to establish your budget. And with all this information at hand, it’s time to call your caterer and decide on the menu.

The occasion sets the tone for menu planning. Holidays often call for traditional recipes. Conferences may require a variety of menu items, while casual entertaining generally demands fewer courses. By now, your notepad page has all the details needed to help the caterer help you. A client-caterer partnership working together toward a common goal...the success of your event!
