Ask Your Banquet Facility
For References
Assume for a moment you are married, you are back from your honeymoon for
over a month and the phone calls and letters from your wedding guests have not
stopped complimenting you on the reception facility, the food, the service, the
atmosphere. Great feeling, right ?
Would you have a problem recommending the caterer to another prospective
bride, calling you for your input? Of course not!
When booking your reception do
not accept an invitation for a free meal or a food tasting. Most of the times
these "tastings" are staged, just like a demo in a car dealership or the
beautiful model wearing your bridal gown.
The best way to check on potential Caterers,
Banquet Facilities or Hotels, --- let them supply you with the phone numbers of
their last 20 parties and call those people for their observation and
impressions. You will be surprised how helpful these phone calls are.
Only a very good and confident Banquet Facility
can open their book to you, the future bride and say: "Go ahead and call as many
past parties as you wish and ask for their impression about our food and
service!"
