When you plan any event, including wedding catering in Irvine, you need to plan each part of the event with great consideration. You need to put thought into the planning of the event because that is the way it is going to be a successful event. Take some time, sit down with a pen and paper, or make a spreadsheet, and go through all the different parts of the event that need planning. Some of these will include:-
- Date
- Venue
- Catering
- Refreshments
- Decor
- Flowers
- Photographer
- Music or DJ
And there will be more, depending on what you are arranging. Next to each of these make a list of people you are interested in. Make contact with them, have an interview or a conversation, and if you want to take it further, arrange a meeting. Then, if they are the one, make the booking, tick this off on your spreadsheet, and move on to the next aspect of the planning.

So you have the list of things you need to plan and a catering agency is one of them. Be very clear about your needs regarding catering. Do you want plated food, do you want buffet food, do you want food carts, do you want sophisticated food, elegant food, casual food, or a combination of plated and buffet, or plated and carts? Do you want an abundance of casual food or do you want more gourmet-style food? And then you need to go through similar questions with refreshments, flowers, decor, music, and all the plans. This way you will be clear with the suppliers and in return the suppliers will give you exactly what you want and what you are expecting. Some people use an event planner and some like to do it alone. Use wedding catering Irvine, either way.
