Special events are a part of life. They stand out from ordinary “everyday” experiences, and they often live on in our memories — sometimes even for a lifetime. There are all kinds of different milestones and celebrations that occur throughout a given calendar year, and the vast majority of these gatherings have some type of food or drink to offer guests.
This is why professional catering has been such a growing and persistent business for so long. Making these planned events into bona fide memories requires professionalism, experience, training, and skill. Anybody who has prepared food for a dinner party has had a small taste of what’s required to prepare and serve the meal for a special occasion. The stakes are simply much higher, along with expectations of quality.
But if we think about the celebrations and events in our lives where professional catering services are needed, what comes to mind? Here are some of the most popular occasions for professional catering.
1. Weddings
Weddings are far and away one of the most important gatherings, and the reception should be something to remember. Some caterers have more experience than others when it comes to the high-pressure situation of catering a wedding. Make sure you find someone who knows their stuff!
2. Achievements
Achieving anything positive in life is worthy of praise and acknowledgment. Parties are a great way to convey praise for someone’s accomplishments, and professional catering can really up the ante. Common examples of such occasions include retirement, graduations, promotions, awards, grants, scholarships, housewarming parties, and more.
3. Birthdays
Birthdays are simply a given when it comes to a perfect party to cater. Most people will have at least 6 to 10 guests at a birthday party, which is a perfect catering occasion. For parties that have dozens of guests, catering is almost a must if you want to enjoy yourself. This is especially true for large birthday parties with 50 to 100 guests or more.
4. Holiday parties
The holidays are a wonderful but also stressful time for many people. So much thought and planning go into various holiday-related events that details can often slip through the cracks. A professional caterer who treats every holiday event with the importance it deserves can help eliminate stress and help you focus on enjoying the season.
5. Corporate functions
Entertaining colleagues and coworkers is an important part of forming professional bonds. There are innumerable corporate and company parties throughout the calendar year, and most of them are catered professionally. But as most of us know from first-hand experience, the spectrum of quality is very wide indeed. The most skilled and reputable caterers know how to keep their work on the upper end of that quality spectrum, time and time again.
Whether or not your event is on this list, it’s important to you. The caterer you choose to prepare and serve food and beverages at your event should consider it just as important to them, and should be able to earn your trust through clear communication, honest pricing, and plenty of past successes.
