Measures To Help You Cut California Wedding Catering Cost

By Michael Obrien


If you are planning to have a small budget wedding, then the thing is to cut costs whenever you can. However, you have to ensure that as you cut the cost, you do not do it in a way that leaves your guests thinking that they attended the cheapest wedding in their lives. You could have a real chance of making significant differences by just changing the small things in the California wedding catering.

Reception is where the guests are entertained after the church service. Here too is where they will be entertained on all sorts of foods and drinks. If you make the reception fantastic, you are bound to succeed. Strive to ensure that your invited guests are impressed by offering great tasty food as well as those of high quality. The following are some of the things you should consider when cutting cost.

Catering your own food is one way by which you can save money. You could be having some of your relatives who are good with cooking. They will not refuse lending you a hand at your greatest hour of need. This also ensures that you do not spend money on caterers. However, you need to remember their effort and give them special praise during the acknowledgement speech.

Most people do not have friend or family caterers. In that case, they need to hire someone to do it for them. People make the mistake of using the hotel where they are holding the reception as the one to cater for their food needs. This is a very expensive option and also limits you on what you can choose since your choice is based on what they are offering. It is way cheaper to contract an independent company to provide the services for the guests.

Another tip is to save on beverages. Gone are the days where the bride and the groom could afford to pay for an open bar so that their guests could drink up to early morning of the next day. You can do this by placing 3 or 4 bottles of wine on every table. This gives the guests an option of either red or white wine. Lastly, you can leave out the champagne and tell your guests to use their favorite drinks when topping up for the toasts.

You could also save by holding individual picnic basket for every couple or family. Just have exciting mid morning picnics on lake banks where there is plenty of shade and sunshine. The baskets ought to contain food, cutlery as well as plates. For breakfast, consider serving muffins, cheese and fruit skewers. You can use soft grass found under big trees to seat the guests.

Holding a county-themed wedding is a great cost cutting measure. Many people confuse theme by matching the invitation and flavor to the theme. Theme includes choosing the right food that matches it. Personality choice according to the theme is also one way making it very interesting.

Austerity is an important thing especially given the current economic situation. It means tightening belts and cutting costs at the earliest opportunity. You do not have to avoid weddings but just ensure that you spend soberly because after the wedding, the real journey of life begins. Seize the opportunity and save for on the California wedding catering. It makes sense to do that.
