When my husband and I tied the knot last year, we didn't want anything lavish. Both of us did the big wedding and reception thing with our first spouses. This time around, we wanted a home wedding, complete with an intimate reception in the backyard. For the reception, we chose to hire a local caterer. From the first meeting, we knew the caterer would make sure everything was perfect. She came up with a menu that allowed for the dietary needs of our varied group of friends. She designed and ordered the cake, and even took care of setting up the tables and chairs. All we had to do was show up. If you and your beloved are planning something simple at home, it pays to work with the right caterer. Let me share how we worked with ours, and why we would do it again without hesitation.
Mobile catering involves the use of a concession vehicle or a food wagon. A catering crew will travel to the outdoor venue or private property where an event is being held. The attendees of an event can walk up to the vehicle and order food, or can select from a list of food items that have been prepared in advance.
A Mobile Service
A mobile catering service will eliminate the need to secure appliances or cooking gear. All of the equipment that is needed to cook or reheat food products will be contained within the vehicle that a catering company furnishes. A customer will not be hassled by needing to pick up food that they have ordered through a caterer. The customer can simply request some menu items for an upcoming event and the head caterer will acquire the ingredients needed to prepare the selections.
Because the cooking equipment will be inside of a catering vehicle, the property where an outdoor event is being held can be as fully decorated as one wishes. There won't be any commotion to interfere with the layout of the property. A mobile catering vehicle can be set up alongside a road or near the edge of a parcel of land. The equipment that is within a catering vehicle can be powered up with the use of a generator that the catering company supplies.
Distinct Food Types and the Dining Setup
If a specific type of food is being sought, an individual can research food venues that sell this food type. There are many restaurants that offer sitdown services and offsite catering services. For example, if a customer is seeking pizza for their event, they may decide to hire a caterer who works full-time at a local pizzeria that is popular. Although pizza is not the type of menu item that one may expect to be served at a fancy indoor venue, it definitely is a food item that will work well for a sporting event, a backyard pool party, or another informal event.
The dining setup that one uses for an outdoor catered affair should include plenty of tables and chairs for guests to use. Tables that contain umbrellas can be used to block sunlight. Waste receptacles should be acquired, prior to an event. The waste containers can be set up alongside the area where guests will be eating and next to each side of a mobile catering vehicle.
