NSN Productions Limited
The Musical Entertainment Agency
We are a musical entertainment agency, providing live music for corporate do’s, weddings, celebrations etc. Between the three of us, we have performed in and organised countless events: some of which are memorable for the most unusual reasons. We have experienced the highs and lows of ‘showbusiness’: the hissy fits, the stroppy divos, the paralytic leading lady, the absent leading man…. And those are just the clients…. But life can be a ‘Cabaret’: if you have a sense of humour.
We are currently selling a product which is wine tasting with a twist: this being musical entertainment by three lovely female singers, between wines. We have called the product “Wine, women and song”. Before Christmas we attended the committee meeting for a prim Home Counties Music Festival. Things were going well: the female committee members were attentive, if not slightly ‘sniffy’, whilst the retired colonel had fallen asleep with his mouth open. On describing the concept of the evening, with the girls singing after each wine, the colonel woke up with a start: “So the girls will take their clothes off then”. We didn’t get the engagement – mercifully.
Occasionally there can be a misunderstanding as to the role of the performer at an engagement or ‘gig’. I should stress that whilst tennis player, Pat Cash has a following based on his ability to remove his shirt, the average classical musician – and for this story read tenor, is unlikely, and unwilling to please the audience in this way. Last October, we were asked to provide a ‘Romantic Tenor’, to serenade at a birthday lunch at a restaurant on the King’s Road, Chelsea. Normally, he would sing operatic and neopolitan arias, whilst presenting the ladies with red roses and chocolates. We sent Justin, a blond 6’3” Adonis, dressed in tails, for the job. Little did he (or we) realise that the Chelsea ladies that lunch, were more interested in seeing his chest, and within 30 seconds were all screaming “Strip, strip!” to which our Justin ran out terrified. He has accepted no further gigs from us, but interestingly, the other tenors were very miffed that they WEREN’T asked….
Music plays a major role in creating the right atmosphere for a romantic occasion: whether it be a serenading tenor, guitarist or violinist. Last (2005) New Year’s Eve, we were performing at a venue where a number of guests had returned again, and they asked us for the ‘same requests as last year’. The memories of certain music: “Our song”, or favourite tunes, can mean so much to clients. So, gentlemen, do take this into account when you arrange your Valentine’s date – and not rely on Classic FM, which my husband did..
Some people are surprised that musicians can provide useful training opportunities for corporate clients. I have seen grown men – well senior managers, cry at musicians who work as a team – unlike their own department. Recently, we were invited to lead a singing workshop at a major conference, and were surprised to have over 70 volunteers. These ranged from the local Choral Society members, to ex-rugby players and stressed delegates that didn’t want to go back to their hotel rooms too early. Confronted with such a range of participants we decided to start with a group massage: steady, this was fully clothed – just neck and shoulders. We then continued with African chants, when an Irish delegate was taken ill: it transpired that he was so enraptured by watching a blond curvaceous accountant clapping and gigging to the chant, that he became dizzy and fainted. At these events, working as a team is crucial and the ex-rugby players came to their own in the ‘part singing’: drowning out the other parts – which rather annoyed the choral society singers, but by the end of the session, the stressed delegates were relaxed: their shoulders no longer by their ears. A great time was had by all.

Wedding Cakes - Texture Taste And Terror
By Daisy May
A guarantee to put a smile on the face of all your guests attending the wedding is when they are handed a slice of wedding cake also a few pounds in weight if not careful.
Wedding cakes will always hold second place to the bride in looking glamorous on this occasion. But as beautiful as the bride may be it is the cake we will be sinking our teeth into.
Wedding cakes are a major issue when piecing together your wedding plans. Cake type and flavours will be of your own choosing. Grand or simple from one tier two tier 3 4 5 if you want. This is your wedding cake so you get to decide. One very important thing you have to remember more tiers can lead to more tears if your budget is tight and you can not afford the cake you had your heart set on. Well let me let you in on a little secret which is, simple is just as tasty and pretty as eye candy. There is no difference in the cake that stands tall. This is about taste, so the simple round mound and the replica of the empire state building will both taste exactly the same. There is just one thing dont expect second helpings of the simple choice.
The wedding cake is finely detailed by the confectioner just like a creator at work on a piece of canvas. The works that goes behind the making of a wedding cake is not as simple as it may look especially when it comes to decorating and adding decorations. Heaven forbid should you try to pipe cream a wedding cake with the shakes.
Time is such an essential factor when ordering your wedding cake. It would be wise to talk with the bakery doing the catering to find out the best time to place the order. Your cake baker will know precisely how long it will take to make after you have given him/her the details on what design style flavour and ingredients. Be sure to ask how much it will cost because every little added extra to your wedding cake comes with a price.
If you are planning to wed in a flower garden or on the hot sun kissed beaches of Benidorm then let the confectioner know. If the baker has all this information under his hat he will attend to the needs of the wedding cake in a professional and sensible manner where he/she will deliver and place the cake in a suitable place. In other words they will protect it from the climate or weather conditions on the day.
There are some really fabulous books out there to help you with ideas on how to decorate your own cake; this is a great option if money is tight. All you need to do is order a plain wedding cake and take it from there. If you are terrified of botching it up dont fret, nip along to the baker and he will finish the job. Try it you really have nothing to lose but a little time. So what are you waiting for go save the pennies to put towards that going away outfit.
A fabulous site for all wedding essentials is http://www.your-wedding-planning-help.com If baking your own cake tickles your fancy then educate yourself on what you need to know http://www.allaboutonlineeducation.com

Wedding Napkins Tips and Ideas
By Raymond Miller
Your wedding is just a few months away and you are in the final stages of planning your wedding and wedding reception. Some of the items still on your list may be wedding favors.
Wedding favors include everything from small treats and gifts for your guests to wedding napkins.
Personalized wedding napkins are an excellent keepsake to remember your wedding. Available in several sizes including dinner napkins, luncheon napkins and cocktail napkins, custom printed napkins add a personal touch and character to your special day.
Cocktail napkins, also called beverage napkins, average 5″ x 5″ and are ideal for the cocktail or juice bar and wedding cake table. Printed with a design or monogram, the bride and groom’s names and wedding date, custom printed paper beverage napkins will delight your guests.
Plan on ordering 2 to 3 cocktail napkins per guest at the cocktail bar as guests will return several times to have their beverage refilled.
One cocktail napkin per guest is sufficient at the cake table as most guests will have only one slice of cake after the main course.
Luncheon Napkins are usually 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and are used at the buffet table or on the guest table.
Plan on ordering 1 to 2 luncheon napkins per guest is supplied at the buffet table or 1 napkin per guest if presented on the guest tables.
Dinner Napkins are usually 8 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and are typically folded and placed on the guest tables.
Plan on ordering 1 dinner napkin per guest.
Guest Towels have a unique shape. Measuring 8 1/2″ x 4 1/2″, rectangular shaped guest towels are typically used in the restrooms and wash areas. Their unique shape also makes guest towels a perfect fit for the guest tables.
Plan on ordering 2 to 3 guest towels per guest for the restrooms or 1 guest towel per guest for the dinner tables.
Another advantage to printed paper napkins is the many color options that are available to match your wedding colors or theme along with a large selection of imprint colors, designs, monograms and letter styles to choose from.
If you have contracted a catering service to provide all of your wedding reception food and beverage services, they may have already included napkins as part of their services and fee.
It is important to ask your caterer or wedding coordinator whether or not napkins are included and what type of napkins will be used.
An important question that is often overlooked is “Where will the wedding napkins be used during the reception?” Too often, napkins are placed at the guest table with little thought given to the wedding cake table. As guests line up to receive a slice of the wedding cake, they often receive their cake on a small plate with a fork but no napkin.
Another question to ask your caterer is “Will cocktail napkins be provided at the cocktail or juice bar?”
Whether you have yet to consider the type of wedding napkins you will use at your wedding reception or your caterer is already supplying your napkins, take a moment out of your busy schedule to determine what type of napkins you will need and where they will be used.
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Best wishes on your wedding day and to your new journey together!

MUSIC AT WEDDINGS
I have been a professional musician for 10 years, and have performed at numerous venues, for a wide variety of functions – including weddings. These are some of my favourite engagements!
I have lost count of the times people have remarked that they ‘wished they had had a professional musician,’ to perform at their wedding. Likewise, a professional live band, singer or instrumentalist at the ceremony or reception, completes your special day. This adds quality to your wedding as well as providing a memorable atmosphere for your guests – and yourself!
Singers and musicians can create a special atmosphere at your wedding, providing music that is to your taste, and to reflect your personality. As a soprano, I am often asked to sing Schubert’s ‘Ave Maria’, whilst the signing of the register is taking place. However, it is not to everyone’s taste – and not as appropriate for some civil weddings, but a singer could sing a favourite or particularly special song for the wedding couple – such as ‘My heart will go on’ or ‘I will always love you’ – I am sure you have your own special favourites! A singer or other musician can also be asked to perform when the bride arrives and leaves a church, or when the couple enter and leave a civil marriage. The possibilities are endless: and from your point of view, why not use the singer or musician if they are at the venue anyway!!
For the reception, the music you choose is entirely dependant upon the type of do you are having. For example, if you are having a disco, you might want to consider hiring a live band, who can design a programme of songs to suit your tastes. Do however, consider that some guests at the wedding will not have seen each other for some time, and might want to talk: we have all been at weddings where there is only one hall, and nowhere quiet to sit and talk!! Also, the volume needs to be suitable for the venue and not too loud – or quiet for the hall. It is always worth your while talking to the band prior to the wedding to check whether or not they do a sound check, how flexible they are about repertoire (for example, if no one is dancing will he change the music) and requests on the day.
Live music, can create a unique atmosphere at your reception and can easily be designed for the type of venue, reception and time as well as your personal tastes. I had a string quartet for my reception. They started to play when we arrived for drinks and moved onto the minstrel gallery for the wedding breakfast. They provided me with a list of repertoire and offered to play pieces that I specifically wanted, provided I gave them enough time to arrange them. Later on, I had a jazz trio to play; guests danced and it created a lively atmosphere. The music wasn’t too loud, so guests could still chat. It really worked! Another wedding we attended had a classical guitarist playing at the reception: everyone remarked on how lovely it was.
Finally; I have conducted some market research on live music for special occasions. The most significant results I had were: 98% wanted music that they knew and music that wasn’t too loud!
My top tips for successful live wedding music are as follows:
1. Listen to lots of music, to decide what style you want to include in your wedding service and reception
2. When contacting musicians, ask lots of questions: for example, how flexible are they with taking requests, sound checks, repertoire. My recommendation is to book someone that listens to your needs and wants to make your event special.
3. Request recordings and repertoire lists from musicians, and also letters of recommendation.
4. If you have an opportunity to hear musicians performing live, that is a better indication of how good they are. Recordings don’t always tell the truth!
5. Don’t be afraid to ask the musicians to adjust the volume if they are playing too loudly or too quietly for your needs. You want to create an atmosphere appropriate for your needs!
6. Listen to the advice from musicians; they might have some great ideas!
7. Consider the needs of your guests; not all age groups want to dance with a band or disco, and unless there is another room that they can sit and chat, they might not be very happy!
8. Don’t have music that is too loud: a lot of guests want to talk to people they haven’t seen for a while, and others really don’t like loud music.

Things That You Should Know About Wedding Centerpieces
By Holly Stevens
Having a perfect wedding is a dream of most couples. They want to have their wedding day as the most perfect event of their lives.
No wonder why many people are so engaged into wedding planning because the numerous details of the wedding should never be taken for granted. From the invitations down to the reception, every detail must be meticulously considered.
Take for example the wedding centerpieces. For some events, centerpieces are not that important and may not take much of preparation and consideration. But with weddings, these beautiful embellishments usually found in the reception are extremely important as these items, likewise, set the mood in the area.
Wedding centerpieces are not necessarily the “center of attraction” in the event. But they do complement the bride and the group along with the other details of the wedding.
Normally, wedding centerpieces are not included in the reception or the catering; hence, it is a must that you hire the best provider of wedding centerpieces.
So, for people who wish to obtain some tips on choosing wedding centerpieces, here are some pointers that you could use:
1. In most cases, flowers are the best wedding centerpieces. They add color and life in the reception area.
Best of all, flowers can enliven the spirit of those who are present in the reception. It gives a homey feeling, thus, making the reception program more fascinating.
2. Do not just go with the flowers. Consider the arranger as well. The flower arranger could also be the same arranger you have hired to decorate the church.
The wrong flower arrangement, color, and types of flowers used as centerpieces can do more harm than good. Hence, it is a must that pertinent details like this one should be considered seriously.
3. Shop around
Do not be constrained on one establishment only. It is best to shop around and get more ideas on wedding centerpieces. Flowers are not the only thing that is considered as good wedding centerpieces. You can also have some candles, glass bowls, floating and scented candles, etc.

Planning Your Wedding Reception With a Wine Tasting Party
By Ronald Thomas
Wine can be an important part of your wedding and picking which wine to serve, along with picking the caterer and deciding on a cake, one of the decisions you’ll have to make along the way that involves taste. But this is one decision you can use to bring friends together and have a little relaxing fun during the planning stages.
Most caterers will have a wine list available that includes one or two “house wines,” which are usually the lowest priced, and several more expensive labels for you to choose from. You’ll most likely choose both a red and white so everyone at the reception is accommodated. In certain states, California for example, restaurants allow you to bring in your own wine. While this seems like it might be a great way to go, they can charge what is known as a corkage fee, which can be as high as $30 or even more per bottle. Unless you want a very rare and expensive wine, it’s usually
better to go with something off the list.
Sometimes the decision comes down to money and sometimes it comes down to taste. But in either case, this is one taste test you can have fun with. When my wife and I got married we invited some friends over, bought a bottle of each of the wines offered at the reception location and had a wine tasting party.
Between my junior and senior years of college I worked in a wine shop where we had a bottle available for tasting every Saturday afternoon. The owner and I got along very well and he gave me my first lessons in wine tasting. I’ve been a student ever since.
While drinking wine might be a part of your everyday life, you probably don’t spend much time actually tasting it in comparison to other wines. Most people are intimidated when it comes to tasting or even selecting wine, but the first thing I learned was that no matter what anyone tells you, if you don’t like a particular wine then you just don’t like it. As far as selecting goes, in this case the wine has been pre-selected for us by the catering manager. We’re just going to narrow down the list.
For our party we made a small chart with each bottle on it and three columns. The columns were for Appearance, Smell and Taste. We asked each of our guests to score each wine with a number from 1 to 10. We also left a little space for impressions to be noted.
Before we get started though, the first thing, obviously, is to drink in moderation and make sure that everyone at your wine tasting makes it home safely so they can party at your wedding. Never drink and drive. In fact wine tasting doesn’t really even require drinking at all. Most professional tasters will spit the wine out after tasting it. It makes a lot of sense when you might taste dozens of wines in one day. (If you’ve seen the film Sideways, there’s a scene where the character played by Paul Giamatti is so desperate for a drink that he actually drinks from one of the buckets used for this.)
The first thing you’ll notice when you open a bottle and pour a glass is the color, or appearance of the wine. Red wine can vary greatly from a deep purple to rich brown while white wine can vary from a light brown to a yellowish green. While color won’t necessarily tell you if a wine is good or bad, a richer fuller red could indicate a richer, fuller taste while brown might actually mean the wine has gone bad. A richer colored white wine usually indicates one that’s sweeter while a clearer wine might be drier and crisper.
Next comes smell, or as wine aficionados call it, the bouquet. The bouquet of a wine can add an enormous amount to the overall experience of drinking it. At least half of what we eat and drink is experienced through smell. If you’ve ever had a bad cold with a stuffed up nose, you know that food can taste like nothing. But the bouquet of a good wine can be amazing if you really pay attention to it. Swirl it in your glass a little to release it and let it breath. Take a deep whiff and let it linger. You may start to notice smells you never noticed before. It might be musty or it might be
sharp, it might smell like a forest or it might smell like a garden. You never know and finding out and challenging yourself to recognize different traits in the bouquet is one of the things wine lovers love about wine.
Now it’s time to taste the wine. This isn’t a time to gulp or chug but a time to sip and let the wine linger on your tongue. In fact, let it roll around on your tongue. You experience taste differently through different parts of your tongue. If you really concentrate on it you can taste amazing things. Some wines will be drier than others (a function of how much sugar is in the wine,) leaving less of an aftertaste while some will be richer. Some will taste like oak, some like fruit, some might even taste like flowers. Again that discovery of taste is one of the things wine lovers love. It also fun at this point to discuss with your friends what you taste in a particular glass. You’ll be surprised at what people will taste and it might even surprise you a little that once they tell you, you’ll suddenly taste it as well. You may also want to try tasting the same wine again after the bottle has been open for a little while. Wine, especially red wine, breaths after being opened. In other words, it reacts with the air and the taste can change, in some cases drastically, after even a few minutes. Decanting a wine often speeds up this process, but may not be practical for a
tasting party.
It’s also important to have a small tray of crackers or bread or glasses of water available for your tasters to help cleanse their pallets between tastes, especially if you’re switching between red and white. It’s also a good idea to rinse out the glasses between bottles.
In the end, we tallied up the scores, read all the comments and ultimately picked the wine we liked best. Of course it just happened to be that the wine we liked most coincided with what our friends liked but don’t feel pressured. Enjoying wine is all about what you like and tasting wine is all about discovering what you like. We had a great meal afterwards and our friends felt honored that we let them help pick the wine for our wedding. As it turned out, we were so busy and having so much fun during our reception that neither of us really even remembers having a glass.

Tips for Selecting Wedding Musicians
By Gail Leino
Planning a wedding celebration can be crazy, fun, and overwhelming all at once! So many decisions, so little time. Menu? Decorations? Flowers? Wedding Invitations? Bridal Showers? Music? Lets focus on the music and share suggestions to ensure a successful wedding celebration.
Things happen so just keep cool and let the wedding professionals help you by virtue of their expertise! If you are a do it yourselfer, allow extra time for the learning curve. Just relax if stuff goes wrong like the ring bearer forgetting the ring up on the 16th floor of the hotel room or the ceremony starting 35 minutes late because Uncle Bob took a wrong turn driving to the church.
Always trust a professional. Remember: You are planning one wedding. Professional help plan thousands. Many people are looking for value today and may believe that because Aunt Bertha plays the piano, she’d be perfect as your cocktail pianist. Aunt Bertha may know “Love Me Tender” ~ but do you want to hear it over and over? Don’t disappoint your guests or yourself by cutting corners? If she wants to play as her gift to you, invite her to play one or two songs. Let Aunt Bertha be a guest. Leave the music to the professional who has a wide repertoire for everyone. They are able to take requests, play polished, professional arrangements ~ and do it all while smiling and carrying on a conversation without taking their hands off the keys.
For a beautiful, elegant, and classy wedding ceremony and reception use “live” music. Keep the CDs in the car. If you are absolutely on the tightest budget ~ you can hire a solo musician for what two dinner entrees or a lovely flower arrangement would cost. Do not cut corners with your ambience. Music sets the tone for your day. Your guests WILL notice. Keep this thought in mind for your wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, and your post nuptial champagne brunches.
Trust your friends for referrals that they have dealt with for their special occasions. If you don’t know of anyone, the facility where you are planning your event usually has a list of preferred Musicians for specializing in Wedding Ceremonies, Receptions, and Corporate Events. Ask your friend and the venue about Bands, Orchestras, DJ’s, Florists, Photographers, and Caterers. Just ask a Catering Coordinator for their list of Professional Musicians; this lists of recommended vendors most likely did not PAY to be listed! Anyone can get listed in a phone book or a wedding magazine for a fee. Recommendations cost nothing but are tremendously valuable resources.
Brides planning Catholic wedding ceremonies need to consult with the Musical Director of their local churches before selecting musicians. It is common practice for the church to REQUIRE you utilize their “in house” musicians and will not allow you to bring in “outside” vendors. Remember when planning your wedding, always trust a professional with a proven reputation. Enjoy your special day!

Having lived in Malawi for ten years, I have experienced first hand, how helpful it can be to have domestic staff. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a lazy person who hates washing up, but a busy person, who at the time had to keep a full time job. Having someone around the house, not only helped them to support their family, because they were now working, but gave me the freedom to work and socialise, simply because domestic chores were no longer on my agenda.
How I would love house staff again, especially now as The Friday Team are beginning to identify themselves and the sites get busy, but alas the budget won’t allow, just yet!
I often visit friends, who, like me, are also busy and as a result, their domestic chores pile up in front of them. How beneficial would it be, for them to have domestic staff?
Well, now you can treat them to their very own house boy for the day, as we discovered a unique, daring and hilarious idea for combining that need for domestic help, with an unforgettable suprise!
YOUR MATES WILL LOVE THIS…..
Sit back and relax while your very own HOUSE BOY scurries around with the hoover, brings your drinks and dusts your tables! Having a domestic cleaner has never been the same. You provide the cleaning materials and your house boy will work to your orders!
Why not hire Jeeves as your houseboy for…
Gift for a friends birthday
Pamper yourself for the day while you sit back and relax
Prize at a party for one lucky lady
Coffee morning
When your too busy to do the housework
What services do you offer?
“We offer a male servant, in a thong, to work for YOU at various LADIES ONLY HOUSE PARTIES. Every service involves a respectable, yet desirable male in a thong or g-string! We can help with party ideas and themes and we can also suggest and help set up party games and forfeits for either the servant to entertain you with or for the guests to have a go at themselves.”
How and why were Ladies Nights started?
“We started back in 2002 after careful consideration and research in to what women wanted. We noted the popularity of Male Strip Shows and asked what our female friends wanted. They said that many shows either went too far for their friends or didn’t go far enough. Basically they wanted a say in how the party went. They wanted to choose how far the stripper went rather than have to have the same show that the entertainers put on for EVERY group. They also enjoyed the Victorian romance and being waited on by a man. Having their own servant to work for them with the addition of a little titilation! We put all this together and came up with services that WOMEN REALLY WANT!”
What can we expect when we hire the service?
“You will receive a very hardworking male with a nice body. From then on its up to YOU! He will do as he’s told. Wear what he’s told and be YOUR fantasy! He will carry out the duties you requested him to do when you book with us. He will obey YOU and your guests throughout the night while wiggling his cute buttocks! He will be the perfect servant at YOUR beck and call and make your night that extra special!”
What duties will he perform for me?
“When you book your servant we will keep in contact with you for several weeks to ask about your event, who will be attending, what duties you wish him to carry out and what games or forfeits you may want. His duties can be anything from…
Greeting your guests on arrival
Pouring the drinks
Keeping glasses topped up
Lighting cigarettes
Washing up
Keeping the rooms tidy
Taking coats
Doing entertaining forfeits
Lap dance for a guest
Holding ashtrays
…. and a whole lot more on your command!!!!
You can chat with our staff by email and phone to keep us informed about your event and the duties you wish him to do.”
Why tire yourself out worrying about who’s got what drinks or if there is enough clean glasses to pour your friend another wine… when you’ve got a servant to do it for you! Just sit back and enjoy the party!
What are forfeits?
“They are simple, funny tasks that you can order your servant to do. They break the ice at a party and act as hilarious entertainment for your guests! They are often used as punishments for not obeying a guest or forgetting to address a Lady as M’lady and can be anything from…
20 Press ups
10 Spanks
Having ice cubes poured in his thong
… and many more!!
The ‘SERVANTS FORFEITS’ have become very popular and have the party crowd in raptures!!! See who can order him to do the most. There is a book full of forfeits that the guests can choose from every time they feel he ‘deserves’ a forfeit!
Are there any age restrictions at the parties?
“Yes. As you can imagine, with a semi-naked male in the room we have to put an age restriction of 18 on our services. We also are only allowed to offer our services for LADIES ONLY parties which means only Ladies over the age of 18 are allowed to attend your party if you choose one of our services.”
What type of party can we hire the male servant for?
“Basically any house party that is for Adult Ladies Only. Our servant has worked at many occasions from raunchy hen nights to tame business meetings. These may include…
Dinner Party
Garden Party
Hen Night
Birthday
Charity
Murder Mystery
Fancy Dress
Halloween
Christmas
Divorce Party
Lingerie Party
Ladies Business Network
Club Meetings
…. You name it and we can and have worked at all sorts of Ladies Only events!”

Choose the Right Catering Service
By Betty Durden
Food is an integral part of any party so one must choose a catering service wisely. But how does one choose the right caterer for an event? It is important to do a lot of research, check references, and often request a sampling to make your final decision.
List your catering needs In order for a caterer to provide an accurate estimate for your party or event, you must communicate your needs clearly. Do you have a location for your party/event reserved and is there a kitchen on site? How many guests are coming to your event? Find out if the potential caterer has a minimum guest requirement. Take into consideration that some of your guests may have special dietary needs and be certain to communicate this with your caterer. A great caterer will be ready for any surprise that may surface, but at what cost to you? Ask.
What is your catering budget?
Discuss your budget with your caterer and what options are available. Ask yourself, do you prefer a buffet style or a silver-service sit down dinner for your guests? Be clear about your proposed menu, do you have a theme or style at the event that will be reflected in the cuisine? Your budget may or may not determine how flexible your caterer is to meet your needs. Keep in mind; it is the type of food that often determines the bulk price of the catering job. Find out, and possibly request, if the caterer will provide a detailed contract of service and outline what the payment terms will be.
Where does the caterer shop?
Does the caterer use fresh or frozen food for recipes? Is the produce grown locally? Is it organic? Will any of the dishes be pre-made and then frozen until the party/event? Does anything come from a can? It happens! (Gasp).
Decorations
Does the potential caterer supply decorations, linens, tables & chairs? Very often there will be a brochure catering services supply with examples of past event and table decorations. It is important to be very clear in what your event needs and what the caterer will be supplying. Is a menu board provided for the guests that describes the ingredients of the dishes being served?
Wait-staff
Will the catering company provide a wait-staff? What is their required dress code? What is the ratio of servers to guests? A rule of thumb is one server for every 10 guests. Be certain to ask your potential caterer if taxes and gratuities are included in the final bid.
What happens to the leftovers? Often, upon request, a catering service will compile a food basket at no additional charge for the host or hostess of the event.
Remember, it is critical that you communicate with your potential caterer exactly you want; the result, you get what you want and the caterer can provide an accurate bid for the job as well as the exceptional service your event deserves.
