When you're looking for fantastic food for your wedding you need to find a wedding caterer that will leave your guests feeling satisfied and ready to party long into the night.

Cuisine
The style of food you serve at your wedding reception can depend on your theme, on the season and on the time of day. If you're having a morning service why not put on a breakfast buffet and evening reception in the Spring might feature delicious lamb, fresh seasonal vegetables and maybe a rich chocolate mousse for dessert. If you want something more Eastern inspired why not have a noodle chef make your guests stir fry served in bamboo bowls lined with leaves.

Follow your nose
If you have a favourite restaurant then why not ask the chef to cater for your big day. Alternatively you could visit wedding fair to find a professional that suits you. Often at wedding fairs chefs can be foung demonstrating their abilities.

Budget
Decide on your budget and stick to it. Easier said than done but take your figure to any prospective caterers and let them create a menu or mirrored buffet around it and if they impress you regardless of the budget then give them serious consideration.

Style
It is important to know what you are getting when you choose a wedding caterer. Find out how they work. This is why having a word of mouth recommendation is great. Your wedding planner may have contacts. Look for a cater that can offer a good, professional service and doesn't cut costs. When you interview potential caterers ask how long they have been in the business and ask for details about the last job they did.
