how to find a caterer that suits your needs
When looking for a caterer, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to food options, cost, and dietary needs. Here's what you can do to get started:
Research caterers in your area: Start by looking at The Rustica’s preferred vendor list which includes caterers such as Wild Thyme Catering, Tutto Fresco, Two Chicks and a Pot, and Mission BBQ to name just a few. These vendors work at the venue often and are skilled and efficient to make sure your food service runs smoothly.
Check their menus: Visit the caterers' websites or look at their menus to get an idea of the type of food they offer. Most caterers will offer a range of dishes, including appetizers, entrees, and desserts, but some may cater to specific cuisines or dietary requirements.
Compare costs: Check the prices of the caterers you've selected and compare them to see which ones fit your budget. Some caterers may offer all-inclusive packages or a per-person rate, so keep this in mind when comparing prices.
Ask about special dietary needs: If you or your guests have specific dietary needs like gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan, reach out to the caterer to see how they can accommodate them. Make sure to ask about any extra costs or menu changes.
Schedule a tasting: Finally, schedule a tasting with your top choices to try out the food before making a final decision. This will give you a chance to test the quality and taste of the food for yourself.
In doing these steps, you should be able to find a caterer that meets your needs and expectations and The Rustica’s list of preferred catering vendors is there to make it super simple!
