Self Catering a Wedding

Q: I am interested in creating my own menu for my wedding, but have found that most banquet halls have a set menu or caterer and do not offer this flexibility. What should I do?

A: This is true. Most banquet facilities have their own in-house caterer which they use for special events. This is their way of ensuring that they make a profit from the meal being served. However, there are some facilities which allow outside caterers to come in and use their space. The key is to find one! They are few and far between, so if this is of great importance to you, I would suggest beginning the hunt immediately. Also, if you’d like, you can hold the reception in a public place, or in your backyard, and have the caterers design a custom menu with you, and meet you on-site.
