How To Cut The Cost Of A California Wedding Catering

By Michael Obrien


If you are planning to have a small budget wedding, then the thing is to cut costs whenever you can. However, you have to ensure that as you cut the cost, you do not do it in a way that leaves your guests thinking that they attended the cheapest wedding in their lives. You could have a real chance of making significant differences by just changing the small things in the California wedding catering.

Usually, reception is a very important part of any wedding. The most important thing during a reception is the food you have prepared for your guests. Your wedding will be judged as successful depending on the kind of food and the level of satisfaction of people. Always thrive to ensure that your guests are impressed. The following are things to consider when cutting cost.

By catering your own food, you can really save some money as you will not have to pay for the service. This is especially so if you happen to have some of your relatives who are good cooks. At the end of the ceremony during the speeches time, remember to acknowledge them.

If you have to hire a caterer, you probably need to hire an independent company. This means that you do not have to choose from the menu of a hotel where you are having the reception. This is one way of drastically reducing the cost of the reception food. You can still afford a great but affordable wedding by hiring a marquee and a catering company as well as any location you deem fit.

Beverages and drinks is another area where you can save a great deal during the occasion. There is no point of buying alcoholic drinks for guests to drink till the wee hours of the morning. Just have some 3 or 4 glasses of wine placed at each table. This way, you are offering your guests the chance to either take white or red wine. You could also decide to leave out champagne as it is very expensive.

Another creative way of cutting costs is by giving your guests individual picnic baskets. This can be during a midmorning picnic at a great scenic beauty for instance, by a lake. The baskets need to contain crockery, juice, wine bottle and food. Breakfast idea includes cheese, muffins and fruit skewers.

Holding a county-themed wedding is a great cost cutting measure. Many people confuse theme by matching the invitation and flavor to the theme. Theme includes choosing the right food that matches it. Personality choice according to the theme is also one way making it very interesting.

The current economic situation has made people to be merely making both ends meet. Therefore, if you get the chance to save on your California wedding catering, you need to take it. There is no need to spend lavishly on the occasion only to run out of cash later. Remember there is still the honeymoon to go to.
