Finding a wedding caterer is a seriously important element of your wedding planning. Anyone who has ever been to a wedding knows that the drinks served there—especially the wedding cocktail drinks—can make or break the mood, so you want to make sure you’re serving up the right stuff!
Looking for a caterer involves a number of elements, but the first thing to figure out is how many wedding guests you think you’re going to have and where (ish) you want to get married. We’re talking states and countries here, rather than suburbs and properties. Once you’ve tackled that then it’s time to talk budget. Roughly 40% of the average Australian wedding budget is allocated to the venue and food and drinks are often rolled into that percentage, so it will be part of your biggest ticket item by far.
Once you’ve figured out what your catering budget is, it’s time to take a look at different options! You can search by state or territory on the One Fine Day Wedding Directory, allowing you to filter out caterers that just don’t make sense for your big day logistically. Take a look at the pictures on each directory listing to get a sense of the drinks and see if it fits your wedding style.
If you feel as if the caterer matches your vision for your wedding day, and send an enquiry on the One Fine Day Wedding Directory so you can get quotes and available wedding dates directly from the beautiful venues themselves.
You can also check out the venue’s Instagram and watch videos of the venue managers—all on the One Fine Day Wedding Planning Directory. Plus, you can meet some of these caterers in person at the Wedding Expos in Australia, held in Sydney and Melbourne, and even taste their delicious drinks!
