How To Plan Your OC Wedding Reception Catering On A Budget
It’s so easy to overspend on your wedding catering. After all, it’s a rare, even a once-in-a lifetime event. Perhaps you grew up romanticizing royal weddings. Maybe you tear up during movie weddings where money is no object and everything seems picture perfect. Unfortunately, spending money you don’t have is a guaranteed way to skyrocket your stress. You don’t have to go broke to make your wedding day catering extra special. Just make sure the catering for your Orange County wedding is handled by a company with experience accommodating events both big and small. Here are some tips for planning your wedding reception catering on a budget.
Be Bold. Be Original
The average wedding catering cost is almost ten grand! If that number makes your eyes bulge, there’s a simple solution. Don’t have an average wedding. Those sit-down, plated wedding dinners populating traditional receptions are crazy expensive. So are venues that require in-house caterers. Even if you really love prime rib (and many of us don’t) there are way less expensive options. You can opt for apps. Passed wedding appetizers are light and pleasing. A brunch wedding can be both frugal and fun.
No matter what you choose, it’s important that your wedding catering company is up to the task. Taylor Made Cuisine’s wedding catering company lives up their name by catering unique receptions with personalized menus. TMC has captivated couples in communities like Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Orange. So, instead of expensive entrees and an open bar, choose hors d'oeuvres and wedding cocktail hours. Speaking of cocktail hours, consider a signature drink instead of a full bar. Wine and beer in lieu of hard liquor is another way to go. Some have even sipped success (and a lower price point) serving mocktails that taste as good as the real thing. Of course the main meal isn’t your only major expense.
Caketastrophe
You could buy a lot of things with the money you save by not getting a traditional wedding cake. Just imagine what else you could get for anywhere from $260 to over $1,000. Instead of a multi-tiered monstrosity, opt for delightful wedding dessert bars guaranteed to awaken the kid in you. Choosing an experienced confectionist means finding top-of the-line catering for your OC wedding at a bottom-line price. Taylor Made Cuisine wedding dessert catering has delivered delectable desserts for clients in Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Orange and across the region.
Go Plant Free
Animal protein is pricier than plant protein. Choosing a vegan or partially Vegan menu will satisfy so many of your guests who usually just settle for a salad. The staff at Taylor Made Cuisine catering company is skilled at creating plant-based menus for wedding receptions because of their experience delivering vegan and vegetarian meals that are animal product and soy free.
