Catering services are a wonderful way to ensure everyone at your event has something mouth-watering to enjoy and that you don’t have to shoulder the burden of cooking and cleanup. Event types are unique, and there are specialty catering services to match them. Use the following guide to ensure you book what’s right for you.

Common Kinds of Catering Services

1. Corporate

Corporate catering ranges from a small office get-together to a larger function, such as a training seminar or award ceremony. Casual functions usually warrant basic food and snack services rather than full and multi-course meals; likewise, larger, formal functions, such as those reserved for upper management, may warrant more detailed dining. Catering services may also provide open bars.

2. Wedding

Wedding caterers go all out to provide a truly memorable meal for your special day. They specialize in larger weddings, and since you’ll have a definitive guest list, they can provide multi-course meals for the event. They often pair wines as well and sometimes handle table décor and serving station design. Look for catering services that specialize in the type of wedding you’re planning.

3. Social Event

If you want an easy eating solution for a birthday party, funeral reception, or bridal shower, social catering is perfect. They’re designed to serve smaller groups and usually provide a larger spread to accommodate food allergies and special diets, though all catering services will do the same. There are often fewer staff members, which can maintain the intimate nature of the gathering.
