At one time or another, you will find yourself in need of a caterer in Salt Lake City. It might be for a wedding reception, a dinner for your parent’s 30th wedding anniversary, your high school reunion or your company’s summer party. Whatever it is, we are here with 5 tips for choosing the right caterer.
- FULL SERVICE! Find out if your caterer is a full-service caterer. Honestly, what’s the point of hiring catering if you have to do the work. Make sure you are getting serving staff with the price per person. Many caterers are just drop-off caterers, which makes you the one that has to do all the work! With Rockwell Catering, we do the set up, clean up and serving for your event. Our staff isn’t only professional, but they are friendly and invested in your event. We want you to sit back and relax while we handle all the details.
- WHERE’S IN IT? If you are going to be paying for a caterer, make sure you know how they prepare their food. You want fresh, whole ingredients instead of canned or processed foods. Go ahead and ask your caterer where they source their food from and how it’s prepared. As a caterer in Salt Lake City, we love being able to take advantage of the local purveyors in the area and their goods. We love places like Wasatch Meats and Lehi Country Bakery for our events. And we think you will to.
- CAN I HAVE A TASTE? Speaking of the food, ask your caterer if you can taste the food BEFORE you book. Think of it like test driving a car. You want a caterer that doesn’t lock you in before you get to taste the food. With Rockwell Catering, we love having out customers taste our food they book so they are completely comfortable with us. And even more, we like bringing a tasting to you. This shows you how the food arrives at your event. You are able to see first-hand how great our food is even after it’s traveled in hot boxes and coolers from our kitchen.
- EXPERIENCE! When you choose a caterer, go with the one that has been around the block a time or two. We have been a caterer in Salt Lake City for 9 years. We have catered thousands of events, big and small. Our experience can be your secret weapon for a successful catered event. When you look for a caterer, look for experience.
- PICTURES! The best way to see what your caterer can do is to ask to see pictures. We are lucky to have many images of our events we have done as a caterer in Salt Lake City. By looking at images, you can get idea of how your event can look.
