Budget Wedding Caterers & Catering Equipment Hire
Wedding catering can be one of the greatest expenses in your wedding budget and is one of the only costs that will increase with every extra guest that you invite. There are endless options available for your wedding breakfast and evening food, therefore you need to do your research. If your venue supplies the catering this is ‘in-house’, whereas if you use an alternative company this is ‘outside catering’.
..................................
Whether you are looking to have a sit down three-course meal with waitresses or a wedding buffet, we recommend that you speak to at least three caterers to find one that is in your budget but also tastes delicious!
Staying in Budget
This will be one of your largest costs so saving money where you can will help you stay in budget. Wedding buffets can be a great alternative to a sit-down meal as these are often cheaper per head and don’t require the same number of staff for serving each dish as in a three-course meal. Why not consider a wedding barbeque or hog roast?
In-house vs Outside Caterers
When booking your wedding venue you may be told that you have to use the in-house caterers that they provide. A wedding package like this can work out more cost effective, especially when combined with other wedding essentials like flowers and decorations.
Outside caterers obviously offer you more flexibility, some of which are specifically suited to marquee weddings. Not all venues offer outside catering so be sure to check.
Wedding Barbecues
Wedding barbeques are a great cost-cutting alternative and perfect for a summer wedding! They require less staff from the venue as you do not require staff to serve. As a result, options like this and buffets are often more budget friendly.
The main thing is that the food is delicious so that you and your guests are satisfied! We have a handpicked selection of wedding caterers and suppliers that provide equipment, start your search here.
