Finding the Perfect Caterer: Step 1

By Mallory Cohen

Trying to find a caterer for your event can be a frustrating stressful experience.  But if you find the right person then they should do the opposite, taking away your stress, and leaving you excited about the possibilities.  The first step to finding someone who will do this for you is a simple phone call.  While on your call here are some questions to think about to help you determine whether you want to work with this company.  
  • Do the answers you get match the answers you hoped for?
  • Does the person on the other end sound excited to work with you? 
  • If you tell them that you’re getting married do they congratulate you?  Do they ask your fiancĂ©’s name?
  • If you already know do they ask for details?  Do they try to see exactly what your vision is?
  • Do they sound willing to make your vision come true?
  • If you don’t really know what you’re doing do they seem like they’ll be able to work with you to help you figure out what you want?
  • Are they able to answer your questions?
  • Have they worked before in the venues you are looking at?
  • How is their pricing?  Would they be able to work with your budget?
  • Do they get back to you in a timely manner?
  • Do they treat you as a person or as a job?


                After figuring out the answers to all these questions, and finding the person who best fits what you want, you are then ready to proceed into a stress free event of your dreams.

Wedding Dessert Favorites!


Wedding Dessert Favorites!
By Mallory Cohen

If you’re like me the best part of any meal is always dessert.  For a wedding in the past this has always meant wedding cake.  However, recently people tend to be steering towards mini passed desserts either in addition to or completely replacing wedding cake.  There are many different options that go along with this, some popular, with others a bit more unique.
                One of the more popular options is macaroons.  These come is a huge assortment of colors and flavors.  Because of this and their simple shape there are many different things you can do with them.  You can arrange then is a tier, as shown below, which is a very good option if you want to use them to replace a wedding cake.  You can also use specific colors to fit the theme of your wedding.




              

Another popular option is mini cupcakes.  These bite sized cupcakes lead to no guilt because they are so small. There are adorable with so many flavor and frosting options so no one will be disappointed. Many weddings will also have a wide variety of the mini desserts for their guests to choose from.  Below is a picture from an Esprit Events tasting that took place today.  On the platter you will see things like jello push pops, cake balls, mini mousse cups, fruit, and tarts.  With so many different choices the only downfall is people ending up too stuffed to be able to try them all.

Need a colorful theme for your next party?

Top three reasons to have a color themed party:
By Mallory Cohen

1)    Everybody loves themed parties.  But if there’s no specific holiday, and people want to stay classy rather than dressing in silly costumes colored themes are the way to go.

2)    They force you to be more creative.  Instead of just doing what you always do, you get to change things up by trying to find food/drinks/decorations that fit your color theme.

3)     It looks good it pictures. (nuff said)
