HOW TO CHOOSE A CATERER

A common misunderstanding about caterers is that they just cook some food and serve it. Is this the recipe for a successful event? These days the best caterers can offer a lot more than just food.

In this newsletter, and others to follow, we'll go behind the scenes to see how a Full Service Catering and Hospitality Company can assist you in planning your event. Our mission is to make your event an unforgettable experience.

From our first meeting, our experience in planning, preparation, seamless teamwork, and creativity guarantees your special and perfect day will be remembered long after the last glass is cleared away.

So Let's Begin ...

As a full service catering company, we focus not only on the food, but the entire dining experience. We take into consideration the whole event and how it satisfies the senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste.

At A KayTahRing Company, everything, from the decor to the glassware is to have special impact. From flatware to flowers, lighting to linens and tables to tunes, everything should complement the food. Whether it's a cocktail party or a wedding brunch, the goal is the same: welcoming the guests into an unforgettable experience.

So how do we accomplish this grand task? It all starts with a few simple questions...

In our next article we will focus on "The Meeting", building a relationship and understanding your needs.
