Why a caterer can save your wedding

If your aunt or mother cooks to perfection, or if you've got a knack for it yourself, you may be tempted to take the plunge and take charge of your wedding meal. It's all to your credit!

And yet, when the serious business begins, calling in a caterer can save your event. Here are 5 reasons why.

1. Art... and hygiene

You've spent hours cutting your vegetables, chopping your herbs and seasoning your dishes. Your pots are full, and in the flavors that escape from them hovers the sweet sensation of having accomplished something great.
You've been there all day, but You've done it: you've made a success of your wedding dishes!

The question that now arises is more pragmatic, but essential: that of conservation.
How do you allow dishes to cool quickly in the summer? How do you keep all those dishes cool, first at home, then all the way to the reception venue?

With the risk of breaking the cold chain... and coming close to, or even causing, food contamination.
Step by step, one misstep follows another.

Unsupervised handling, keeping cold dishes at room temperature and poorly controlled reheating provide fertile ground for the proliferation of bacteria in food.

And it's likely that some of your guests will call you back the day after the wedding, victims, let's say, despite your precautions, of an unfortunate food incident...

What the caterer brings

Respecting the cold chain.
Knowledge hygiene and food safety rules.
The right equipment for transporting dishes and bringing them back to temperature.

So your wedding is not associated with food insecurity, but with an exquisite moment.

2. Quantity control

You can't cook for ten like you can for a hundred. While this reality is understood by all, it is difficult to grasp when confronted with it. Even if you calculate the dosage according to the number of people, you're not immune to certain faux pas.

3. Savings

Hiring a caterer allows you to control your budget and save money.

Your caterer will propose a formula that matches your budget as closely as possible, while respecting your specifications.

No wrong cost estimates, and no surprise charges at the end of the festivities.

What the caterer brings

Staying within budget: There's a tendency to think that doing it yourself is cheaper. But as the saying goes, "cheap can be expensive", and it's not every day you get married!

4. Peace of mind for all

Even if your aunt is a true cordon-bleu, it's likely that she'll tire of being behind the stove. For you, this is a source of stress, as it can lead to conflicts if time, quantities or service are not properly managed.
As a result, neither you nor your "in-house" cordon-bleu chef can enjoy the meal... and despite the quality of the event, you'll always be left with an unpleasant aftertaste.

What the caterer brings

Saving time, and peace of mind. For you, for your loved ones, for your better half. A caterer isn't just an executor: it's a resource team you can rely on, who'll think of those details you inevitably forget. And who will spare you the mental burden and guilt that comes with it.

Calling in a caterer isn't about denying your talents or those of your loved ones. It's about allow your family to fully enjoy the day with you, to be truly present.

After all, it's your wedding.

5. A personalized menu

The ceremony, the decorations, the theme: if everything has to be in the image of your couple, it's only natural that your wedding meal should be too.
