China, Glassware, & Catering Tips!

Dishes and glasses

I’ve noticed lately people are mixing and matching different pieces of china. I love it. Square dinner, rectangular salad and a round dessert plate looks great. Cobalt blue dishes and glasses have been pretty popular too. Don’t know how many to order? My best advice- ask your caterer. Chances are, they have done this for many years and have a better idea than I do. I worked for a few caterers for a while and can tell you very little about amounts. Buffet dishes- count on people to have seconds. If there are 100 people, I would say order 20 more dinner plates as a “just in case”. Worst comes to worst, your waitstaff can wash some. Bar glasses- this is a definite “Ask your caterer”. There is a certain formula consisting of what kind of beverages, how many different beverages and how long it is served.

Catering companies:

I have worked for large and small catering companies and I can come out saying this: They all cook great food. Some bigger companies can charge more because they are well known but keep in mind 90% went to the same school to cook. I have seen a lot of smaller companies take a quote from a larger company and make the same food for a better price. Make sure you shop around before making the final decision on your caterer, this is a huge part of your event people will remember. Some companies include dishes, glasses, linens, etc and some do not. This is affected in the price. If you see that your caterer has up charged some of these things, keep in mind: They are taking responsibility for these items. Glass and dish breakage is common, so is rips and holes in linens. Your caterer is also the one setting up, cleaning and putting away all of these items so the up charge may be worth it. There is a lot your caterer does behind the scenes that you may not notice during your event that makes your day flawless.
