Author: Jonathan TaylorIf you have never had to hire a caterer before, this may be a little strange. The best way to hire one is to interview a few before making a choice.

They are much more knowledgeable about this type of thing than you are so they would have a better idea what is served at different types of events. But do not allow them to think they are the only one you are considering, because in order to get your business, they may offer a good deal.When it comes to finding a caterer you know will be trustworthy, ask if there is one your company has used before.
