Being An Event Caterer
I became interested in being an event caterer several years ago when my brother asked me to help plan something for his company. It was his responsibility to impress his boss and some prospective clients. I worked really hard to pull off something professional. It took a lot of effort and I believed that I could help people that didn’t have enough time to plan their own events.
As an event caterer, I provide everything that someone will need. I can include food, beverages, staff, entertainment and even flowers. There is no end to what I am willing to do for my clients. I have a fantastic reputation now as an event caterer and I haven’t had to turn down any jobs, yet, but I may have to soon.
I planned a corporate event last month that included the most services that I’ve ever been asked for at one event. I was referred to this company by someone I catered a wedding for last year. I think being an event caterer is a lot of fun.
I have more fun with large corporate events than I do with weddings. I think that is mostly because executives appreciate an event caterer making all of the choices and a bride wants to make all of the choices. I get to use my own creativity more with event planning.
There was an executive Christmas party that a local corporate world headquarters wanted to throw last year and they interviewed every event caterer in the area and chose me. I had so much fun planning this event. The corporation gave me a ridiculous budget and I used in ways that would make every guest feel like a stars.
I don’t think any other event caterer in our area will provide limo or valet services for the guests. I provide those services when they are requested. I also will design and send invitations to events and I know that no one else does that. I am completely full service and come with a lot of good recommendations.
The most fun that I’ve ever had planning an event was when my stepmother’s Red Hat Society group wanted an event caterer to create a memorable 65th birthday party for five of its members. We had an afternoon tea party and there were so many flowers and frills that I couldn’t help but smile. Those are some really fun women.
