How Catering Works
If you’ve ever attended a gallery opening, bridal shower, book signing, rehearsal dinner or even a school function, you’ve probably had a catering experience. When you attend an elegantly appointed wedding reception or a plated fund-raiser with food as tasty, if not tastier than the local dining hot-spots, you almost definitely have a catering team to thank.
Catering seems pretty straightforward and simple: You cook some food and serve it, right? That is the basic idea, but there’s more to it. A whole lot more .
First, let’s consider what defines catering today.
Food is definitely the star in the catering world, but it’s only one part of the equation. Chef Joel Dondis of Joel, a full service catering and event-planning company located in New Orleans, Louisiana, agrees. Like many catering companies today, Joel includes full event planning. As catering companies have moved toward the full-service, event-planning model, the focus has morphed.
It’s not that food is no longer a focal point, but rather that it is part of a broader mission. Dondis suggests that catering is about satisfying all the senses, thinking beyond the meal, making sure that the menu is as bespoke as the event so that we stand out, and so does your event:
From flatware to flowers, lighting to linens and tables to tunes, everything should complement the food to create a unified overall experience. According to Dondis , continuity is a key. You want every aspect to be in sync with each other. For example:
