Great food leaves a lasting impression. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, birthday, or baby shower, choosing the right caterer can make or break the guest experience. At Her Party Touch, we know how crucial this decision is—and we’re here to help you get it right.

From menu planning to presentation, your caterer plays a key role in making your event unforgettable. Here’s a helpful guide to finding the perfect match for your vision and budget.

1. Define Your Event Style and Needs

Before reaching out to caterers, understand the style and tone of your event. Is it a formal dinner or a casual backyard celebration? Buffet, plated, or food stations? Knowing your guest count, cuisine preferences, and service style will help narrow your options.

2. Research Local Caterers and Read Reviews

Check online reviews, social media, and event websites for caterers with solid reputations. Ask for recommendations from friends, venues, or your event planner. Make a shortlist of companies that match your event’s needs and budget range.

3. Taste Test and Ask Questions

Never skip the tasting! This is your chance to sample dishes, assess portion sizes, and gauge presentation. Ask about sourcing ingredients, menu flexibility, and how they handle dietary restrictions or allergies.

4. Check for Licenses and Insurance

Make sure your chosen caterer is fully licensed and insured. A professional team will have food safety certifications and health permits in place. This gives you peace of mind on the big day.

5. Consider Presentation and Rentals

Beyond taste, your caterer should offer stylish presentation and serving options that match your event’s décor. At Her Party Touch, we provide both catering support and elegant rental items like serving trays, tables, linens, and more.

6. Review the Contract

Always review the contract carefully. Look out for menu breakdowns, service fees, cancellation policies, and payment schedules. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or request adjustments to ensure everything is clear.

7. Work With a Full-Service Team

The best catering experiences come from teams that work with you on every detail. At Her Party Touch, we go beyond catering—we help you design the perfect event space with rental items, styling services, and seamless coordination.
