Food tasting is very crucial when finalising your wedding caterer. Asking for a tasting session from your caterer is very vital as you must ensure the quality of food is as per your expectations. Quality does not mean only the taste of the food but also the way food is presented. It is not necessary that food that looks good will also taste good and vice versa. It’s the food that people remember the most at any function so choosing the right wedding catering service is essential. During the food tasting you must pay attention to certain important things such as caterers hygiene levels, presentation skills, service and quality of food. You must check where the caterer is inviting you for food tasting? If the wedding caterer invites you to a function for food tasting you must question them about the dishes you would like for the wedding. You must also ask the wedding caterer about their production site or restaurant. You cannot trust a catering companies credibility if they ask you for a food tasting any where else other than its own facilities. The purpose of food tasting is to check the flavour & presentation of food that you wish to serve your wedding guests. Hence if your wedding caterer invites you to taste food that is prepared for someone else’s wedding as per their taste & flavour you would not do justice to yourself. At the same time you do not have a choice to taste the dishes you want as per your taste if you base your judgement on the wedding catering company on somebody else’s event.. Instead you are limited to only the dishes available at the function. It is also unfair if you walk into somebody else’s wedding without invitation for a food tasting. Your wedding caterer might give you reasons such as “you can check the quality of food in mass production” or “you can see how they run operations in an event” etc. However, the reality could be very different from what they say. Either the wedding caterer does not have a production site or it may not be good enough for clients to visit. Therefore, one must ensure to taste the dishes you like for your wedding and is prepared as per your taste and requirement. Ideal would be to choose 2 vegetarian and 2 non vegetarian items each from starters, main course and desserts. Any more items would only confuse your taste buds thereby making it difficult to decide what you want for your wedding. During the food tasting you must let your wedding caterer know if a certain ingredient you would like to add or remove from a dish  Alongside the wedding catering also pay attention to the quality of cutlery, crockery, linen & glassware used during the service. By visiting the wedding catering production site or restaurant you can judge the caterers capacity and capability to make your wedding a successful catering experience. Hence, food tasting to assess the catering service must be taken very seriously. Subject to a positive food tasting you must not delay to confirm the event. Like you there are other people willing to book the wedding caterer. Any delay might result in losing the date, wedding venue or caterer of your choice.
