whether your event will be successful or an evening of the same old boring
food and drinks. Once you’ve planned your event by choosing the day,
inviting the guests, and choosing a venue, now comes the tricky part –
planning the food and beverages for this catered event. Whether you’re a
first-time event planner and events manager or an old hand at putting
together catered menu events, it’s important to consider every step to ensure
excellent service, food, and beverages. The first thing to do in the event like
catering function is “Who is on your Guest List”.
 The guest list for a catered event can range from a small
gathering of friends to a large gathering of professional
business people. Knowing what type of event and who is
attending is the first step to a successful catering event. What is
the makeup of the guests invited to the event? Many business
people attend a lot of conferences and social events throughout
the year and get tired of eating the same old mediocre food. In
order to have your catered event stand out, consider the
following when planning the menu with your caterer:

 How formal or informal will the event be?

planning?

locally?

backgrounds?
