1. Check reputation and customer testimonials

Take advantage of new technologies and search the Internet for wedding catering companies. You'll find several sites with a diversified offer and adjusted to your budget, but don't stop by the home page, download menus to know the menus, and – mainly – check the company's reputation through customer testimonials, either on the site or on networks social media or even through ratings on websites of catering service providers. Your opinion is what matters the most, of course, but you have nothing to lose in cross-checking information, opinions, and advice from other customers before making a decision and choosing the one you think is the company that can offer the best catering for a party.

And along the way, don't fall into the temptation of hiring a homegrown or amateur service, because - even if it's an event for a small group of people - you might prefer a specialized catering service, as it has everything you need to have the party of your dreams, including complimentary services you may need.

3. Pay attention to the details

It is possible that in the group of guests for your wedding, birthday party, or business event are diabetics, celiacs, or other people with food allergies and intolerances.

Events & Sabores include in the menu you choose for your party, options for various types of diets, and food restrictions.

4. Choose the ideal menu for your party

It is estimated that at least 50% of an event's budget goes towards food and drink, so make sure the catering company you choose has the menu you want and that it fits into the budget available for the banquet. To be tastier, natural, and economical, the menu must-have seasonal products. But if you prefer something more innovative and unexpected, you will surely find a wide range of options: from typical Portuguese cuisine to international cuisine. However, remember to choose a catering company that respects the season of the year (hot dishes in winter, fresh dishes in summer) and don't ask them to serve anything too exotic, strong, or spicy. Opt for softer and more traditional tastes because the ideal is to choose a meal that can please most palates. If you want to surprise the guests,

Also, during your search for the best catering for a party, consider a more informal or more traditional banquet, one that includes an initial cocktail and then a meal with two main courses (one fish and one meat), dessert at the table, and then a buffet of sweets, fruits, and cheeses, etc. Today, there are many other options available, in addition to the classic menu: from buffet style, freer, to simple brunch.

At Eventos & Sabores the main menus are made up of tasty dishes of traditional Portuguese cuisine. And although we are open to your suggestions, we like to highlight the flavors that we know how to please the Portuguese. With us, you can start the celebration of a great event with a toast accompanied by veal croquettes and cod fritters, continue with a velvety vegetable cream, chipped cod covered in a macerated cornbread, and pork loin accompanied with sausage rice, roasted potatoes, and a trilogy of sautéed vegetables. To finish? A delicious dessert, fruit, and cheese buffet!

5. Order a tasting

Once you have gathered some catering companies that respond to your requirements and seem to be excellent candidates for the trophy “best catering for a party”, ask them to do a tasting in order to taste and choose the best menus to serve at your event. And don't forget to check the quantities served, the presentation of the dishes and, of course, to select a wine to match. When in doubt, trust the catering professionals with the most experience in banquets.
