No matter how much you want your event to be a memorable one, you need to keep in mind the budget constraints. Here are some useful cost saving tips for your event catering.

Caterers take the responsibility of managing food for events, wedding, meetings, and corporates as well as overseeing the staffing of servers, chefs, and wait staff. Many caterers also handle event decoration, audiovisual equipment setup, and other key elements. The cost of each plate varies from a few hundred to thousands, depending on the spread of the menu. The quality of food depends on the caterers you chose. As an event planner looks after each and every everything thing they also need to look after catering. Catering totally depends on the budget being provided and a good caterer can help create an event that looks elegant.

There are many ways to make your event catering cost saving and sweet. Professionals offering Event catering in Dubai try to keep the event short and sweet. The short and sweet ceremony is what everyone prefers. But you can also reduce your expenses involved in the event catering with these useful tips: -

  • People eat with their eyes first, so focus on the presentation. Serving trays that are a bit different, like small tapes-style plates, can add a twist to the fare without adding to your bill." As presentation masters a lot try to keep it minimal yet elegant and try to be creative with the presentation décor.

  • Eliminate labor cost by screening staff according to the event and shortlist those that are truly going to be able to make a difference in service. Cost of labor for two or three personnel is preferable rather than fifteen to twenty labor who may not be cut out for it. Minimization of staff cuts down the cost to a great extent.

  • Try to make limited bar offerings more appealing. Instead of offering imported wine and beer, the beer selection could be pours of local micro-brews; wines can be lesser-known varieties, paired with complementary small plates. Sometimes you can choose to have less popular items but market it beautifully so that people will still be satisfied.

  • The best way is to skip special glassware, pick one glass that works for all the beverages you are offering. Single glass for every need reduces the budget.

  • Control portions of food. More food you offer you will lose more portion of food and it will lead to unbalanced food supply and can lead to mismanagement of food quantity resulting in higher costs

  • Cut the corners in such a manner that no one notices. For instance, consider serving coffee at the bar so that you can save on costs for items like sugar and creamers on each table.

  • The most important is the selection of venue, select a venue with a pre-existing kitchen and flexible load-in and load-out times will help save on the rental bill. Skip on the buffets and opt for plated meals instead. Reduces wastage of food and gives you a better idea of how much will you require.

In conclusion, facilities provided should be adequate yet at a low cost. Selection of venue, food should be selective and appropriate. You should start to see the savings almost immediately, which will make a big difference ultimately.
