   Catering, Food, 
Beverage, and Alternatives

.

.

.

.

.

Providing food and beverage is a common aspect of a wedding celebration.   Like most other aspects of your public celebration, you can handle this in any of a wide variety of ways.   Please remember, there is no right or wrong way, there is no fixed aspects, and like everything else about your wedding, the bottom line is: "Choose what makes you feel good?"  

With regard to food, budgets-restraints often need to be considered.   Here are the possibilities, listed from the simplest  and least expensive to the most elaborate, followed by a list of some of the local caterers in the Los Angeles, California area.

.

.

.

.

Catering Alternatives

No Food or Beverage:   

This is common when there is only a bride and groom and one or two witnesses.

.

.

A Champaign Toast:   

This is also common when there are only a few witnesses.

.

.

Champaign and Wedding Cake:   

This is also common when there are only a few witnesses.

.

.

A Family Affair:   

Make your wedding celebration a family affair.    Invite your family and friend to prepare some or all of the food.

.

.

Your Local Deli:   

If you choose to celebrate your wedding at your home, (inside or in the yard)  at a friend or family member's home, or in a local park or at the beach, check the deli departments in your local grocery stores.   They will put together anything you want, and most can do so at a relatively reasonable price.   Also, check their bakeries for wedding cakes.

.

.

Out to Dinner:   

With relative small wedding parties, up to perhaps thirty guests, everyone goes to a local restaurant and share dinner.   If you choose this option, be sure to pre-arrange your arrival at the restaurant so that they will have space reserved for you.  

.

Group Areas or Rooms at Restaurants:   

Call your favorite restaurants and ask if they have an area you can reserve for your wedding.   

.

.

Money-Saving Tips:   

Using the Right Words:

When you talk to any of the service providers regarding your celebration, avoid using the word wedding.  If you do, the price will often  go up significantly.    

Beverages: 

If you are planning on having liquor, wine, dink mixers and/or any type of beverage that you won't use after the wedding, then purchase these items from a store that will allow you to return for a full refund, any unopened bottles.

  Catering, Food, and Beverage

.

Here too, this can be a relatively simple affair.   It can also be an elaborate, twelve-course meal, or anything in between.

.

Any Location:   

Caterers will come to any location of your choosing and provide any style and amount of food you ask for.

.

.

Banquet Facilities:   

Wedding celebrations with a large number of guests are commonly held a banquet faculties.   In these settings, the ceremony and the banquet are both done at the same facility.   Outside caterers are rarely allowed at this type of wedding setting because the facility has its own kitchen or it has a pre-arrangement with a particular caterer.
