Most important and major events would usually call for a caterer. Food is an element that cannot simply disappear on special occasions. You may actually prepare the food yourself; however, there is always a great difference in terms of preparation and style. This is where caterers come in. Basically, there are two types of catering services, one is the full service catering, and the other is a drop off catering. These two types have certain differences when it comes to the preparation of food, the style employed in laying out the food on the table, the personnel involved, and the price. Full service catering is the ideal choice for formal occasions. You can think of weddings, special birthday occasions, important corporate events, and great reunions. This type of catering involves special food preparation wherein design and quality are two of the most important considerations of the caterer. Foods are not only laid plain in a container but are placed on exquisite china with garnishes, flowers, leaves, and every other food dcor that you can think of. The arrangement of the food is simply gorgeous. Special linens are also used to highlight the banquet table and made more special with the right twists to match the motif of the event. Courteous waiters are present to attend to the needs of guests. Bartenders are at the bar, and attendants are also present. On the other hand a drop off service provided by catering Burlington Ontario companies is more suited for less formal occasions wherein you need to have plenty of great tasting food for a number of guests or event participants. You can opt for this type of catering for office luncheons, special outdoor events, instant or unplanned parties, and all other events that can be considered as informal. Most catering Niagara Ontario companies, have certain menus that you can choose from. Some of the packages come in combos, while there are also individual dishes that you can have. The price of catering is usually on a per person basis and there are always a minimum number of persons that caterers require before they can accommodate you. There are also catering Kitchener Ontario companies that offer either both full service and drop off services. Whatever type of events you would have, you will always find a catering service that would suit your needs.
