What services do you provide for a wedding?
We manage all details so you are free to enjoy this memorable day. Let us
take over coordinating the arrival times with florist, DJ's, bakers,
preparing your appetizing meal and arranging for all rental equipment needs.
We take care of all set up, take down and clean up required by your
facility.
Our services include cutting and serving your wedding cake, pouring and
passing the champagne for the toast and a Captain available throughout your
event to oversee the details and see to your personal needs.
All your service staff, including bartenders, are provided. We will provide the required amount
of staff to properly service your event based on your requests.
What about menu planning?
How will you serve our meal, buffet or sit down?
We offer both buffet and sit down service. A buffet usually takes
more food but costs less because there is less staff required. A
sit-down meal requires less food but more staff expenses. Of course
whichever service you choose, your choice of entrees has a great deal of
impact on your final price.
What other factors need to be considered when doing menu
planning?
Do you have anyone with special dietary needs or vegetarians? We are always
prepared to meet any special needs.
What time of the day is your event? Receptions that fall between meal
periods require less food and are, therefore, less expensive. We will make
sure you are ordering appropriately for the time of day. Whether you are
planning a meal or Hors d'oeuvres we will guide you to be certain you are
ordering appropriately.
Are there children attending? Infants to four years of age are at no charge,
half price for children between the ages of five and eight, and full price
nine years of age and up.
Do you provide any decorations?
Often times, your florist will provide the centerpieces for seating tables
and floral arrangement for your buffet tables. If you choose, Colorado
Catering Company will be happy to make these arrangements as well. We
provide decorations for the buffet itself such as decorative linens,
organza, tulle, silk floral garlands etc. We will coordinate our décor with
your colors. If you are employing a particular theme we are happy to work
with that as well.
How will our event flow?
A walk through is done with you, your venue and your caterer. At that time,
a timeline will be established for all the particulars of the reception, set
up time, arrival time of guests, Hors d'Oeuvres, dinner, cake cutting,
champagne toast, first dance, bouquet, garter, time of last call, time DJ or
entertainment will stop and what time clean up will start are all outlined.
Throughout your event, we will have a Captain present to assure your time
line is followed. We coordinate announcements with the DJ as to when and
where the toast will happen, the cake cutting, first dance etc. You will not
need to worry about these details; the Captain will simply ask you if you
are ready!
How will we know if Colorado Catering Company will meet our budget?
Colorado Catering Company will prepare a complete proposal for you inclusive
of all charges, including service charges, delivery charges, taxes, labor
and all rental equipment. We display all the information. There are no
hidden charges or additional charges contingent on the event itself. This
process can be completed in person or over the phone. We have successfully
planned many wedding receptions via long distance, fax and e-mail.
How do we secure the services of Colorado Catering Company?
We will prepare a proposal. Once we have an accepted proposal and have met
your budget we will sign a contract securing the services of Colorado
Catering Company. You are free to change your mind and revise your menu,
increase or decrease your numbers, change the services that we provide. Any
additional charges will be discussed at the time of the changes and/or
additions are made. Weddings must be paid for in advance. Final payment is
due the last business day prior to your event by 3:00 PM.
When is our final count due?
Five days prior to your event you will need to make a final guarantee. From
that point forward you may increase your numbers but not drop below your
guaranteed count.
Do you provide alcohol?
Whether you are serving beer and wine, a full bar or a specialty drinks bar,
we can help with all arrangements. We will provide ice, fruit, mix, cocktail
napkins and glassware. These are called setups and there is a small charge
for this service.
We cannot, as caterers, sell liquor but we can arrange it for you. We will
guide you on amounts to properly serve your guests. We will place the order,
have it delivered, provide any additional equipment and supplies the liquor
store cannot provide, set up the bar and provide the bartenders to serve. We
work with liquor stores that will take returns and issue a credit on all
unopened bottles. This is provided as part of our service and there is no
mark up by us.
