You’ve picked a date, found a venue, booked the band and now it’s time to turn your attention to the food. Perhaps you’ve already selected a caterer or maybe you’re trying to decide between your top two or three and you’re wondering when or even if you should ask for a tasting. In most cases, the answer is, YES! Food is the most expensive line item on any event budget, and for many, the most important.
The Tasting isn’t just an important step in the process it is also, unequivocally, the most fun. Whether you are scheduling a tasting with your selected caterer to try to zero in on a final menu or are visiting a handful of caterers to help you select the perfect fit for your taste and budget, here are some dos and don’ts to help you get the most from your experience.

to Ranch Events
“My husband and I just had our wedding in June at the Seaside room in Marina Village hosted by Ranch Events. There are many great things I can say about them. For starters, they have very competitive pricing for wedding packages and their venues are beautiful! My husband and I have been to many weddings and ours was the first where we actually enjoyed the food! We were iffy about having to cater through Ranch, but during our tasting we were convinced. The food was delicious and all our guests truly enjoyed the ambiance of the venue and food. Megan was our wedding coordinator and she was fabulous! She was truly attentive and very open about the entire process. When first meeting her it felt like we’d known her for a long time and that was very reassuring for two people planning a wedding. The process can be overwhelming but Megan and the entire team at Ranch Events made it very smooth for us. I would highly recommend Ranch Events to anyone getting married. You don’t need to go anywhere else!”
A Ranch Events Planner can help you create an occasion that is…
The mood you want to set for your special occasion will depend upon the type of event you are hosting. The atmosphere you want for a wedding will be far different from the one you want for an employee appreciation dinner; which may also be different from what you need for a holiday celebration.
The Ranch Event Planner will assess your needs and requests so as to select the exact location and setting that will make your occasion perfect. Choosing the best menu and décor for the affair will help ensure the success of your event. Ranch Events takes pride in offering clients beautiful venues, delicious and diverse food menus, in-house bakery facilities, and a variety of party rentals to meet all your event needs.
