Most wedding catering services will require at least a 50% deposit down on the meal and service prior to the date. This deposit is typically non-refundable under any circumstances and it is important to understand what your obligations are if the wedding is cancelled or postponed.
Always get a written contract that includes all the details of the wedding catering service as well as the menu. This is important should there ever be a problem with the service plus it helps to ensure that details are not forgotten or misunderstood in verbal communication.
When looking for wedding catering services, there are several key things to talk to them about, of course. One that you may want to make sure of is that you mention if they are a licensed catering in your state. If there is an accident and they are not, you could be liable for it.
