SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Dec. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The holidays are busy, hectic, and joyful, and a secret reason for the joyfulness is that it is also a popular season for marriage proposals. "Wedding plans follow close behind the proposal meaning, now is the time to book the caterer," advises Leon Castillo from Popolo Catering in San Luis Obispo.
Wedding planning professionals report that the most popular days for marriage proposals are:
- Christmas Day
- Valentines Day
- Christmas Eve
- New Year's Day
- New Year's Eve
- The two weekends before Christmas Day.
Planning a wedding during the holidays might seem like overload, but the earlier the planning the better the chances of reserving the caterer. Most caterers are all booked for weddings for the coming year by late February or early March, reports Castillo. Booking the caterer early means the bride and wedding planner can relax about one important part of the wedding celebration.
Working with a caterer involves more than adding the wedding date and location to the appointment book and selecting a menu. But, once those things are out of the way, the bride can focus on the rest of her wedding plans. The San Luis Obispo caterer has prepared a "things to do" checklist for working with the caterer to help streamline the process for the bride and her wedding planner. The checklist includes:
- How many guests are expected? Catering prices are based on a per-person cost for the selected menu. Estimating the number of guests helps with budgeting and menu selection. The number of guests is expected to change some over the coming months, but an estimate is a starting point. Other things to consider include:
As the big day gets closer, communicate more frequently. Items to verify include:
- Is everything still on schedule?
- What issues need to be resolved?
- What is the final guest count?
- Are there any menu changes?
Finalize the setup, such as linens, table seating, serving stations, and serving times for meals, drinks, champagne, and the cake.
