Your wedding menu is one of the most memorable parts of your big day.
Choosing the right caterer ensures that your guests enjoy a delicious and seamless dining experience.
At Kedma, we bring a unique blend of tradition and innovation, crafting unforgettable menus inspired by authentic Israeli and Middle Eastern flavors.
Before booking your wedding caterer, here are 10 essential questions to ask to make sure they are the perfect fit for your celebration.
Don’t Book Before You Know These!
1. Do You Specialize in Kosher or Middle Eastern Cuisine?
If you’re planning a Jewish wedding or want a Middle Eastern-inspired menu, it’s crucial to choose a caterer who specializes in these cuisines and understands the dietary laws and cultural significance of the dishes.
Kedma Catering prides itself on delivering authentic flavors with a modern touch, ensuring an elevated dining experience for you and your guests.
2. Are You Familiar with the Venue and Do You Offer On-Site Catering?
Ask if the caterer has experience working at your venue. If the venue doesn’t have a kitchen, find out if they offer off-site catering solutions.
Kedma Catering seamlessly adapts to various locations, offering both on-site and off-site catering with full logistical support.
3. What Are Your Menu Options, and Can We Customize Our Menu?
Check if the caterer offers set menus or if they allow customization to reflect your tastes, traditions, and dietary needs.
At Kedma, we tailor each menu to suit the couple’s unique vision, blending traditional Israeli dishes with contemporary culinary creativity.
4. Do You Provide Tastings Before We Book?
A tasting allows you to sample the quality and presentation of the food before making a commitment. Ask if there are additional fees for tastings.
Kedma Catering offers tastings so couples can experience our signature flavors firsthand before making their final decision.
5. What Are Your Kosher Certification and Supervision Policies?
If you require a kosher wedding, ensure the caterer is certified by a reputable kosher supervision agency and can adhere to your level of observance.
Kedma Catering operates under strict kosher guidelines, ensuring every dish meets the highest standards.
6. How Do You Handle Dietary Restrictions and Allergies?
Your guests may have specific dietary needs, such as gluten-free, vegan, or nut allergies. Ensure your caterer can accommodate these requests without compromising on taste.
Kedma Catering is experienced in crafting delicious meals for all dietary preferences while maintaining authentic flavors.
7. What is Included in Your Catering Package?
Clarify what the catering package covers—food, staff, rentals (tables, chairs, linens), service style (buffet, plated, or family-style), and bar service options.
Kedma offers comprehensive packages that include everything from custom menu creation to full-service event execution.
8. How Many Events Do You Handle Per Day?
Some caterers book multiple events on the same day. Ensure they have the capacity to provide the highest level of service and attention to your wedding.
Kedma Catering ensures each event receives the attention and dedication it deserves, with a highly trained team managing every detail.
9. What Are Your Pricing, Payment Terms, and Cancellation Policies?
Request a detailed breakdown of pricing, deposits, and final payment schedules. Ask about hidden fees, such as service charges or overtime costs, and understand their cancellation and refund policies.
Kedma Catering provides clear and transparent pricing with no hidden fees, ensuring peace of mind throughout your planning process.
10. Do You Offer Late-Night or After-Party Catering Options?
If you’re planning an after-party, check if the caterer offers late-night menu options, such as handheld bites or Middle Eastern street food, to keep guests fueled and entertained.
Kedma specializes in creative after-party menus featuring fresh-baked pita, shawarma sliders, and other Israeli street food favorites.
By asking these questions, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of what your caterer offers and ensure that your wedding dining experience is everything you envision.
At Kedma, we are dedicated to providing a seamless, delicious, and unforgettable culinary experience for your special day.
