As an experienced catering and events company serving the DC and greater Philadelphia areas, we know firsthand the incredible value that professional catering can bring to your next party, wedding, corporate event, or other celebration. While it may be tempting to try and handle the food and beverages yourself, there are so many benefits to leaving it in the capable hands of a catering expert.
Here are our top 5 reasons why you should consider hiring a professional catering and events company for your upcoming event:
Time & Stress Savings: Planning an event, whether it's a birthday party, corporate conference, or wedding reception, requires an enormous amount of coordination and attention to detail. As the host, you have so much to consider - everything from guest lists and invitations to decor and entertainment to food and drinks. Why not get a little support for some or all of it. A professional catering company will handle all the logistics of the dining experience, from menu planning to setup and cleanup. At Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events, we can also help with decor, entertainment, venue, theme, host gifts, and whatever else is on your list. This frees you up to actually look forward to and enjoy your own event.
Culinary Expertise: Caterers are culinary pros who live and breathe food and drink trends, delicious and well-coordinated menus, and delighting guests. They also understand important considerations like portion sizes, food safety, dietary restrictions, and how to present everything beautifully. When you hire a caterer, you're tapping into a level of culinary know-how that you simply can't replicate on your own.
Variety & Customization: One of the biggest benefits of working with a full service catering company is the ability to fully customize the menu to your tastes, event's theme, and even your budget. Whether you're craving classic comfort foods, innovative global cuisines, or a mix of passed hors d'oeuvres and grazing stations, a skilled catering team can bring your culinary vision to life.
Professionalism, Reliability & Service: When you hire a reputable catering company, you're getting a team of seasoned professionals who know how to execute events seamlessly. They'll arrive on time, set up efficiently, provide courteous and attentive service during the event, and ensure a smooth breakdown at the end of the night. At Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events, we also have years of experience delighting guests in our restaurants. This level of experience is simply invaluable when you're trying to pull off a flawless event.
Cost Effectiveness: Caterers have established relationships with vendors that allow them to secure better pricing on ingredients, rentals, and other supplies. They also have the back-of-house systems in place to prepare large quantities of food efficiently. When you factor in the time and effort you'd spend shopping, prepping, cooking, and serving, the value that a catering company provides becomes even more clear.
If you want to really dazzle your guests and enjoy your next party or event to the fullest, consider investing in professional catering services. At Founding Farmers Co. Catering & Events, we'd be honored to help make your next celebration the talk of the town, or your neighborhood, or your family, or even the office.
