Why you should consider using a Professional Caterer......

1. The cost of the hall and catering for your event will be one of the biggest expenses....Do you want to take a chance with a part-time, non-licensed person, or entrust it with a Professional, Licensed Caterer, that feeding people and executing events are their livelihood.
2. If something would happen to go wrong or the caterer damages the hall or makes your guests sick, is that person insured to handle the problem?
3. If your food is not being prepared in a safe, Commercial, Licensed Kitchen, you are taking the risk of making your guests sick.  The average person does not have the equipment, refrigeration, and /or proper sanitation procedures to ensure food wholesomeness for large parties.
4. Feeding people is a very serious undertaking; it is easy to make persons ill if proper sanitation and preparation standards aren't followed.  Licensed, Professional Caterers are required by law to operate and prepare to the highest standards of sanitation and food wholesomeness, to accept anything less, you are risking making people ill and possibly their lives.

There are Great Caterers waiting to help you plan a Perfect Event!

1. Professional Caterers are licensed by the State and Local Health departments, meaning they have met rigorous codes and sanitation standards.
2. Professional Caterers should be insured both at the cooking facility they are preparing at and Liability Insurance for where they serve (whether on their own premise or off premise)
3. Professional Caterers prepare all food in Licensed, Inspected and Insured commercial kitchens, most home kitchens do not meet this standard.  A commercial kitchen is inspected and has to pass the codes enforced by the local health departments, which ensures that there are not issues in sanitation, preparation, storage, and transporting of food.  EX. Where does your caterer wash their dishes, are they sanitized, and stored correctly, If not there is a chance of a food Bourne illness. 
4. Professional Caterers are experienced.  They take this business very serious, most have made this their livelihoods and they do it full time.
