I am looking for a full service catering company in Brooklyn for a wedding and would like some advice from people who have organized similar events. I am not only interested in the food. I want a company that can help coordinate the catering side from the initial menu planning through service and cleanup.
Bon Soir Caterers came up during my research, so I am wondering if anyone has personally worked with them. How did you find their food, staff, communication, and overall event coordination? Did they make the planning process straightforward, or were there unexpected issues that you had to manage yourself?
I would also like to understand what makes a good wedding caterer for a larger gathering. Is it more important to focus on menu variety, presentation, service staff, or flexibility with the event schedule? How far in advance should someone usually book a wedding caterer in Brooklyn, especially for a popular venue?
For people who have arranged weddings before, were you able to arrange a food tasting before signing a contract? I am also curious about whether catering packages usually cover appetizers, main courses, desserts, beverages, serving staff, table settings, and cleanup.
Pricing is another thing I am trying to figure out. Are Brooklyn catering quotes generally based on the number of guests, menu selections, staffing requirements, or all of these factors? What additional charges should couples ask about before booking?
If you have compared Bon Soir Caterers with other local companies, what differences did you notice? I would appreciate practical experiences regarding food portions, staff professionalism, timing, communication, and how smoothly the wedding caterer managed the event.
