Why should you consider hiring a caterer?

For starters, planning an event is stressful. There are so many things on the “to-do” list that it can become overwhelming. Oftentimes, you’re given the task to plan, organize and execute an event, which eats up all your free time and zaps you of your energy. As if life isn’t busy enough already, now you’ve got to be an event planner, too? Hiring a caterer takes some of the stress off of you, because the caterer takes on “worries” so you don’t have to: they worry about the napkins, the silverware, the drinks, and, of course, the food.

Caterers help you save time. If you had to plan a meal, cook it, and then figure out a way to serve it to a group, that’s obviously a lot of work. Just going to the store to stock up on ingredients is a chore in itself. With events, time is of the essence, right? And there are only so many hours in a day to get stuff done. So, to save time, hire a caterer like Figs and Honey to take care of a lot of the small details that go into event and party planning.

Another good thing about a catering service is that they bring their own unique spin to your event, such that the foods they prepare are ones you might never have thought to make on your own. Catering companies always end up having their own specialties– certain foods prepared in such a great way that they earn accolades and “a reputation.” Caterers can offer your event attendees foods prepared in a way that they’re not normally accustomed to, creating some culinary excitement for the party!

Finally, hiring a caterer shows your guests you care about them, because it’s quite professional. Rather than make them bring their own food (“potluck”), they get to be served, and the diverse offerings are delicious. Caterers put their time and energy into making a great overall presentation– the prepared foods look tantalizing and are presented in a way that’s typically so well done that people talk about the “set-up” for weeks or months afterward.
