Top Five Ways to Keep Your Wedding Budget Manageable:

1. Set a budget and stick to it. Things can start adding up pretty quickly, so keeping in mind that more is less in 2008 should help you stay on track.

2. Set a limit on your guest list. This will ensure you don’t over extend your funds. The average wedding cost $100 per person, so by limiting your guest list to 100 people instead of 150, theoretically you could save around $5000.

3. Skip the five course sit down dinner. It takes more catering staff to prepare and serve a plated dinner, therefore it is more cost effective to have an elegant buffet.

4. Order a smaller cake. Everyone likes cake but not everyone needs a huge piece. As caterers we are always shock at the amount of cake that gets thrown out at EVERY wedding.

5. Offer a signature drink instead of a full bar. Limiting your guest selection will maximize you liquor return at the end of the night.

Eco Chic Boulder Caterers:

Environmentally friendly events are the hottest new trend in Boulder Colorado, especially for the 2008 Spring/Summer Wedding Season. Those who are interested are willing to pay the few extra dollars it takes to ensure they minimize their impact on the world. There are a few specific things you can look for when planning an eco-chic event that are still cost effective. First of all, it is important to hire a catering company that already participates in recycling programs; after all a real eco-friendly event start long before the guests arrive. Another great way to give back to the community is to use organic and locally produced foods which many caterers specialize in these days. Using real plates and silverware is still considered the most sustainable and elegant way to serve your guests. Where paper and plastic is needed you should only use compostable and biodegradable products. Although some of these ideas are a bit more expensive they are defiantly the way to go for the socially conscious individual of 2008.

Savory Cuisines Catering Services:

Caterers provide an array of services for all different types of clients. Here in Boulder Colorado, we find our job extends beyond the traditional scope of cooking and serving food. Often times we play the roles of nutritionists, meeting planners, wedding coordinators, rental companies, and confidants. At Savory Cuisines, we take the client through the motions of planning the event from start to finish. We first find out the guests preferences by establishing what kind of cuisine and service they want. Then we see if anyone has dietary restrictions or special requests. Since most of the time the budget is a concern, it is key to set the customer’s limitations in this area upfront. Designing the layout of the event is also important. By doing a walk-through we can ascertain a visual which will guarantee a smooth flow. We work exclusively with All Events Rental Company to ensure the tedious and expensive task of placing your order is done right. Lastly and most importantly, we are always there for our client when they need a guiding hand. It can be a confusing and overwhelming assignment to plan an event but at Savory Cuisines we there for you.

The Wedding Menu:

Creating the perfect menu has become top priority to the modern day bride and groom, and is now being seen as part of the theme. Across the board, menus have gone gourmet and are more personalized then ever! Traditional choices between beef and chicken are being replaced with interactive food stations and & decadent buffets. Considering the style of wedding will also help you decide what type of beverages to serve. One of the biggest trends right now, is to serve a signature cocktail instead of champagne. This can be a very budget friendly way to add some "pizzazz" to you event.
