Hi friends! Sometimes couples leave their food tasting session less than impressed, but don’t have the budget to incorporate higher end foods. Not to worry! There are some easy tweaks you can suggest to your caterer to help take things to the next level.

• Seasoning. Seriously, sometimes all a dish needs is some extra seasoning! Even something as simple as a few sprigs of rosemary or a hearty sauce can make a big difference.

• Presentation. Make sure the presentation is to your liking and think about ways to keep things interesting. For example, how about a platter of shoestring fries for the table rather than having them directly on the plate (where they risk getting soggy)?

• The sides. When you can’t spring for filet mignon, the sides can really help amp up your meal. Make sure the side dishes are colorful and flavorful.

 

Happy eating!
