If you are a bride-to-be in the midst of creating your dream wedding, you’ve probably got everything when it comes to the catering covered…or so you think. Here are ten unique wedding catering tips that you may have left off your list. 
•    Inquire with other vendors (e.g. the DJ or band, wedding planner, photographer, etc.) if they would like a meal; if so, remember to include them in your final head count. Some caterers charge less for “vendor” meals so make sure you let the caterer know which meals are specifically for vendors.
•    Make sure to ask your caterer to provide a “bride-and-groom basket” that is filled with samplings of the food at your reception. It’s highly likely you and your new spouse won’t have a chance to enjoy and eat all the wonderful food at the reception, so the basket will provide a tasty, late night snack.
•    ask about guaranteed or minimum numbers. Some catering companies provide price quotes based on a minimum number of guests such as 100; if you have fewer guests, you might be charged extra.
•    Consider the dietary restrictions of your guests; are there vegan or vegetarian needs or do some guests have allergy restrictions?
•    Make sure to know what the catering staff will be wearing and if their attire is appropriate for the formality (or non-formality) of your wedding.
•    One thing many brides might forget to do is to confirm the particular wedding caterer has all the proper health permits, licenses and insurance coverage to make sure both you and the caterer are protected should something happen.
•    If you and your new spouse are all about being eco-friendly, make sure your caterer is as well. Many caterers (including one renowned Utah catering company) are choosing to employ green practices that aregood for the Earth and their delicious cuisine. From buying local to recycling virtually everything, find out if a caterer utilizes green practices.
