Caterers Etc of Essex, provide catering for all types of private parties, from small scale birthday parties to large scale weddings. As well as catering for all events, they also cater for events all across the country.
What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?
Where the event is and the type of event are the first things we need to know. Next, it's the number of guests this is for and if there are any special dietary requirements. Finally, payment method, budget spend per head and the type of venue that the event is to be held in.
What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When looking for a provider, checkout the profile page, the website and reviews, this will tell you about how far the provider has gone to try to sell their product. Then ask about the process or procedure for the day of the event, this will give you an idea of how professionally run the event will be run. Ask of the price and if this includes everything, with no extras on top. How many staff might attend the event and what type of equipment or vehicles might attend?
Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.
I started my business as I wanted to provide catering the way that I wanted to supply it. I wanted to give my customers whatever they wanted and required, without restricting them. It is not always about the budget that the customer has, because even the smallest of budgets can be accommodated for.
Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?
I would definitely recommend Add to Event to others as it has been a good source for business, plus developing the profile of the business and gathering feedback. All of the clients that I have had through Add to Event have been quality customers! I can think of many that have gone very well; in fact pretty much all of them; as the reviews show! I can think of the opening of the new H&M store in Cardiff, whereby we made and served mocktails, plus providing a cocktail bar for over 500 people; it went really well and lots of good feedback. As we provide many services, it is a good platform to be able to offer customers whatever they require. Whenever possible I try to promote Add to Event to other suppliers and customers. I have been told by customers that Add to Event has a very strong presence on the internet when doing Google searches.
