So many decisions to make…Firstly the reason for having the party. A birthday, Anniversary, Bar mitzvah, wedding, or corporate holiday party. Venue is of the utmost importance. Depending on what you are having, whether its a sport museum, or home party, or just a large venue-Gourmet Caterers can assist you with lots of suggestions-we have catered in most venues in Orange County so we can certainly advise you on whats out there. Then you have to decide what time of day you want your party. In Winter an outside venue would need to be a morning to midday party, or you would need to bring in heaters, although this is fine, its not optiomal. In Summer, a nice beach Luaui or outsid e BBQ is great. Entertainment is something else to think about, a disco, band, a comedian or kids entertainment, we can assist you with all of these and more. Decor is very important, and again Gourmet Caterers with all their experience can help you, create that special vibe and look for your party, we have lots of vendors that work with us. We also work with wonderful vendors who can help with Lighting, video, photography, decor and entertainment. Of course to us the most important is the Menu. Choosing the right menu to fit the right setting and right kind of party. We offer a lot of different Nationality catering. Mexican, Indian, Mediterranean, Asian, french and any other cuisine that you want, we love doing nationality stations. Also when planning the menus, do we need an appetizer hour, to either pass appetizers or an appetizer station, with cold or hot foods so guests can help themselves. Depending on the amount of guests that are invited, we have many options of serving the foods. We can have a few stations around the room, examples are a salad station with a selection of 6 salads, a meditteranean station with Schwarma, fellafel pita and fillings, a pasta station with a selection of three pastas and fresh hot pizza, and an asian station with sushi, and a couple of stir frys being done in front of guests. Or you could have all in one or two lines, salad and breadrolls, two main entrees- rare roast beef served with mushroom sauce, a stuffed chicken breast, two vegetables - asparagus and spinach, and two starches - a risotto rice and potatoes in onion sauce. And a dessert buffet, with an assortment of little pastries and dessert french style. Or you could have every course served to the table. We at Gourmet Caterers offer a great variety and can help you every step of the way to select competent vendors, great food and make it so you can enjoy your party like a guest.
