What do buffet catering services include?
Special occasions call for a unique menu not part of your regular cooking. That’s why some people choose to hire a buffet service to take care of the food for weddings, birthdays, or corporate functions. In a buffet-style catering, they set up a plethora of hot dishes on buffet tables. Some services include servers who assist guests in getting their food, while others offer to drop off packages. Here’s what you can expect when you book buffet catering near you:
Corporate events
Having food delivered and served during a corporate event helps you focus on what matters - your business. Corporations hire buffet catering services for various occasions like working lunches, corporate retreats, conferences, and even recognition ceremonies. A buffet caterer may offer to drop off and set up the food for a self-service lunch with a set menu. This is best for smaller events like company picnics and working lunches. On the other hand, a buffet-style catering can be set up, complete with servers, rental tables, and decorations for bigger events like recognition programs and conferences.
Weddings
Weddings are extraordinary occasions. When you hire a wedding caterer, they pay significant attention to the event’s details. This includes communicating with the bride, groom, the wedding party, and the event coordinator. Some may even offer full-service wedding catering. Here, they are responsible for the decor, table arrangements, and sometimes food presentation.
Moreover, the catering service also coordinates the rentals, linen, and glassware. Buffet-style catering is an option for your food presentation at weddings. A tasting may even be done for you to sample the food you picked out. You can also hire a chef to whip up meals for you before deciding on a final menu. However, a buffet caterer will always be ready with set menus for you to choose from.
On the day of the event, your buffet catering service will set up the tables, chairs, linens, and dinnerware for you and your guests. Servers may be added to the package if you would want extra hands to go around to distribute beverages or add a dessert buffet to your package.
Social events
Social events offer a more intimate setup than corporate events and weddings. These are events where you can get professional help, from planing and decorating to creating a program. When it comes the food, you can hire birthday, housewarming or afternoon tea buffet catering services. Buffet caterers may choose to differ menus in every event. They do this to consider the allergies and preferences of an intimate guest list. You can finalize a menu with your buffet caterer before the event. You also choose to have a self-service buffet or one with minimal servers.

Organise and deliver Indian buffet for birthday party at home
$400
Fitzroy VIC, Australia
25th May 2022
Hi! I'm inviting friends for a birthday party at home. I'm looking for someone who is able to organise and deliver a low-key buffet-style dinner for us around 7-8pm on Saturday the 28th of May. Delivery to my house in central Fitzroy, VIC. You don't need to stay around to serve or clean up, I'm happy to take care of that. Just arrange the food and deliver it at around 7:30-8pm ish. I have enough plates, cutlery, etc., just need the food. We'll be 17 adults. All vegetarian, with probably at most 3 vegan. Ideally I was looking to arrange Indian-style food (spicier is better!), for example, 4 different curries, enough rice and naan or roti for the group, and some finger food like samosas or pakoras with atjar and so on. But I'd be thrilled to get input on the exact variety and the amount of food from an expert! Please don't hesitate if you need any clarification. - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, 28 May 2022
