What do party catering services include?
What’s a party without food? If you’re short on time or have hundreds of guests to feed, leave it to the experts and book a party catering near you!
With Airtasker, hiring party caterers is now easier than ever. Taskers can assist you with every aspect, from planning and crafting a menu everyone will love, customising it to match your event's theme, serving food during the event, and even taking care of after-party cleanup.
Ensure a hassle-free celebration by selecting any of these party catering services for your next event:
Buffet style catering
Buffets stand out as a popular and versatile catering option suitable for any type of event. This is because they offer several advantages: they are more economical and easier to organise, while still delighting guests with a wide selection of food choices. Buffets are particularly ideal for accommodating large crowds and sizable events like weddings and company events, as they allow hosts to cater to various dietary preferences. This type of party catering also encourages guests to serve themselves, so there’s no additional expense for servers and waitstaff.
Cocktail catering
If you’re hosting a party centred on mingling and socialization, such as corporate networking events, cocktail party catering is your best bet. This dining style features small plates, handhelds, outdoor herbs, and other appetiser-style food options, complemented by a bar and beverage service. Guests can savour these delightful offerings while standing at high-top cocktail tables or opt for bar stools or traditional dining room table seating.
Perfect for smaller venues, intimate gatherings, and pre-events preceding larger occasions like conferences, cocktail party catering is often more cost-effective than other dining choices.
Food stations
Setting up food stations is an interesting choice for party catering near you. They're reminiscent of buffets given the diverse variety of food and beverage options, but with a unique twist. For food stations, each table features a different type of food or drink. In Australia, some exciting trends include stations for tapas, taco bars, and even a doughnut wall and a food art station.
Food stations can be accommodated in any venue size, small or large. The dining options can also be easily tailored to theme-specific events, making them an excellent choice for Halloween parties or baby shower catering.
Plated Dining Service
If you want to take it up a notch, consider plated dining services. This is another popular party catering style often reserved for more formal events such as fundraisers and galas. Typically a fancier choice, this option also comes with a higher price tag.
Choosing plated dining requires thorough planning not only of the food options, but also the other various elements that make up the dining experience, including tableware, tables and chairs, linens, and waitstaff. With plated dining, meals are served by waitstaff to all guests at the same time. Guests can also select their dinner options from a predetermined menu provided when they RSVP to your event.
