Your big day is all planned out, you have chosen a date, decided on the venue and now it comes to one of the most important part of the event, the food. You may look for the best businesses that offer wedding catering in Colombo or you might decide on getting catering from your venue if they have this facility.  Tasting sessions are important and could be great fun. Follow the tips below to make sure you have a successful tasting session. 

Be flexible with the date and time of the test

Caterers might schedule your tasting session on a weekdays as they will be busy with events that take place during the weekends. The best time to schedule the tasting session would be during business hours. The last thing you'd like on your big day is for the caterers to pay attention to other tasting sessions, this is why it is always best to schedule them on a weekday. 

You cannot and should not expect to taste every item on the menu 

Taste the main items of the meal, you cannot taste every item on the menu, and if your event takes place a few months after the session, you should expect there to be a slight variation in how the food tastes or the final menu in general. 

Check if tasting sessions are free of charge 

If you have not booked the catering service or the venue, the caterer often charges for the tasting session and credit the amount charged back when you pay for the service. Discuss this with your service provider and remember to inquire the maximum number of guests allowed per tasting session. 

Feel free to ask questions

A tasting session is your best opportunity to meet the catering team that will be in charge of food preparation. You could inquire about the ingredients used and suggest tweaks or changes to the menu. The team would normally take notes to make sure food is served according to your requirements on the big day.
