We’re answering the most common questions our clients ask when planning with Eatertainment.
You asked, and we’re answering! At Eatertainment, we understand that planning an event can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to food, service, and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the most common questions we get about catering and event planning with us. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, corporate gala, private dinner, or cocktail soirée, here’s everything you need to know:
1. Can I customize the menu?
Absolutely! One of the best parts about working with our team is the flexibility to bring your culinary vision to life. Our chefs will collaborate with you to create a personalized menu that reflects your taste, dietary needs, and event theme.
Want a vegan-forward menu? No problem. Need gluten-free or allergy-friendly options? We’ve got you covered. Planning a cultural celebration and want dishes inspired by family traditions or global flavours? We’ll design a menu that feels authentic and memorable.
Every event is unique, and we believe the food should tell part of your story.
2. What’s the difference between plated and food station service?
Great question! The style of service can really set the tone for your event.
- Plated Meals: Guests are seated, and each course is served individually by our staff. This format offers a polished, formal dining experience that works beautifully for weddings, galas, and elegant dinners.
- Food Stations: Guests move around and visit interactive chef-led stations where dishes are prepared fresh on the spot. Food stations create a lively, social atmosphere and give guests plenty of choice and variety.
There’s no “one size fits all”, and our team will guide you through which style best matches your event.
3. Do you offer tastings before booking?
Yes! We know it’s important to feel confident about your menu before the big day. Tastings give you the chance to experience our culinary expertise firsthand, sample different dishes, and refine the selections with our chefs.
It’s also a fun part of the planning process. After all, who doesn’t love trying great food?
4. Do you also handle event planning beyond catering?
Yes, we’re more than just caterers! Eatertainment is a full-service event company, which means we can support you with everything from venue selection and décor to entertainment and staffing.
Think of us as your creative partners. We’ll help you choose the right venue for your vision, design an event flow that keeps guests engaged, and even source details like florals, lighting, or projection mapping to enhance the experience. Our goal is to take the stress off your plate so you can focus on enjoying your event.
5. Do you specialize in weddings?
We do! Weddings are some of the most special events we get to be part of.
If you already have a wedding planner, we’ll work seamlessly with them to ensure everything goes off without a hitch. If not, our experienced event team can step in to coordinate all aspects of your celebration, from timelines to décor. And, of course, we’ll design a fully customized menu that’s as unforgettable as the day itself.
Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a grand reception, we’re here to help you create the wedding of your dreams.
Event planning and catering don’t have to be overwhelming. With the right partner, the process can be exciting, creative, and fun. At Eatertainment, we pride ourselves on tailoring every event to the people behind it. From the first idea to the final toast, we’re here to make sure your celebration is seamless and memorable.
