Weddings always steal our hearts here at Entrees Unlimited and we’ve catered many of them throughout the years. It’s always our pleasure to be a part of such a love-filled day.

As professional caterers, however, we know that wedding catering in San Jose can be stressful for couples. There are so many questions to answer, such as:

  • How much should we spend?
  • What kind of food should we serve?
  • How do we make it fit our theme?
  • Do we need an event planner for this?
  • Is table service or buffet style better?
  • Where do we get rental tables, linen, silverware, chairs and other equipment?
  • How about allergies and special diets?
  • Should we serve wine, beer or cocktails? Which will go best with the food?
  • Which catering restaurant in San Jose should we go with?
  • WHERE DO WE START?

Well, how about taking a deep breath first?

As your San Jose wedding caterers, Entrees Unlimited will take care of everything for you. That includes the food, service and even reception equipment rental if you need it.

But before that, you’ll need to decide on what you want. Here are some of our best tips for crafting the perfect wedding menu:

  1. 1. Set a San Jose catering budget early.

    Wedding catering is usually a big part of the budget— if not the biggest part. That’s why it’s important to set your budget ASAP. Not sure how to proceed with this part of your wedding planning? We’d love to help out, so feel free to call us anytime!

  2. 2. Pick out food you two actually like.

    Yes, you and your fiancé! A lot of couples worry about pleasing their guests, that they forget it’s their big day.

    Your San Jose wedding is a celebration of your love, so focus on the foods you like. In fact, we encourage you to incorporate highlights of your relationship in both the catering and event planning.

    For instance, is there a particular appetizer you shared during your first date? If you love to travel— do you have a favorite cuisine as a couple? You may also want your menu to represent your heritage.

    Don’t worry about your guests not liking the menu during your private event. Entrees Unlimited will make sure there are crowd-pleasing options in addition to what you have in mind!

  3. 3. Choose your wedding reception style.

    There are many styles of catering services to choose from, from interactive buffets to sit-down silver service. To help you pick one out, consider your theme. For instance, table service and handheld catering is perfect for formal weddings. On the other hand, buffets are ideal if you want a more fun, casual vibe for your special event.

  4. 4. Keep dietary requirements in mind.

    Be sure to check with your guests if they have any dietary requirements ahead of time. We’re always ready to accommodate these requests, so don’t hesitate to share them with us. We’ll make sure the food is safe and delicious for everyone during the service catering and event!

  5. 5. Adults only or are children welcome?

    Some couples want child-free weddings, while others want all the kids to come. Both are great options! If you’re in the latter camp, however, you may want to provide special menu options for them. Our chef and staff would be happy to help you figure this out, so feel free to mention it during our consultation.
