Questions about catering companies

Question

Are there catering companies out there that will let you buy all the food and then just have them cook and serve it?

Answer 1

You would be better off leting the cating companies purchase the food because they probably get better prices through their vendors and would not buy too much food because they are better at estimating how much food is needed.  There probably is some kind of OSHA law that would not allow the catering company to do this because if by chance you did not refrigerate it properly before you took it to them, you could make people sick and they would not want to be responsible for that.  You will be so busy with last minute wedding stuff that you are not going to have time to go shopping for food and transporting it to them.  Find another place to save money.  

Answer 2

It would all depends on the caterer.  they generally have accounts with food vendors and their costs should be lower then what most people can get.  

It cant hurt to call around and ask
