Tip 7 - Do You Have Any Advice for Catering My Own Wedding? — Good Questions

Published: 9 years, 5 month(s) ago | Submitted by szadow | permalink

Q: I am getting married next year, most likely in either March or April. We are thinking we'll have a wedding party of about 100 to 120 people. I have always dreamed of catering my own wedding. I love to cook and it's something people know about me so it's important to me to give it a good college try before potentially hiring a caterer. My question is this: Has anyone in The Kitchn community undertaken such a feat at that time of year? I think it would be much easier in the summer because we could do an outdoor/grilling party but the summer won't work for us. I need ideas for indoor food. Any suggestions, advice, or support you all have to offer would be appreciated. Sent by Leann
