Catering is a tradeoff between your time and money. You can spend a lot of time planning, shopping, and then cooking or you can call upon a catering company to do anything from total event planning to food catering for you. Think about this point for a minute. If you have ever thrown a party, you already know how exhausting it can be. While you may have thrown a great get-together, you most likely didn’t get to enjoy much of it if you handled all the food and drinks yourself.
