How to brief an event caterer

• Lead with headcount and format. Tell caterers your guest numbers and whether you need plated, buffet, canapé or grazing service.
• Flag dietary requirements early. Confirm vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and allergy needs when you book, not on the day.
• Confirm what's included. Check whether staff, crockery, linen and setup are part of the quote or hired separately.
• Match catering to the venue. Some venues require in-house or preferred caterers — confirm before you sign.

Pair your caterer with the right space: browse event venues, filter by seating capacity for banquet and gala layouts, arrange delegate transport, or see what's coming up in the events calendar.
