The Mexican catering company you hire for your wedding makes a great impact on your pre-wedding stress level. Avoiding red flags from the beginning is crucial. Here are some of the top red flags you should look out for when choosing a caterer.

A bespoke approach

Different couples have unique needs and this is why wedding packages should be different. Customization and flexibility should be at the heart of what your caterer does. If the chef offers just one set menu then it might be a sign to consider another caterer.

Not willing to work with others

If your caterers are not willing to work directly with your event planner, you have got a red flag to wave. The two should be on the same page all times and if they are not then it is a sign of poor services on one of their parts.

Poor response time

In most businesses, emails should be answered within a day or two. However, the event industry depends on caterers to work on weekends and late hours. Sometimes, they can work for a lot of days in a row. Some leeway with communication times may be very necessary but if you notice a delayed response pattern, it could be a bad sign and you should consider hiring a different caterer.

Disorganized

Catering companies and event managers work on multiple events every week and it is in their best interest to be organized. If your catering company has skipped meetings, lost documents, or breezed over emails, you should go ahead and choose a different company.

Not listening

If you are just starting to get the feeling that your caterer only wants to do things their way then you could be having a big communication problem to deal with. It is not uncommon for couples to feel like they are not being heard by their caterer but it is cause for complaint.

Not willing to coordinate a tasting

It is not necessary to create their whole menu at the tasting but it should be your right to try the menu you are considering serving your guests before your wedding.

Over-promising

It is very common to think that agreeing to everything you say signifies good food service but that is not always the case. Sometimes, a caterer that says yes to whatever you say may not understand the challenges of what you are requesting. You should, therefore, be wary if the caterer agrees to everything you say.

Lack of transparency

It does not happen often but some caterers will promise you a lot of things to get a sale but seem to have amnesia about what they have agreed to later in during the planning process. If you want to avoid this, it is important to have everything you have agreed on with your Mexican catering company in a contract before signing the contract. Take time to go over the details
