Planner's guide
PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT
Best For: Corporate events and business functions, cocktail receptions and networking mixers, wedding rehearsal dinners, private parties and celebrations
What planners usually like:
- Food and beverage vendors handle both components, reducing the need to coordinate multiple specialized providers
- Extended weekend hours (open until 8:00 PM on Sundays) accommodate event planning calls and last-minute adjustments
- Clear communication approach means fewer misunderstandings about menu selections and service logistics
- Established location in Boston provides familiarity with local event venues and their specific requirements
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm whether pricing covers service staff, bartenders, or if you're responsible for hiring those separately
- Ask about minimum guest counts or order values, as catering often has thresholds that affect per-person costs
- Discuss menu flexibility—whether they work from set packages or create custom menus based on your event theme and budget
- Verify delivery and setup procedures, including arrival times, equipment needs, and breakdown responsibilities
Common questions
What's the typical process for getting a catering quote from a Boston food vendor?
Contact Boston Beverage Catering directly at +1 617-637-7810 or through their website to discuss your guest count, event date, and general preferences. They'll guide you through menu options and provide a customized quote based on your specific needs. Most caterers in Boston require this consultation approach since pricing varies significantly by event scope and service level.
Can we see sample menus or do they work with custom requests?
Visit http://www.bostonbeveragecatering.com/ to review available options, or reach out directly to discuss your vision. Most Boston-area catering companies offer both preset menu packages and custom options, but the balance between the two varies. Discussing your dietary restrictions, theme, and preferences early helps determine what's feasible within your budget.
How far in advance should we book catering for a Boston event?
Ideally, contact caterers 4-6 weeks before your event date, though urgency varies by season. Boston's busy event calendar means summer weekends book quickly, while weekday events may have more flexibility. Since Boston Beverage Catering works with clear communication, they can advise you on availability once you call with your specific date.
What's included in the catering cost—staff, rentals, alcohol service?
This varies significantly and must be confirmed with the vendor. Some Boston caterers include service staff and bar setup; others provide food only. Ask specifically about gratuity policies, alcohol markup if BYOB isn't allowed, equipment rental charges, and whether rentals like linens or glassware are included or add to your final bill.
How do Boston caterers handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
Reputable food vendors maintain detailed tracking of ingredients and can usually accommodate common restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and nut allergies. Discuss your guest list's needs during the initial consultation so they can design appropriate menu options. Document all allergies in writing closer to your event date to ensure kitchen coordination.
What's the typical service model—butler-passed appetizers, buffet stations, plated meals?
Different event types call for different service styles, and Boston caterers offer various options. Cocktail receptions typically feature passed hors d'oeuvres or stations; sit-down dinners use plated service. Ask Boston Beverage Catering which service styles they specialize in and what staffing requirements each option entails, since that affects your total cost.
