Chicago, IL Caterers at Your Service

Ask the Celebration Advisor: I live in Chicago, Illinois and I want to throw a formal party outdoors. There will be a large attendance and I was wondering how to go about providing food and furnishing the event. Any suggestions?

The Celebration Advisor: An outdoor party is great to have, especially when there is food involved. As everyone knows, food tastes better outdoors. But to answer your question, a local Chicago, IL caterer could easily help you with those daunting tasks.

Some people unfortunately think that all caterers do is cook food for large amounts of people, which they do magnificently. However another role of a caterer is to provide a wait staff, bartender and chefs as well as various other choices for rentals from companies affiliated with the catering service.

Chicago caterers are able to cover every detail down to the glasses, plates and cutlery and color of the table cloths, to the disposable heating ware and serving utensils. Since your party will be outside, renting a tent or two would provide your guests with ample shade. Also available is the option to rent cooling equipment just in case your party is on one of those blistering summer days by the Great Lakes.

Above all else, the food at your party is key. Once you have chosen a caterer, discuss the many varieties of food to be served. Being outdoors, your event may benefit from food prepared on a grill. But don't worry, since parks typically do not have kitchens or the nicest of food preparation stations, caterers have the ability to cook on a portable kitchen. As an added benefit, guests would marvel at chefs creating intricate and tasty dishes for them to enjoy.

I like your idea of an outdoor party and hiring a caterer to help you with it would give your guests an event to remember and give you the satisfaction of hosting the party they just cant stop talking about.

What Horse Drawn Carriage Options Are There In Denver?

Ask The Celebration Advisor: I'm from Denver, Colorado and am a real city girl. My mom read your blog about renting horse drawn carriages for weddings. I was wondering what Denver has to offer because I'm considering it for when I tie the knot in a couple months. Thanks! ~ Desiree

The Celebration Advisor: Desiree, awesome question! There are actually several different types of coaches for horse drawn carriage rides. Did you know that at one point there were over 300 varieties of horse drawn carriage? I know, right!? Eventually the type used became a status symbol more than a functional choice in the same way some would choose a luxury car over a Yugo.

Most people don't know about the different types of horse carriages, so here are examples. If you are interested in horse drawn carriage rides, these are popular options you should be able to find in the Denver, CO metro area as well as other major cities if you choose to travel.

Types of Horse Drawn Carriages To Rent In Denver

* Vis-a-Vis Horse Carriages are carriages that have seating on either side of the cab. Guests may sit beside or opposite one another. Vis-a-vis horse drawn carriages are given this name because "vis-a-vis" is French for "face-to-face". This is kind of neat because the word "carriage" is also derived from a French word meaning "to carry in a vehicle".

* Cinderella Horse Carriages have round cabs and are suspended in a way that make them appear to be almost floating between the wheels. This is not strange considering that Cinderella's carriage was supposed to resemble the form of a pumpkin. If you really want to feel like a princess at your Denver wedding, rent a Cinderella horse drawn carriage. They are very elegant and luxurious.

* Barouche Horse Carriages look almost like a primitive car. The body style is very similar to the first cars that came later. These are not quite as elegant in style as a Cinderella horse drawn carriage but they are very comfortable and a smart choice for a new twist on an old style.

While there are many types of horse drawn carriages, you are most likely to find these styles when you rent horse drawn carriages in Denver. These styles have been given many unique modifications but are the most popularly used horse carriages today.
