Ask the Celebration Advisor: I am trying to organize a wedding reception for my sister who lives in Hagerstown, MD. The location where she would like to have it is a bit small and I am afraid there isn’t enough seating for everyone. Will this be an issue for caterers at the event? – Briana
The Celebration Advisor: Absolutely not. The main responsibility of caterers aside from providing food is to meet the needs of the host. Hagerstown caterers are no different and they will strive to see that your sister’s wedding reception is comfortable for everyone in attendance.
Given how small you say the reception location is, I believe the best choice for the event would be to have a wait staff prepare a “Passed-Tray Reception” for your sister. During a passed-tray reception, wait staff weave between party guests while holding hor d’oeuvres and drinks on a small tray. This would allow for guests to mingle in the open room and simply acknowledge a waiter when needed. Plus, smaller portions of food do not require tables and this will help to clear out a bit of much needed floor space.
Your Hagerstown caterer also has many other options to consider. Namely selecting the menu for the event and the option for tent rentals. Caterers are affiliated with companies that can further distinguish your event. And by renting a tent from one of those companies, guests can be provided with much more room to walk about freely rather than feel claustrophobic in a cramped reception hall. Selecting a menu for the event wont be hard considering most catering services will allow you to try samples of their masterfully prepared foods.
There is little dissapointment to be felt with the quality service Hagerstown caterers provide. Between the delicious foods and the wait staff’s cordial demeanor, guests will feel more than pampered as they celebrate your sister’s wedding. Her reception is sure to be a blast when caterers are invited to celebrate the event.
