Benefits of Hiring Allergen (Gluten Free) Catering Services

2/24/2020

 
Planning your wedding menu can be difficult because you may not know about a guest's food allergies until after they RSVPed for your reception. If someone you invited to share a meal with you has gluten sensitivities, how do you accommodate their needs without changing what you've asked your caterer to make for you?

The answer is quite simple. You first decide to work with someone who offers gluten free menu items. Next, you give your guests the option to self-identify as a person with food sensitivities. Allowing them to request a gluten free meal helps the caterer know how many special meals to make for guests.

What Makes a Catering Service With Gluten-Free Options Ideal

Not all catering services are willing to make adaptations to their menu items to accommodate guests with allergies. They offer a set menu and don't deviate from it. Those companies won't benefit you because they aren't willing to give you what you've requested. Finding a company that respects your wishes and the health of your guests with food sensitivities is therefore imperative.

Some of the benefits of hiring an allergen (gluten free) catering service are:
  • You'll have the ability to feed all of your guests conveniently and safely. The last thing you'll want to do on your wedding day is worry about someone having a medical emergency from eating something they're allergic to. Thankfully, working with a caterer who has experience preparing special dishes eliminates the problem. It allows you to serve each guest a wonderful meal without fear of feeding them something they absolutely cannot eat.​
  • You'll see professionals in action as they come up with alternative meal options that look fantastic and taste delicious. No one likes to be left out. The gluten-free menu option doesn't need to lack personality or flavor. It can be just as delicious as the traditional fare served at the reception. The only caveat is that it's made in smaller batches and provided as needed per your request. If there are only three guests who eat gluten-free, there is no reason to create waste by preparing and charging you for a dozen special dishes.
  • You get to establish a professional relationship with a business that you're willing to recommend to family and friends. When you hire a caterer who is allergen-friendly, and they do a remarkable job of serving all of your guests, you'll be sure to share your experience with everyone you know. The company benefits from word-of-mouth advertising and the people that you're closest to don't need to spend a great deal of time trying to find trusted catering experts serving Central Florida, such as Millenia Catering to meet their needs. Instead, they can go off your recommendation and know that everyone they invited to their reception has a chance to share a delightful meal with them.

Searching for a caterer who hears and honors your requests is the easiest way to have a stress-free reception. Everyone in attendance will have fantastic food to eat and leave your event feeling full and happy. No one's health will potentially be compromised because you hired a catering service that wasn't allergen-friendly.

What to Look for in a Caterer to Hire

Now that you know the benefits of hiring a caterer who serves guests who eat a gluten-free diet, you might want to know what qualities to look for in a company and its employees so you can further narrow your search. You may have the names of two or three caterers that fit that description to explore. Selecting one from the list is easiest if you have some requirements that they must fulfill outside of being allergen-friendly.

The best caterers possess the following traits:
  • They hold themselves to a high level of professionalism. From start to finish, they do everything they can to exceed your expectations.
  • They're fantastic listeners.  They respect you and your decisions by making you feel seen and heard.
  • They go above and beyond to protect your guests with food allergies. All food gets handled according to safety guidelines.
  • They do their job with a smile. They're pleasant and personable.
  • They thank you for your business and invite you to work with them again. When all is said and done, you feel like a valued customer.

If you're fortunate to hire a caterer whose reviews reflect this list of must-have traits, you're sure to have a great experience. The company will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy all the feelings that come with being newly married.
