Three top wedding caterers, The Oakland House, Prime Time Caterers, and The Ryan Nicholas Inn will be overviewed in this article. Two of them are in Spartanburg, SC and one is in Simpsonville or Greenville County of South Carolina. These recommendations come from the local community as well as personal experience in regard to the Ryan Nicholas Inn. I was in a wedding at the Ryan Nicholas Inn last fall and highly recommend it as a top caterer in the Greenville, SC area.

Choosing a caterer for your wedding can seem like a daunting task, and it's true the caterer can wind up being your worst enemy or your best friend depending on how the event goes. It's important to get recommendations from friends who have had successful and satisfying experiences with a catering company. Also, anytime you attend a wedding and are impressed with the catering make a point to get their name and number. Then you will have an initial contact when you are ready to plan your wedding.

Tips for choosing a reputable wedding caterer:

When contacting caterers ask if there is an upcoming event you can visit to see firsthand the kind of work they do.

Ask for a list of references and call some of them to get their opinion of the business.

Give your prospective caterers you head count and budget and ask them to provide you a sample menu

for your budget.

Ask questions! This is your money you are spending. Don't be intimidated to ask as many questions as necessary until you are comfortable that you can maket a fully informed decision.

Once you choose a caterer, get all agreed upon details put into a written contract.
