Matrimonial feast service
Wedding catering is the business of providing food and drink service for wedding receptions and related celebrations.
The term covers everything from menu planning and preparation to table service and cleanup.
Couples typically hire caterers months in advance: We're meeting with three wedding catering companies this weekend.
The service may be handled by dedicated wedding caterers, hotel banquet departments, or restaurants that offer off-site catering.
