caterer checked!

Among the thing that you have to consider early, is the caterer. The caterer creates history. be it bad or good. Hopefully its a good one. Kalau event gempak tapi food sucks people will talk about it. Same goes vice versa.

I hired Manisa Catering for my engagement day. It was a small do with 120pax catered. I remember close to 120 good reviews about the food. Its very satisfying to see the guests enjoy the food at your event. "Food sedap giler" is among good reviews i received from the guest..

So why not hire the same caterer this time?

I went to see the owner for the first time. We only spoke on the phone previously as it was only small event back then, but this time mom and i went to see the owner in person and hopefully i will be able to ask for a good quotation. She's an experience lady and easy to deal with. She entertained every big deal questions i ask. The price she's offering is not bad at all.. not cheap but not that expensive. It still falls within mom's budget if we exclude the pelamin. Another dilemma, nak amik pelamin terus dgn dia or nak carik different decorator for pelamin? If i take different pelamin designer wouldn't it be expensive too? Nevermind, i still have time to include/exclude the items.. Yang penting place booking dulu sbb Syawal is gonna be one busy month for caterers!!

Why i should hire Manisa Catering :

1) Their quality of the food is their reputation. Trust me, Sedap!
2) According to the owner they use "Spencer Royal" dishware.. instead of pinggan melamine (that means she puts every small details into account)
3) They use fresh flowers for arches and pelamins (if i take one)
4) Diorang buat kerja ikhlas and bukan nak pikir untung aje.. They will advice you to take adequate amount of pax and not to waste the food by over catering number of pax.
5) They standby food JUST IN CASE food tak cukup and they will acknowledge the client with the additional charges later..
6) They are based in subang so its a brownie point for me!
7) They have been in this field for years and dia tak pressure i untuk hire them.

I couldn't find any reason not to settle with this caterer unless ada org nak sponsor me with anything better than this. But i guess the word better comes with a bigger price.. so i placed the deposit today.

Caterer checked!

oh by the way, if anyone know any pelamin designer yang affordable but creative pls lemme know. Don't recommend arma because i just heart them but couldn't afford it. I remember asking them and the pelamin i love starts from 4k!
