Watch Out for Restrictive Event Venues

December 4th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in NY Catering - (0 Comments)

Before you book a hall or venue for your wedding, or other special occasion, make sure that you get to call the shots. The expense of renting a space can cost quite a bit of money, but somehow people responsible for spaces can be stifling in their rules about what can and cannot go on in their space. They might give you a strict cutoff on the bar, collecting and keeping your booze at your event’s end. They might limit the options of DJs you can hire and restrict the music you are allowed to play. They might even limit which New York caterer you can hire.

If you are booking a special event, you want to avoid these restrictions when possible. It is up to you to define what you want the event to be. Do you really want to feel locked in and limited? In many cases, owners of halls and other venues have made deals with New York caterers and entertainment companies that force business in their direction for cheaper rates and kickbacks. Rarely are those savings passed along to the customer who is already spending large sums of cash.

Be sure to read the fine print when booking the space for your event. No regrets.

Grandma’s Birthday and New York Catering

August 28th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in NY Catering - (0 Comments)

A New York caterer truly made the difference in my family’s life one year. When my grandmother turned 80, my family wanted to make it a real celebration, the kind of party that would honor the rich and happy life she had made. Her six sisters would no doubt need to be there, not to mention her daughters and grandchildren, her nieces and nephews and their children as well. Throw in friends from the neighborhood and church, and suddenly you have upwards of 100 people that need to be entertained and fed.

Food has always been important both to my grandmother and our family in general, so there’s no way to skimp in that regard. Yet, if we had done the food preparation and serving ourselves, even if it were buffet style, there would have been so little time to enjoy the day with our grandmother. And obviously, at 80 years old, time begins to take on new meaning, every second and day a precious item to be considered and taken seriously. It’s a common problem in the city and elsewhere, the responsibility of preparing the party leveraged against a desire and right to be a part of what is celebrated.

Luckily New York catering is top notch. The best food and finest service is at our fingertips, an email or phone call away. For my grandmother’s birthday, hiring a NY caterer allowed us to relax, eat well, and enjoy an important moment in the life of a woman that means so much to us.

New York Catering for New York Lit

July 25th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in NY Catering - (0 Comments)

I never thought I’d say it, but I saw Brooklyn catering save the day once.  Here’s how it happened:

When my friend put together a fundraiser for her literary journal she had a lot to do, as is expected, but she’s a very ambitious person and frankly, she bit off a little more than she could chew. With just a week left in her Kickstarter campaign she’d promised to feed and entertain a large gathering of donors, both confirmed and potential. Between the technical specs, the management of people to read material, the printing of a sample issue, and the arrangement of a venue (on top of which she had a full time and very demanding teaching job, to which she gave nothing less than 150% 7 days a week), there was little time left over to get a 50+ person meal together.

A NY caterer is a lot more affordable than you might think and certainly worth what it saves in time and groceries. She managed to pull off an amazing fund raising event that honored the readers, showed off the design elements of her journal, entertained her paying contributors, and recruited new backers — all because she used a New York caterer, allowing her to focus on literature and her journal rather than pasta and sauces.

Brooklyn Catering at the Prospect Park Picnic House

July 19th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in NY Catering - (0 Comments)

For over a century, the Prospect Park Picnic House has been a sought after spot for park visitors. With its spacious halls, access to the Long Meadow, and view on to a grove of gorgeous hillside trees, the Picnic House is a fantastic location for Brooklyn catering.  Recent renovations have added even more amenities, too. The terra-cotta tile roof is impressive from near and far, and the 4000 square foot glass and brick pavilion is a stunning piece of New York architecture. The natural ambiance drawn from the knoll atop which it rests makes the Picnic House a wonderful place for weddings, parties and fundraisers. A great NY caterer knows how to take advantage of such luxurious and exultant surroundings.

That’s why Bon Soir Caterers consider it one of their preferred venues, having worked with the Picnic House many times in the past. This existing and positive relationship between the classic spot and amazing New York catering ensures that your event will be professionally and efficiently handled, with every detail accounted for.  With capacity for 175 dinner and dancing guests, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the immaculately prepared food and service of a trusted NY Caterer, celebrating effortlessly.

And don’t forget: before you arrive or on your way home, take a stroll through one of the most beautiful parks in all of New York City.

Sandwich Buffets For the Laid Back Catered Event

April 9th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in NY Catering - (0 Comments)

When you have a more laid back event going on, you might forgo the thought of a NY caterer at first. After all, you don’t need a big fancy layout, right? But the beauty of a great catering company is that they have the kind of food that works for any event, not just big weddings. And it is a considerably cheaper option over all, but still frees you up from having to worry about the food yourself and getting it all prepared. This way you know it’ll be fresh and delicious.

A sandwich buffet is a great choice for a less serious, more fun event. It’s easy for people because they can pick and choose what they want, it’s the kind of option that will appeal to both adults and kids, and there’s a lot of variety with such a spread. You can have tea  sandwiches, pita platters and croissant trays. It gives everyone a lot of options and makes things easier. Also, sandwiches are far less of a mess, so that’s a plus in itself.

So don’t totally shun a NY caterer for a smaller shindig. A sandwich buffet may be perfect for your event and keep that great, laid back theme going.

A NY Caterer For Your Birthday Surprise

March 26th, 2012 | Posted by christinem in NY Catering - (0 Comments)

There are times when family members hit some seriously major milestones in their life. My grandmother, for instance, is about to reach her 80th birthday. She’s still carrying on as always, but we’d like to throw her a major party for her the milestone. And it’s nice to really go all out for occasions such as this, with a full caterer and all.

A NY caterer can really make these moments special. You get more time yourself to focus on being with friends and family and truly making this a special day for whomever it is for. And the company will make sure you get a great menu of food for everyone to enjoy, even your vegetarian aunt and lactose intolerant cousin. And if it’s a birthday, you can make a request for a special cake to be made for them to be served as dessert. Everything can be taken care of through a NY caterer and you can focus on the party.

Consider really going all out for the next big birthday or anniversary in your family. A nice venue, full catering service and some great music can all add up to make a really special event that the entire family will talk about for years.
