Holiday Catering In Kennesaw, GA Area

By Chef Jeff Grundy

If money is as tight for you as it is for us in Cartersville, it shouldn't have to mean no holiday party for your employees. When you weigh the benefits of having everyone get together in a positive atmosphere of a holiday party, it just makes sense.

Where will you have your party?

With times being as they are you can find deals everywhere. By picking a fun and unique venue for the party, you will be creating positive buzz long before the event date. A quick and easy way to do this, is to survey your employees. You can also Google Corporate Holiday Catering Venues.

Be sure to keep the driving distance short for the majority of the party goers. It is safer and will keep the attendance higher. A place that is easy to find is also helpful.

Pick a Party Theme

By having a theme, several other steps become much easier. Again with a theme you are creating a buzz before the actual event. Even if some hard core employees think it is stupid you are still getting them involved in anticipating the event. But lets focus on the excited employees.

Once you have a theme, organizing the party is much easier. It gives everyone a direction to work towards. You can find online cheap decoration for almost anything these days. Games and contests will also be simpler to come up with when designed around a theme. Even producing fliers about the event is easier.

Choose Your Caterer

Often the food will make or break the party. It is a way for all the party goers to have something in common to talk about. Bland food may not hurt the party but it will not excite people the way different and tasty food can. Look for a holiday caterer who has experience with these events and can offer some references. Going with Julie's uncle may not be the best bet for something so important.

Menu Please

Involving your employees one more time is a great idea for the menu. Between yourself and the caterer pick a list of maybe twenty items then let everyone choose the top ten. Remember foods from say a small town like Cartesville may not go as well as food like in a bigger town like Kennesaw.

As explained with food tastes be careful of comparing pricing from different towns. Do not expect to pay the same price for a party in Cartersville as you would for the same event in Kennesaw.

Work with your holiday caterer to find items that are inexpensive yet filling. Depending on the time of day certain foods are better. If the party is going to be at dinner time or just after you can expect the guests to eat more than if the party is just after work or later in the evening.

Be reasonable in your requests with your holiday caterer, don't expect to get steak at chicken prices. Yet a stir fry or mini french dip sandwiches may fit the bill. Also be careful not to have to many exotic dishes matching your theme, many people will not eat foods they have never had before.

Follow these easy steps and you will have many happy employees while delivering your corporate holiday catering on a budget in Rome or wherever you live!
