So I finally am finding some places that allow me to bring my own food. I have an uncle who owns several restaurants in the Columbus area who has offered to cook me all my food, I just need to transport it up to the venue. Does anyone have an experience with having a catering company cater an event where the food is already provided, and does it cost any less when you don't need them providing the food? I really just need a handful of people to make sure the buffet and cookie table stays stocked I won't be having a sit down dinner. I am looking at stark county for my reception, either canton or Louisville at the moment.
I have been to weddings before where the family and close friends took care of all the food and stocking etc. (and I know my family would do the same), but I have also seen how these people can often become stressed out and not enjoy the reception 100% because they are worrying about stocking, filling etc. I want all my guests to have a carefree and good time, so I really don't want to have them "cater" the reception.
I apologize if this question is on the wrong board, it involves the reception so I thought this would be the best place for it. Thanks!
