Catering Suggestions

in Ohio-Cincinnati
So - we've narrowed our guest list to about 70-75 people and our location to being Fernbank Lodge - through Hamilton County Parks. Now - what type of catering company comes to mind.

I'm OKAY with having a buffet set-up, especially since this is a park wedding - but I'm hoping to have someone from the catering company stay to man the buffet table.

I have no idea what to expect from the company or what type of questions to ask - so does anyone have any suggestions?

    Questions to ask: 
    Any hidden fees with pricing?
    How many servers?
    Will you provide plates, napkins, silverware, and glasses?
    Are you bringing the table linens for the buffet table or should I provide them?
    Delivery charge?

    Suggestions:
    Vonderhaars is great!
    Larosas (We are using them, friends of the family so we got a discount plus we are supporting a Cincinnati company)

    Just a few :)

    We are using Vondehaars. The owner is great and they work with whatever we need. My FI is even brining his own champagne in which isn't usually allowed. They are great.

    I didn't use them, but I was at a wedding recently that used Funky's and the food was delicious!

    We used Brown Dog Cafe through my venue, so my venue staff acually manned the buffet, but the food was delicious and the price was great.

    Vonderhaars has looked great on the web - nice to see some positive opinions of them.

    I like Funky's catering - my only problem with them is - I work at a physician's office and drug reps bring their food ALL the time..and I'm kind of tired of it.
