Event Planning & Party Planner

Top Dog Catering has the opinion that there are a variety of things that make an event “perfect”.  Obviously we believe that quality food products, memorable presentations and superior service are of the utmost importance, but we also know that attention to detail and organization weigh heavily on the successful completion of an event.

With this in mind, we would encourage you to consider the following, prior to contacting us to request a proposal:

• First and most importantly – Determine your budget!
• Establish a guest list to help you estimate your attendance
• Pick a location
• Set a date & time for your event

Next you will want to determine the “flow” of your event and establish the overall type of catering service that will best suit your individual expectations.  Ask yourself these type of questions;

• Is your event social or professional in nature?
• What style of seating is required?
• What type of foods will best express your “theme” or budget requirements?

Get a sense of the life style of your guests. Do you have a younger “hip” crowd or an older, established group? Are there a number of vegetarians or other dietary needs that need to be included?

• Do you want a plated, course menu or buffet service?
• Do you want alcohol service and if so, what type?
• Are you planning on hosting the bar or having your guests pay for their own drinks?
• Do you desire full service, wait staff or just a delivery or basic set up?
• Do you need assistance with rentals, linens, specialty china, florals, entertainment, site locations and transportation?

Once you have formulated the above information, please contact us to make your Dream Event a Reality!
