The Professional Caterers Tips on Planning a Great Party…
Thursday, June 24th, 2010There are loads of details when planning a party, in this blog we will give tips on the catering side of the party. If you know these details before the event you can stay one step ahead and avoid lots of headaches and heartaches!
TIPS:
1) Know your budget: this includes food, service, and beverages. Knowing your entire party budget doesn’t really help us, you need to break down your overall budget and present the caterer with the “food” budget.
2) Consider what type of food service you would like at your party, some different options that Dupree offers are:
- Buffet Dinner
This is the cheese and fruit display on part of a buffet.
- Seated Dinner
Dupree Server setting a table for an elegant seated dinner service.
- Stations
- At this party Dupree served stations and each station was in a barn stall, this one happened to be in Man O’War’s stall.
- Passed Appetizers
- Dupree waiter passing appetizers.
- Small Plates
2) Consider a “Theme” - A good theme can give you idea’s for food, dress, music, decorations, and set a special mood. Below is a picture of one of our favorite themed parties:
This party was a 21st birthday party and was a "Beatles" (the music group) theme. Each bar and food station was set-up as a different beatle song, this one was Yellow Sub-Marine.
There are endless amounts of themes, be creative and make yours personal. Below are just a few ideas:
- Seasonal, summer or cookout theme, fall, winter, spring
- Green theme, you could use everything that’s “Green” recycled glass/aluminum products, composting, donating leftovers etc.
- Grow your own food or use everything local
3) Consider doing popular appetizers or something special and unique. Having an appetizer ready for your guests shows them you care. You could incorporate the apps into your theme or if the rest of your food is slightly traditional consider going with an app that’s a little more fun and interesting.
This is individual servings of shrimp cocktail or "shrimp shooters."
Welcome to Dupree Catering.Com
Thursday, June 25th, 2009We are proud to announce the launch of our new website today! All of the photos you see on the site were taken at events we’ve catered. And all of the gorgeous food we’ve captured on screen was prepared by us. It tastes just as good as it looks, too.
Our hope is that this site will not only convey the quality of work that we do but also the breadth of our services. We’ve been well known for full service catering for over 22 years. Along the way we’ve added services that our customers have requested like Event Coordination and Drop Off Catering. Our newest venture is Dupree-to-Go which we started this spring. With Dupree to Go, you can order everyday meals or food for smaller parties. The Dupree-to-Go menu will change every couple of weeks in order to take advantage of the freshest, local produce and meats.
We’re incorporating more and more local products into the foods that we prepare in all areas of our cooking. Every month our website will highlight specific local farmers and food producers, like Bleugrass Chevre, so that you can see where your food is grown. We’ll also make their products available for you to purchase through our secure, online ordering page.
For more information about any of our services, you can contact us directly at (859) 231-0464 or view the Our Team page for email addresses and direct phone lines for our staff. We look forward to hearing from you!
Best Regards,
Harriet Dupree Bradley
