Location 

• Is the venue appealing to the eye?

• Distance for guest to travel

• Cleanliness  of the kitchen area?

•  Space and refrigeration if you are considering an outside caterer.

Service

• Are you comfortable with the type of service you are receiving from the staff and your point of contact?
