Serving Bridgeport, CT, wedding and special event catering services by Cater Waiter provides food and beverage offerings tailored to the specific needs of large-scale celebrations, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events, or holiday parties. We handle everything from menu planning to food preparation, serving, and often the complete management of dining experiences. Here’s what they typically include:
Menu Customization
Cater Waiter works closely with the client to create a menu that suits the theme, preferences, and dietary requirements of the event. Wedding and event menus may range from buffet-style to plated multi-course meals, and can feature various types of cuisine, including:
- Traditional or modern dishes
- Cultural or regional specialties
- Dietary accommodations like gluten-free, vegan, or allergy-sensitive options
2. Appetizers & Hors d’Oeuvres
For weddings and other events in Bridgeport, we provide a selection of appetizers or hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hours or pre-dinner receptions. These are usually small, bite-sized items served on trays or at stations, allowing guests to mingle while enjoying light food.
3. Full-Service Catering
This includes the preparation, setup, service, and cleanup of food. Our catering staff (servers, bartenders, chefs) ensure that everything runs smoothly during the event. For formal events, full-service may also involve plated service at tables, ensuring a more refined dining experience.
4. Buffet & Self-Service Options
We offer buffet-style dining, where guests serve themselves from a selection of dishes. This is often more cost-effective for larger events and provides a wider range of food choices.
5. Beverage Services
We include bar service, with professional bartenders serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. This may be an open bar, where guests have unlimited drinks, or a cash bar where guests purchase their own beverages.
6. Wedding Cakes & Desserts
We often partner with or include dessert specialists to provide custom wedding cakes, dessert tables, or special confections. These options can be personalized to match the couple’s preferences or the event theme.
7. Event Rentals & Decor
We provide or coordinate additional services like tableware, glassware, linens, chairs, tables, and even venue decor. These rentals may include themed decor elements like centerpieces, lighting, or floral arrangements that align with the event’s aesthetic.
8. Tastings
Before the event, Cater Waiter offers a tasting session where the client can sample dishes from the proposed menu. This helps to finalize the selections and ensure the quality of the food matches the client’s expectations.
9. Wedding Event Planning in Bridgeport, CT
For larger weddings and special events, we offer event planning services to ensure smooth timing and execution of the food and beverage services, aligning with the overall flow of the event.

- Signature cocktails for the bride and groom
- Unique food stations (e.g., a sushi bar, barbecue station, or crepe station)
