Caterer/Event Planner

Caterers and Event Planners put the "special" into a special occasion. Whether planning a special event for 10 guests or 600, these professionals work closely with clients to custom design an event, whether it is a wedding, business reception, gallery opening, or intimate dinner party. Along with menu planning, food preparation, and service, caterers and event planners may be responsible for the entertainment, decorations, staffing, invitations, equipment rental, sales, and billing. Successful caterers and event planners are artistic, creative, have superior planning and organizing skills, work well under pressure, and know how to run a business.
