I know this sounds much, but my fiancee and I are having two caterers.
One caterer to provide the appetizers and another one to provide my culture's cuisine.
My issue is that my parent's caterer that they chose for me, is charging too much for too little they bring, and my fiancee and I just can't support that. Basically wanting to charge us over $3000+ just to give us food, but they won't even be providing chafing dishes, nor will they be providing any servers to help serve the food. They won't even supply plates, or silverware!
Therefore, we made the decision to look for another caterer to serve the main dish. My issue is that I can't find any caterers that serve my culture's cuisine, and I've been looking at restaurants and food trucks as well. Basically all the restaurant's I called, have decided to completely stop their catering services due to COVID, and the one food truck I found that serve's my culture's cuisine is ignoring all my phone calls, emails, and text messages, and I'm running out of time because my wedding is literally in four months.
My fiancee said that we could just have our caterer that's in charge of appetizers do the main course, but I don't want that because of how much I find their entrees to be bland and basic. Not to bash on wedding caterers or anything, but I'll be honest, a lot of the food can be pretty bland and be "basic wedding" food if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I really want some good food that isn't just basic, so I was thinking of hiring a food truck, even if it isn't my culture's, just to have something that isn't too "wedding-ey" if you know what I mean.
So I got into contact with a food truck that serves some sandwiches that are to die for, and they're dish includes, a huge sandwich, a side of tater tots, and soda or water as the drink. But IDK if I want them to provide drinks, because my other caterer is already providing lemonade and water. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but is it okay to just have a lot of drinks be made available?
