Booking caterers without tasting first?

Hi! We’ve booked ours with no tasting, no deposits. No nothing! We went with their reviews and how good their socials looked. If it’s a food truck could you maybe follow it if it is somewhere at an open event? Ours does football grounds and little events so when we are in the area we are going to go taste them but we genuinely aren’t worried either!

I think it is quite normal, we booked our caterers before a tasting too but was venue recommended and looked good on Insta. I think a lot of companies only seem to offer tastings to booked couples so must be quite common! We booked our wedding with one year to go too so were keen to get all the suppliers booked early on in the planning

I think you’ll be grand - if it’s a recommended supplier they’ve obviously been impressive in the past.
As long as you like the food they have as options!

Maybe get in contact with somebody whose used them before maybe from reviews or those who may have got married at your venue before just for a little bit of reassurance?

From what I've seen on here, that's pretty normal. The tasting seems to be more for picking your menu rather than picking a caterer. If they do tastings before booking, there will probably be a charge for it--it's a lot of work!
