3 Catering Equipment Rental Tips in Milwaukee and Wisconsin

Catering services can be expensive and consume a large chunk of your budget when planning an event. Wedding catering, for example, costs, on average, $4,000 — money that you probably just don't have. You can still provide your guests with food and drink, however, by hiring catering equipment and doing everything yourself (or asking some friends to volunteer!). Here are three tips when hiring catering equipment in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

#1. Plan Ahead

Book catering equipment several weeks or months before your big event. You don't want to be caught short! The earlier you book, the more time you have to delegate catering duties to friends and family who want to help you on the big day.

Willie Fun Events is a full-service company that lets you hire catering equipment in Milwaukee and Wisconsin from the comfort of your own home. You'll find a wide range of equipment, including beverage makers, insulated pan holders, and ice coolers in one place, so you can plan your event ahead of time.

#2. Come Up With a Menu

Once you have decided to serve food and drinks at your event, you need to create a menu that will delight your guests.

Your menu will depend on the type of event you plan to hold. If you are organizing a corporate function, for example, you may wish to serve coffee and snacks. If you are planning a children's birthday party, on the other hand, cotton candy and popcorn machines will go down a treat.

Don't forget to tell your guests that you plan to serve food and drink. (You can include this information on your event invitations!) This will encourage more people to attend.

#3. Ask Guests to Contribute

Once you factor in the cost of catering equipment rental into your budget, you will need to pay for food and drink. You can cut these costs by asking your guests to contribute ahead of time.

Alternatively, ask your guests to bring food with them, and you can use your catering equipment to heat these items and share them with everyone else.
