The key to a good reception is not just the type of food you're serving but the quality. In most cases, the quality is more important than the choice of food.
If you book your wedding through a wedding reception venue, you will need to decide on what type of menu you want to have at your reception.
If you need to hire caterers for your reception, then you need to start looking for a good catering company as soon as you book the venue you are using for your reception, whether it be in a hall, backyard or park etc.
Try to make your bookings at least 4-6 months before the wedding and then finalize the details about 2-3 months before the wedding. It's also important that you set aside a time to sample the menu choices before you make a booking to ensure the food is good quality and exactly what you expect.
