MBP Distinctive Catering catered our first Indianapolis wedding reception of the summer at a new location on campus at Butler University.  Cocktails & Hors d’oeuvres were served on the patio, followed by dinner in the the Reilly Room.  The location was simply exquisite and the many windows of the Reilly Room afforded stunning views of the surrounding greenery and gardens.  We encourage soon to be wed couples to consider Butler University as a “one of a kind” location for Indianapolis wedding ceremonies & receptions.

By selecting your own style of service, MBP allows you to personalize your wedding package. Your package includes: linens and table skirting for the buffet tables and beverage tables.

Have you asked the question: How do I plan the perfect wedding reception or corporate event? Well, the following is a list of tips from Indianapolis Caterer – MBP Catering and expert advice from Mary Beth Poe.

1. For corporate events selecting the perfect caterer is very important. This decision can not always be based on price. You need to know the scope of services that they provide. You need take the time to meet with them and learn more about what they can do for you. The goal of the caterer is to relieve the stress from the client. Just because someone has a less expensive menu does not mean that they will do a great job for you.

2. Selecting the perfect caterer for your reception is difficult. First you have to select your venue and then find your caterer. If you prefer a more unique venue contact a caterer and they can assist you with this process. Caterers are very knowledgeable and can save you lots of time.

3. For weddings taking the time to put your plan together with the help of an event planner or a caterer will make your special day very enjoyable. On the day of your wedding you should be pampered from head to toe and should not be worried about any details if you have hired the correct vendors.

4. For corporate events have all of your details in place two weeks in advance. Leave all the details to the professionals. You have hired them and now it is time for them to perform. Trust them!

5. Building a rapport with your vendors is very important. You would not hire anyone that you did not like. Trust yourself and hire the vendor that you have a good rapport with. Of course we all have our favorite brides and corporate customers, and these customers have built a great trust for us and as a caterer we even work harder to ensure that it is a great event. Our goal is as a professional is to maintain that trust.
