Do we have to utilize your caterers?
Yes. Initially we allowed our couples to bring in any licensed catering company, because honestly most venues don't and we didn't understand why! It seems like a great benefit to allow outside catering. The truth is, after two years of allowing any caterer under the sun to serve in our space, we quickly realized that it is not a workable business model if quality food and a quality experience is important to our couples and their guests.
Although we had many great experiences with caterers who were new to us, when it was a bad experience it was really bad, for us, the couple, and their guests.
We selected the caterers on our list after having many come through our doors those first few years because we thought they had good food, good service, because they had affordable options along with a variety of upgrades, and honestly because we thought they were nice people. Don't discount the fact that all of the vendors that you choose - you'll work with a lot leading up to the big day. It's important to actually like your vendors.
Additionally, we have purposely selected small business owners, because although no one is perfect, and none of our caterers claim to be, when you work with a small business owner they are personally invested in the success of your wedding day.
Would we consider an catering option that is not on our exclusive catering list?
We would be open to your idea but the catering company would need to meet our specific catering guidelines and provide the staff to handle everything on our list needed to ensure a successful event.
Is china, flatware and glassware included in our rental?
The Lincoln Loft & Studio does include simple white china, flatware and glassware. It would be up to your preferred caterer if they chose to bring in there own china, upscale disposables or utilize our options on-site. Please note, if you and your caterer choose to use the china, glassware and flatware - there may be an additional fee on their end for the upgraded service.
