Catering experiences??

Hello everyone!!

I am just looking into the possibility of getting my engagement party catered. I am just wanting to get a range of finger food platters because it is an afternoon party - for about 80 people I think.

I am not keen on organising and preparing all the food before the party - but will if I need to! At least looking into it now will give me good ideas of what I want to cook if it ends up being too expensive.

What are your experiences?
Was forking out the extra cash worth the fact that you didn't have to do it yourself?
And were you happy with the food that you got?
When you have been to events that have been catered, what was your favourite finger food?

Any suggestions on good, affordable companies would be great too - I am on Brisbane's southside ;)

Thanks so much!!
