Totally agree with BG!

Look around for different caterers. I was horrified to see I had to hire plates, forks etc AS WELL as the catering.
Then I found one that did it all, they provided great references and the food was so good they got heaps more work out of it. They also provided bar/wait staff. The price was far, far cheaper than some. Be careful of REALLY cheap though.

With a ****tail reception you gotta be careful. There never, ever, ever seems to be enough food for everyone for a start .
You will have to think about the time you get married because you cant have people waiting too long in between the ceremony and the reception. You also cant have them starve.
