WEDDINGS

### [Your wedding menu, step by step](https://deltacatering.at/en/inspiration/planning-your-wedding-menu/)

Start with how you want your celebration to feel. A summer garden party needs a different culinary rhythm from an elegant dinner in a ballroom.

### Something good starts with an idea.

#### [Planning finger food](https://deltacatering.at/en/inspiration/planning-finger-food/)

The right quantity is not determined by guest count alone. The key question is whether you are accompanying a short aperitif or serving several rounds in place of dinner.

#### [Buffet, plated menu or flying dinner?](https://deltacatering.at/en/inspiration/buffet-or-plated-menu/)

The service format shapes an evening as much as the menu. Choose it around how you want your guests to spend time together, and what your venue can accommodate.

### Your questions.
Clear answers.

The essentials for planning your catering.

[All questions & answers ](https://deltacatering.at/en/faq/)

**Can I choose my own catering menu?**

Delta Catering’s menu ideas can be the starting point for an individual selection. Begin with the format, flavours and dietary requirements you want. Seasonality, ingredients, portion sizes and feasibility are then agreed; the images and dishes are not fixed bookable packages.

**Should I choose a buffet, finger food or a plated menu?**

Choose according to the event: finger food suits standing conversations, a buffet offers choice, and a plated menu gives seated guests a shared rhythm. Seating, floor space and meal duration matter. A short reception and a full evening meal require different quantities.

**What information does a caterer need for a quote?**

Provide the date, exact address, guest count, occasion, serving time, preferred format and budget. Add drinks, service requirements and dietary needs. Kitchen facilities, lifts, delivery access and existing equipment help establish the actual work involved.
