Start looking for your caterer, if possible, at least six months prior to your wedding. If you've experienced any extra good caterers recently, find out who they are and contact them. See at least three or four for comparison.
The food should be both artfully presented and delicious in taste. The degree to which they are in both areas will probably reflect in the price.
Other areas to consider are the type of plates and silverware to be used. Will they conflict with the motif of your reception? Will you be charged for them? How does the staff present itself? It should be professional and courteous. Ask if there are any hidden charges.
Bear in mind that a quality caterer will be able to assist and guide you in your menu as to what foods and tastes compliment one another.
DRINKS
The traditional wedding reception drink is champagne. Often times the champagne is not served until it is time for the toast. Red and white wines are often served at each table before the champagne is brought out. A bar can be provided by the host and in some cases, a cash (no host) bar is provided by the house. Be careful of a hosted bar (you pay for the tab), it can really run up!
Soft drinks should always be provided for children and abstainers.
