PM Custom Catering is dedicated to making your wedding day special. These answers to some common questions a bride may have for a potential caterer may help you make the decision to allow us to provide your Bakersfield wedding catering services.

What do you charge?

We like to customize each wedding according to the needs and desires of the bride and groom. Prices are affected by many factors including the menu selection, the type of service -- whether buffet or full service, the the number of guests at the wedding and seasonal cost factors.

Are you willing to work within my budget?

We are always willing to meet with potential brides and grooms and discuss their ideas and to make suggestions for menu selections and services that may fit into their budget.

Are you available on my wedding date?

This is the number one question asked by brides. We book months and up to one year in advance. Please inquire as soon as possible as to our availability for your wedding date.

Can you supply examples of suggested menus along with prices?

We like to customize each event for our brides. We will make suggestions on menu options and we have a wonderful photo album of previous events that we have done. If you have a special menu request we will search to find just the right recipe or you can bring us your favorite family recipe and we will prepare it for you.

For more information about our menu options, please see the Wedding Menu page.

Do you allow other outside food to be brought in?

We insist on doing all the food preparation for health and safety reasons. Our staff is trained and certified in food safety procedures. We are inspected by the health department who certifies that we are in compliance with food safety regulations. We want to insure that your guests will not become ill due to unsafe food handling procedures.

Will you cut the cake and serve the toast?

We will cut and serve your cake and pour your toast to your guests at no addional charge. If you have not rented your plates and forks from your rental agency, we can provide disposable plates, forks, and cocktail napkins for a nominal per person fee. For more information, please see the Non-Food Services portion of this website.

What are the deposit and cancellation policies?

A $100 deposit is required to hold your date for your event. This will be applied toward your final bill.

In the case that you have to cancel your event, 75% of the deposit will be returned with at least a 90 day notice, 50% with a 60 day notice and 10% with a 30 day notice. Events cancelled after this time will result in a full forfeit of your deposit.
