Get a Wedding Cake or an IPod at Brothers Caterers
If you’re getting married, one of the most fun parts of planning your wedding will be choosing your wedding cake. If you need help contact us at www.brotherscaterers.com to help you make the best choice. There is more to this than just going to a baker and looking through a selection of different types and styles of cakes however. When you are buying or ordering your wedding cake, there are different things that you had to consider. Something that happened to my sister-in-law taught me this very lesson. I didn’t have any problems with my cake, but she had a huge one with hers.
There are many different types of wedding cake for which to choose. This means that you not only have to think about what flavor of cake you want, you also have to think about the decorations and other things. Today many wedding cakes can come with different fillings, and different things hidden underneath the icing. This might make choosing your wedding cake more fun, but also makes it a little more risky. If you don’t know what you are getting into, and your baker doesn’t warn you, you may end up with a big mess on your hands and a lot of disappointment.
The wedding cake that my sister-in-law chose had a chocolate shell underneath the icing. Her baker did not tell her to keep the cake out of the refrigerator. Once she had the wedding cake in her hands she should have left it out at room temperature. However, she did not know this, and she put her cake in a refrigerator overnight. When the cake was left sitting out at the reception, condensation formed as the cake warmed up, and the icing began to slide off of the chocolate shell. By the time it was time to cut the wedding cake, it was a pretty sad sight indeed.
If you go with a baker to have your wedding cake made, make sure you ask them about any specific instructions that may come with a particular cake that you choose. You don’t want to have the same problem with your wedding cake that my sister-in-law did. Even though she is very easy going, it did put a damper on her day. You only have one wedding day, at least you can hope, and you don’t want something to happen to your wedding cake. If it does though, make sure you take it with good humor and don’t let it spoil your day. No matter what may happen to the outside of your wedding cake, it all tastes the same. For more information about a drawing for a f=r=e=e wedding cake or ipod write to Chef Hans and mention your name, your spouse to be name, date of the wedding and location chefhans@brotherscaterers.com

Selecting wedding facilities
Many people say a lot of fuss is made over an event that lasts one day and is over with the blink of an eye, but with a few simple touches this day becomes so much more than momentary bliss.
Location - This may be something of importance or may not matter to you. These days, however, more and more brides send these cards regardless of the time and location of their wedding. The only information you must include is your names and wedding date, although I suggest including location information as well so wedding guests can begin their travel plans.
You might want to reflect the location of the ceremony itself, in order to give your guests a hint where they are going to.
Church - After you have done that, you have to book a location for the celebration Brothers Caterers will assist you in finding the most suitable facility and a church for the religious ceremony. Although you may have a date in mind, those plans will be quickly altered if either your church is unavailable that day or a favored reception hall is already booked.
Outdoor weddings feel different from indoor ones, and small intimate churches are very different from backyards or cathedrals. Avoid any outdoor shots from 11am to 2pm; everyone will just be squinting. • Would an indoor or outdoor ceremony be more suitable / enjoyable.
Catering - So many elements of wedding planning, from the booking of the reception hall to the catering to the choice of church, hinge on how many guests will be attending, and unless you send out your wedding invitations in plenty of time you may be less guessing at this critical number.
Brothers Caterers can ensure that the wedding facility provide guest accommodations or there are convenient locations nearby.
For your convenience we have added the following article:
We recommend that if possible, both bride and groom will attend all interviews.

Actually, choosing the wedding site that is just right for you, is a lot of fun.
Before you start looking, you should brainstorm. As you do, take to consideration your budget, your wedding theme, the atmosphere you want at your wedding, your interests, and your guests.
The location is one of the most important aspects of your wedding so consider carefully what will make yours a special, one-of-a-kind wedding event. You have many option including a do it yourself wedding (friends and family contributing of course.) Following is a list to get you started. Unless the location is your top priority, choose the dream location and a few alternative sites that will be just right for you, so that if necessary you can be flexible. Some location are natural for weddings and offer all the amenities you need. Others rent the space and leave the rest to you, still others are free but you have to make all the arrangements. So, consider your budget, consider the work involved, consider your guests and choose the site that will afford you your dream wedding. The information you gathered, is actually a wonderful preparation for your interviews. FULL SERVICE WEDDING SITE and FACILITIES These are venues that can take care of every little detail regarding your ceremony and reception. You'll still need to attend to your personal needs. You'll need to attend to the attire, wedding accessories and wedding gifts for each other, family, and wedding attendants. SITES AVAILABLE on a RENTAL BASIS Many wedding sites that are available on a rental basis. Some provide the space, others provide tables and chairs too while still other provide linens, tableware, flatware and glassware as well. There are also rental based sites that have a working relationship with selected caterers and are familiar with other wedding service providers and vendors. PUBLIC SITES Public parks, beaches, gardens etc... make great wedding sites and are perfect for do it yourself weddings. They offer you the opportunity to express yourselves in an unconfined atmosphere. Most are free to use but you'll need to do the majority of the planning and contracting. Your first step is to find if you need any permits and or licenses. If you do, obtain them. HOME Many apartment complexes, condominums, mobil home parke and gated communities have club houses for their residents´ use. So whether you choose to have your wedding in a home or a club house, you'll need to be in charge. Do recruit your family and friends and assign them appropriate tasks. Most will be honored to be asked and excited to be a contributing part of your wedding. Are there bathrooms on the premises? ps * If you plan not to include children in your reception, do not alienate guests who'd rather bring children than miss your wedding. You should provide a babysitting service for such guests. Once you made your choice, you need to receive a written contract signed by the person in charge, and dated. The contract must include all of your responsibilities and all of the responsibilities, warranties and guarantees offered by the facility. Caveat Emptor - Buyer beware! Read each contract very carefully, on, under and above the line. Be sure that you understand it fully and agree with all the terms. If you have questions, concerns, or are uncertain, contact them for clarification.
