Choosing each of the details that will help make your day special is what makes wedding planning so much fun. But from the moment you go to your tasting to the time you take your first bite of your wedding day meal, selecting your caterer is perhaps one of the yummiest decisions you will make -- next to the cake, of course!

Ohio is loaded with caterers who will help accommodate each one of your wedding day requests. Whether it is an ethnic-inspired menu you prefer, or a traditional sit-down dinner, the Buckeye State is sure to have a caterer to make your tummy full.

Things to Think About Before You Chow

Before you visit a caterer to asses whether or not the company will suit your wedding food needs, be sure to ask yourself these questions:

• Do you want a sit-down or buffet-style dinner?
• Do you hope to stick with any themes? For example, are you looking for a vegetarian or kosher reception? Or maybe you would like to give people their pick of a dinner with a buffet meal. The options are endless, depending on your preference.
• Where will your reception be located? Indoors or outdoors? This could affect your meal selections.

Switching Things Up

If you would like to offer food selections of the less traditional sort, then you may want to consider a cocktail-style reception. Guests would be able to munch on passed hors d'oeuvres and sip on fancy cocktail drinks. Another unique option would be a luncheon after an early morning ceremony where guests could enjoy gourmet finger sandwiches and light drinks, like mimosas. Finally, you may also want to consider a semi-new trend that involves setting up stations throughout your reception where guests can enjoy foods of different sorts, such as sushi rolls or make-your-own fajitas.

Wine and Dine in Ohio Style

Now comes the fun part where you get to start attending tasting and sampling food from various caterers. There is plenty of delectable food to be had around the Ohio region, but here are a few caterers worth a second glance:

• A Taste of Class in Cincinnati.
• Be Creative Catering in Hebron, KY.
• Sammy's Catering in Cleveland.
• Shane's Gourmet Catering in Columbus.
• Milo's Catering and Banquet Services in Columbus.

  After tasting food with a few caterers, you should be able to get a feel for who will best suit the vision you have always had for your big day -- including the one that will keep your belly satisfied!
