Wedding Caterers
Many Swiss venues come with a kitchen and insist you use it, so the first thing to establish is whether you may bring a caterer at all. Where you can, the field runs from classic banqueting houses to alpine kitchens that cook on site at 2000 metres, Italian-Swiss operations in Ticino, and food trucks for the evening. Expect quotes per head with staff, hire and drinks itemised separately, and expect Swiss prices: a full service dinner rarely starts below three figures a head. Dietary requirements are handled well here, and most caterers will do a tasting before you sign.
