5 approved caterers 14 criteria 5 cities
See the 5 caterers Find my style first

The directory has 5 caterers for this province and only one has its address there. The others come from La Louvière, from Froidchapelle or from Etterbeek and come up with their equipment. For a caterer, distance is not a line on an invoice, it is a question of the cold chain and of what time the plates go out. And many venues here, barns in the pays de Herve, farms in the Liège Ardenne, have no professional kitchen, so the first question is about what they bring with them.

What food do you picture at the table?

All 5 do French and fine dining, 4 barbecue and Italian, 3 vegetarian and vegan.

Or by province

1 are based in Liège province, 4 come from a neighbouring province. In this trade, travelling is normal.

How to choose your caterer for a wedding in Liège province

  1. 1Check what is really in the venue kitchenMany barns in the Liège Ardennes and the Pays de Herve have only a water point and a socket. Show the kitchen to the caterer before you sign, not after.
  2. 2A caterer coming from far away plates up later4 of the 5 caterers come from another province. Ask what time the van arrives and how long setup takes, that is what sets the real time of the meal.
  3. 3Local produce has to be asked for, it does not turn up on its ownJambon d'Ardenne, cheeses from the Herve region, Liège syrup. If you want the menu to speak of the region, say so at the first meeting, otherwise you get the standard menu.
  4. 4A barbecue depends on the weather up on the heights4 caterers offer one. On the eastern plateaus, evenings stay cool even in summer. Plan a covered fallback before you commit to eating outside.
  5. 5Count the diets before you count the plates3 caterers do vegetarian and vegan. Ask for that number when the invitations go out, not the week before, because it changes the order and sometimes the price.

The five questions to ask at the tasting

  • Have you worked at our venue before, and if not will you come and see it beforehand?
  • What exactly do you bring: cooking equipment, refrigeration, tableware, waiting staff?
  • How many of you will be front of house for our number of guests?
  • Is travel to our town included in the price per person?
  • How do you handle vegetarian and vegan diets and allergies on the day itself?

What it costs

For a full wedding meal, count somewhere between 60 € and 150 € per person, depending on the number of courses, the front-of-house staff and the drinks.

Frequently asked questions

How many caterers does wewed list in Liège province?

5, and only one is based there. The other 4 travel from Etterbeek, La Louvière or Froidchapelle. That is few, so get in touch early. All 5 cover French and fine dining, 4 barbecue and Italian, 3 vegetarian and vegan.

Can a caterer cook in a barn with no kitchen?

Yes, and it is common here, where many venues are farms and barns. The caterer arrives with a mobile kitchen, but they need space, power and van access. Those three points are checked on site, not over the phone.

Venue or caterer first?

The venue first, almost always. Some impose their caterer or charge corkage, which narrows your choice before you have tasted anything at all.
