When you book a wedding with Dubsdread Catering, we strive for excellence, and to make your day as stress-free and as memorable as possible. Our attention to detail and sharing of expert knowledge starts the second you book with us all the way through to your wedding departure (and even afterwards). We thought we’d share just one of our details that we do to assure your event with us is the most memorable experience of your life.
The day of the wedding is the culmination of a million little ideas, inspirations, and plans to take care of the guests that will be joining you. Our team wants to take care of you, too, and one of the many ways that we do this is by providing you with a dedicated day-of head table server. Your dedicated head table server acts as a personal butler for the couple on their wedding day to make sure they always have every and anything they need throughout the event.
Our head table server’s happily help you by:
- Greeting the couple upon arrival and bringing drink requests and light snacks to the grooms room and bridal suite
- Fixing the bride’s train before she walks down the aisle, so it is picture perfect
- During cocktail hour, taking drink requests from the wedding party and couple, as well as bringing them hors d’oeuvres to snack on
- When the couple is with their photographer, bringing them appetizers and drinks to wherever they are on the property
- If doing a buffet, plating food for the couple based on their requests and at the right time to assure proper temperature, and that they eat!
- Creating to-go boxes from their food choices for the couple
- Throughout the reception, serving the couple their drinks of choice
- Bringing a slice of wedding cake to the couple (or multiple slices if there’s multiple flavors)
- At the end of the night, packing up all the drop offs, gifts, and extras to ensure everything gets placed in the correct car
- Overall, making sure the bride and groom have nothing to worry about and can enjoy the experience they’ve created

- JOSE: Having the opportunity to be part of the couple and their family’s special day even if it’s a small part.
- JACK: Knowing that I can honestly help them thru a rather stressful day: Lose a button? I’ve got a sewing kit, break a shoelace? I’ve got an extra one. You need anything, most likely I can get it for you!

- BOB: Not anything at this time.
If you could give some advice to couples from your experience, what would it be?
