Bermuda Catering Services
There are many questions that need to be answered before you choose the caterer or a restaurant for special occasions like a wedding reception or private party in Bermuda. For example, are you looking for full service buffet or a sit down type full service dinner? How much and what provision do you need to make for your vegetarian guests?
Do you want traditional Bermudian cuisine or other type of food like continental, Italian, French or American? Do you want to consider serving drinks or like to put up a full service bar? Answers to all these will really depend on your budget, the profile of your guests and of course selection of the caterer.

Wedding Receptions
If you are planning a reception dinner in a hotel, in general hotels will use their own in-house catering services. Whether you engage a wedding planner in Bermuda or manage all wedding activities yourself, it's always a good idea to know what are the best restaurants, catering and food options available in the island.
If you have decided on an outdoor wedding location like the Astwood Park, here is an idea: Why not get the caterer to put up a tent on the park itself and make all the arrangements for the dinner right at the wedding site. If you want, the caterer will even supply chairs, tables, tents, utensils and everything else required for the dinner.
For indoor dining, other than the hotels that I have discussed under
Wedding Locations, there are some excellent waterside restaurants that
can be great venues for reception dinner.
The restaurant Splendido in Paget and right across the Elbow Beach can be a great choice. It has a marvelous dining room and a terrace which overlooks the south shore. In case of rains, they have indoor option as well.
UPDATE: Splendido has closed down.
Other great restaurants to host the wedding dinner includes
Harbourfront in Hamilton City overlooking the harbor, and
Fourways located in Paget overlooking the Hamilton Harbor having both indoor and outdoor options.

Celebrating our 30th Anniversary in Bermuda May 2013. Staying on a houseboat at the Dockyard. Rather than a dinner on the beach, I was considering having a chef come in and cook us dinner on that night? Do you know of anyone that hires out to cook for such an evening?
