Hygiene measures, of course, such as providing hand sanitizers and ensuring there is enough space for social distancing according to the current regulations, should be observed.
Once you’ve finished with the Covid-19 rules, an essential and much more interesting question remains – what shall my clients feed their guests? Wedding catering may be slightly different from the usual. However, there are still many ways you can cater delicious meals for your clients’ family and friends.
