Caterer Booked!

If you read my post about Wedding Hurdles: Caterer Woes, you would know it's been a long wait for the official booking.

Well, guess what? We had officially booked Nurie Creations.

They have absolutely no social media whatsoever. From past experiences when they do, we were informed that other catering companies will post hate messages due to their low prices. Besides that, their main means of advertisement is through word-of-mouth or via newspapers classifieds. Even when they do advertise, they would do it sparingly because they usually do 2 weddings per weekend.

Anyways, this caterer has been around for more than 12 years and the main reason for having the business is just to have something to do (gotong-royong) with the family. She remains very low profile over these years but she said 'syukur alhamdulilah', despite it all, business is good. Her costs are low compared to others because she gauges profit within her needs; not in excess.

She does only 2 weddings per weekend and her prices are less than $10k for 1000pax and less than $7000k for 500pax depending on specific packages and all is inclusive of decor. Of course like any other packages, additional charges are available but if you want extra variety of food or request of an exclusive decor.

I can't speak for the 1000 pax pricing but it's really affordable for 500pax because if not all, most caterers has been quoting us about $10,000 to $13,000! That doesn't makes sense right? And even there are packages that they provide that is of lesser costs, the type of dishes are lesser too.

I know what are you thinking, "What's the catch?"

That's the thing. No catch. Just sincere people doing what they love. Even their deposit to officially book with invoice is not by the thousands and deposit only half of the cost 2 months before the wedding. Their food is delicious and we had tasted 3 times. We saw how they work as our appointments were at someone's weddings and would chat at the kitchen area. Everyone was working efficiently and workstations were clean.

[Our basic package - might add at least 2 more types of food like prawn & goreng pisang/keledek]

At this point, I don't want to over praise them lah. After all, despite my cousin had engaged them with no complains and our one-on-one time with the caterer has been wonderful, I will review more after my wedding just like other vendors.

Note that business is closed on Ramadhan & Shawal and packages prices are updated every mid year.

I am so glad to finally book a caterer!

Update:

Our wedding is done.
