A Real Guide for Engaged Couples Who Want Great Food Without the Stress
If you’re recently engaged (congrats!), there’s a good chance that planning your wedding has already opened up a thousand questions—and let’s be honest, one of the most fun (and overwhelming) decisions is figuring out the food.
As the owner of Brandt 1910, a historic wedding venue in Fulshear, TX, I’ve worked with tons of caterers over the years. While many are decent, only a few have truly stood out for their service, flavor, and stress-free approach. If you’re looking for the right wedding caterer—one that fits your style, your guest list, and your budget—this guide is for you.
Let’s break down what to look for, how to find trusted local caterers, and why I always recommend the All-Inclusive Wedding Package at Brandt 1910, featuring catering by Pier 36 Seafood and Oyster Bar.
Step 1: Finding Wedding Caterers Near Fulshear, TX
When you start Googling phrases like “wedding catering near me” or “best caterers in Fulshear,” you’ll likely get pages of results—but not all caterers are created equal. Here’s how to narrow down your options:
🔍 Ask Your Venue for Recommendations
Great venues (like Brandt 1910) have preferred vendor lists based on years of experience. These are the folks we’ve seen show up, deliver, and keep things running smoothly—while keeping your guests happy.
Pro Tip: Not every venue lets you bring in your own caterer. At Brandt 1910, outside caterers are always welcome (as long as they’re insured), giving you the freedom to personalize your menu.
💬 Check Real Reviews
Use Google, WeddingWire, and Yelp to read what actual couples are saying about local catering options. Join local wedding or foodie Facebook groups and ask for recommendations—people love sharing their best (and worst) experiences.
🍤 Explore Local Favorites
Look for caterers with strong reputations in wedding and event catering—especially those with experience serving venues like Brandt 1910. Pier 36 Seafood and Oyster Bar is one of our most trusted partners, known for flavor, professionalism, and service that feels effortless.
Step 2: What to Look for in a Wedding Caterer
Choosing a caterer isn’t just about good food. It’s about working with someone who understands the flow of a wedding day and can deliver a consistent experience from first bite to final toast.
1. ✅ Experience & Professionalism
Choose a caterer with experience serving weddings of your size. They should be familiar with your venue, have a solid track record, and know how to roll with the unexpected (because something always comes up).
Why We Trust Pier 36: Executive Chef and Owner Jimmy Cantu brings decades of culinary and event experience. His Catering Coordinator, Karla Schelb, is organized, responsive, and genuinely a joy to work with.
2. 🍽 Flavor & Menu Flexibility
Let’s be honest—everyone remembers the food. When you meet with a caterer, ask for a tasting and talk through dietary needs, family traditions, and presentation preferences.
Pier 36’s Signature Wedding Menu (at Brandt 1910):
- Fresh salad plated individually
- A buffet-style chicken entrée with comforting sides like mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and garlic bread
- Refreshments: sweet tea, water, and soft drinks
(Plus, they’re happy to customize if you have something else in mind!)
3. 👩🍳 Full-Service Support
The last thing you want on your wedding day is to worry about who’s setting up the buffet or cutting the cake. A great caterer will handle it all.
Ask:
- Do they provide servers?
- Do they handle setup and cleanup?
- Will they work directly with your venue team?
Pro Tip: Don’t forget to ask if they’ll cut the cake for you! You’d be surprised how many couples forget to plan for that until it’s time for dessert photos.
4. 💵 Transparency & Value
Most catering packages range from $24 to $45 per person, depending on the menu, staffing, and rentals. Be sure to ask:
- What’s included in the per-person price?
- Are there extra fees for staff, travel, or equipment?
- Can they create a custom package to fit your needs?
At Brandt 1910, our All-Inclusive Wedding Package includes everything from linens to servers to clean-up—plus full-service catering from Pier 36. It’s designed to make budgeting (and planning) easier for you.
