This is where Café Miranda excels. There are many facets of your reception to consider and discuss when you meet with Café Miranda, or any caterer, for the first time, here are the key topics:
Long Range Vision
Planning far enough ahead to insure the date you have selected for your wedding is available should be at the op of your list. This is also the time to learn the booking and payment process. At Café Miranda we ask you to complete a couple of documents that will help you and us focus in on the key initial details to start the planning and decision making process that is just beginning.
We suggest that you ideally meet with us at least 9 months before your wedding. Café Miranda has a long history and many strategic relationships in Maine that can help you with your planning. Our list of preferred suppliers, including venues, is a rich source of information.
