I'm planning a wedding and I picked out a few caterers...I'm trying to not be rude, and I know I'll have to ask them specifically, but there are some items I want to be served that they can't offer (i.e. a special type of oyster) I'm wondering if it is normal for this to happen and if it is generally something they are flexible with or if they strictly serve their foods only for safety issues or profit?

This varies by caterer. Most are able to do special dishes but will charge you a lot to do them.

It will vary.The ones I have dealt with are willing to work with me - I have food allergies as well as am a fussy eater. They have all been up front "that will cost more" or "that we can change without any charge".

You won't know unless you ask them. Some caterers are happy to fix whatever you want that isn't on their menu as long as they have a recipe and/or you give them enough advance notice. Others though only stick to their preset menus.

Anything out of their routine probably will cost more money.

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
