// What standard service means
What is included, and what should be discussed separately
Standard wedding catering service
La Rio's standard service is hot delivery in catering trays with basic setup for a self-serve buffet line. This is the default assumption unless the quote says otherwise.
- Food delivered hot in catering trays
- Basic buffet-style self-serve setup
- Dietary quantities confirmed before booking
- Delivery timing coordinated with the venue
Confirm these separately before approval
Staffing, on-site cooking, teardown, rentals and any venue-specific production requirement should be raised before the quote is approved so the service scope stays accurate.
- Servers, attendants or staffed buffet service
- On-site cooking or live-station expectations
- Equipment rentals or extra tables
- Teardown, pickup or special venue rules
