Can I do a taco night myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
