Wedding Reception Tip from The Perfect Wedding Guide

A tip for brides I found very interresting on The Perfect Wedding Guide website is the following:
Does the wedding professional belong to a local or national industry association?

This question is directed at DJs but I think it's just as, if not more, important for Caterers.
Our answer is YES!

Our main affiliation is with the International Caterers Association, or ICA. Jason is on the Culinary Council of the ICA and we work with often.

Here's a picture of Jason at the ICA's Second Culinary Symposiumwas held in July 2008 at the National Center for Hospitality Studies, Sullivan University, Louisville, Kentucky.




Here is what the ICA offer us in their own words:


ICA is geared to the On and Off-premise caterer and vendors/suppliers to the catering industry who are passionate about the industry and where it grows to from here. ICA, as the premier catering professional association, is all about:
· Education for continuing growth
· The heightened off-premise catered experience
· The heightened on-premise catered experience
· Networking around the world with all styles of caterers
· Sharing of ideas, recipes and concepts
· Building of life-long relationships/friendships


The ICA is a major sponsor of the Catersource convention I will be at in Las Vegas next week.
Since the session we are in charge of is about blogging, I will try to blog each day at the show.
I have added a link to my Twitter page as well. I also "micro-blog" on that pages too.



Much more to come!
