Everything comes in trays all ready to put on the sternos. If the food is coming from a professional no worries, they know the drill. If friends and family are cooking, just don't put a cold tray on a sterno. It will take forever to warm.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes! Everything comes in trays all ready to put on the sternos.

What that means is the food has to be either fully cooked or just needs to finish getting to temperature before service. Talk to your caterers about this and see what options they have for you.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think what they are saying is they have a setup that will allow them to warm up food or make up plates, but do not have a full kitchen to cook in.

The hall we rented let us just heat the food with the buffet stainless steel containers with burners under them. He doesn't allow cooking in his facility.

They bring in their own ovens and stovetops. A sit down dinner should be no problem. Even though we had a buffet our caterer brought in the necessary equipment to cook on site so no food was cooked beforehand.<br><b>References : </b><br> Most caterers will not use a venue’s kitchen for liability reasons.

Everything was prepared ahead of time and they had warming stations set up not even in the kitchen but in a small section of the ballroom (separated by a wall from everyone else) we were not using. All the food came out tasting fresh and hot, it worked well. If they can do that, I'm sure your caterer can come up with a way to make it work without using the kitchen to cook. You just need to speak to the caterer about the hotel's rules and make sure they will work around them the day of.<br><b>References : </b><br> I had a kosher wedding which means the food needs to be prepared in a kosher kitchen (which the hotel did not have) by and outside kosher caterer.

Find another hall.

That way you wouldn't be using any of their appliances or anything.<br><b>References : </b><br> Well, I guess you could get the little flame cans that they use to keep buffet food warm to heat up the catered food and then serve it from the kitchen.
