How Do You Choose the Right Wedding Caterer? Sustainable Catering and Cost Tips | WDP Ep 66

Wedding catering is one of the most important parts of the guest experience—and one of the biggest decisions couples make during wedding planning. In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, Iron Diamond Media owner Sonja Babich sits down with Sydney Stevens, Editor of Wisconsin Bride and Nebraska Wedding Day and Managing Editor of Minnesota Bride, to interview Dan Nowak, CEO, partner and “Tall Guy” behind Wisconsin-based Tall Guy and a Grill Catering, a member of Brazen Standard Hospitality. With nearly 15 years in the hospitality industry, Dan has grown his company from a small catering operation inspired by the recipes of his grandmother’s kitchen into a large hospitality group serving weddings and events across the Midwest. Now operating under Brazen Standard Hospitality, the company offers full-service catering, bar catering through Crafted Tavern, dessert service through The Dessert Cart and tabletop rentals—giving couples flexible ways to build their wedding dining experience. Dan also shares how Tall Guy and a Grill became the only certified green caterer in Wisconsin through the Green Restaurant Association. From composting programs and energy-efficient kitchens to seasonal menu planning and local sourcing, sustainability is woven into the company’s operations. The conversation also dives into the realities of wedding catering costs, how couples should compare catering proposals and why asking the right questions early can make a major difference during the planning process.
