Making a Kiddush in Lakewood

A kiddush is the most common simcha in Lakewood and the simplest to price. Caterers either quote per person with a minimum, or sell it by the pan from a buffet list, so you can scale it from a shul kiddush for fifty to a full spread. Most shuls have a room and a set of rules; the caterer works around them.

What to book

1. Kosher Caterers in Lakewood. Per person with a minimum, or by the pan. Cholent, kugels, herring and cake platters are the core.
2. Simcha Halls in Lakewood. Usually the shul's own room, but simcha halls take kiddushim too.
3. Dessert Tables & Sweet Tables in Lakewood. Cake and fruit platters, if the caterer is not already supplying them.
4. Simcha Rentals in Lakewood. Tables, chafing dishes and linens when the shul does not provide them.

Worth knowing

• Ask whether paper goods and drinks are in the price. They are often quoted separately, per pan or per head.
• Buying by the pan is usually cheaper than a per-person package for a smaller kiddush. Ask for both.
• Confirm who sets up and clears. In a shul room this is frequently left to the family unless it is agreed in advance.
