The term, catering, is also used more generally for a person or a company providing similar services for any large event, particularly banquets, conventions, and weddings. Any event where all the attendees are provided food and drinks or sometimes only hors d'oeuvres is often called a catered event. The person or company doing the catering is called a caterer, and is generally responsible for not just preparing the food, but also serving the food, if necessary, or at least displaying the food on tables, often decoratively, where people can take the food at their leisure.
