So, my brother's mother-in-law is a nanny for some lady who is getting married to someone who is a part of the second richest family in Great Britian. She threw my name out there and now they want me to cater their wedding and make their cake. I have one problem though, I don't know where to start because I do not have any equipment, many people that are willing and the details of the party [yet]. I was told (but not 100% for sure because I won't believe it until they show me that the wedding is a costly one and I find out from the people first hand) that there may be some "movie stars" there. Another problem is that I have never done this before. I've worked on caterings at Palm Beach Atlantic University, worked on some parties at Mark's in City Place (owned by Mark Militello) and I am working in the pastry department at the Ritz-Carlton in Tysons Corner (the top R-C for banquets) and I mainly do banquets, but I still don't know where I can rent materials, rent a place to cook, find all the people I need and the whole nine yards. I just need advice, suggestions, and whatever else can help me. I can organize well, I find answers when I don't know them, I delegate the right tasks to the right people and I have a slight idea of how catering works but I just need help. The littlest thing you may say can make a difference so please anyone.

I'm in NH, so I don't know of any caterers in that area.
Don't do it.
Don't mince words, Lyne.
I have to go with TigerWoman on this one.
A good caterer never said no.
