More reviews for your catering company
Caterers get stronger reviews by asking the day after an event, when the client is still pleased, and by asking wedding and event planners, who can vouch for how you work. AI can draft the request and the replies. A review should be real, and you should ask permission before quoting anyone.

Ask the person who hired you
The best review comes from the client the day after a good event. A short, warm message with one link works better than a survey. Send it from your own name, not a no-reply address.
If the event had a problem, deal with it first. Asking for a review before you have fixed a complaint tends to go badly.
Planners are the audience that matters
A planner who writes that you were calm when the oven failed is worth many five-star ratings. Ask planners and venue managers directly, and make it easy.
Use what you get
With permission, put a few lines on your proposals and event pages. A short reply to each review shows prospects that you pay attention.
Keep a folder of the reviews and thank-you notes you receive. Planners often ask for references, and you will have them ready.

Questions
Can I ask guests for reviews?
You can, but ask the client first. Guests did not hire you.
Should I put testimonials on my site?
Yes, with permission, and use the real words. Do not edit them.
What if a guest posts a complaint?
Reply calmly, say what you will do about it, and contact the client directly. The reply is for the next reader too.
