Who should oversee temperature control when wedding food is cooked off-site?

Answer

Direct answer

Name the catering person responsible for temperature control from preparation through transport, holding and service.

Ask how suitable equipment, checks and records will be used and who acts if a delivery or holding arrangement fails. Make responsibility clear between an off-site kitchen, transport provider and venue staff. Guests should not have to infer safety from steam, smell or appearance. Follow the competent caterer's validated food-safety process and local requirements rather than inventing a temperature rule from wedding experience.
