@Joao054 Yes, but in this case because they are catering you would also call them the caterer. "I need to call the caterer and let them know I will need 10 more plates."
When you get your catering from a restaurant you wouldn't really call them the caterer, although you would say they catered your event. "Oh I had my food catered by that great restaurant downtown. The chef prepared their special a little extra spicy for us."

Catering is when you have someone make food for your event. A caterer is the person who makes the food for you. They might just make food for events like weddings and parties, or it could be a restaurant making a large quantity of their food for you.

can i ask one more question tho? what's the meaning of "sheranigans"?
- English (US)
Do you mean "shenanigans"? Because that is one of my favorite words. It means "activity or behavior that is not honest or proper".
That definition makes it sound really bad, but in context it can be more lighthearted than that. For example, you could talk about all the shenanigans you had to do to keep the surprise party a secret.
A similar word is "hijinks", but that does tend to imply a more naughty activity, but from context can still be fun and lighthearted.

so the title of this video makes sense because they are kinda acting out right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYN1EcbhB-0

Yes! A great example of shenanigans. 😊
You can use it for darker situations, like political shenanigans. But fun shenanigans are the best shenanigans.
