Yep. First time catering for 17 family with poncy new ooni it was a bit windy and didn't get fully up to temp. First couple were complete disasters and I spat the dummy at my sous-chefs for not flouring the launch peel well enough, while my brothers chuckled at my ineptitude. For shame.

I've done many family functions. Couple of weddings (pre and after parties, not catering the actual weddings!). Running out of gas midway was a good one, although was back up and running in about 30-40 mins thanks to homebase being open til 8.
Once you can manage the stress of the pizza making, I find it much less stressful than having to interact with extended family, and everyone's grateful for pizza!

The pizza stress is real. I remember almost losing my rag when I was doing pizzas for the inlaws (as I do every christmas/boxing day now), as they insist on using spelt flour for everything and the dough was being a pain in the arse.
