What's the average cost you are paying for catering? (160 people)

View Quoted Comment That’s what I thought!

View Quoted Comment Wow that is a great price!!!!

That sounds high. But if your budget is high then you may be fine. Ours came out to about $1,400 for 150 people. 8$ per person

I’m not trying to be rude are anything but my Aunts wedding no children were allowed maybe that’s something you could think about to cut down the coast on food.

I’m doing buffet style for $1,200 for 200 people 😅

My caterer is very low priced, but they have excellent food. Nothing super fancy, but it tastes good and the portions are large.

My catering is only $13 per person, plus 20% of my catering bill for servers & table bussers. We are also paying $2 per person for pop & mixers all night.

My catering bill should be around $2,195 for 125 guests. That's not including alcohol. If I add all that together, the final cost (excluding alcohol) would be under $18 per person.

I'd say with alcohol included, it would be around $22.50 per person.

View Quoted Comment Girl!!! Tell me your secret please!!! We’re just doing a basic bbq for our food and supplying our own beverages and we’re still sitting at almost $4000 for 100-130 people

View Quoted Comment I’m in central California! We’re having a lady that owns her own little business make our food! We’re having her make two different meals, just in case there’s picky eaters. The price only includes the food and the waiters. We’re paying for alcohol, plates, napkins, etc!

I just paid for my caterer yesterday. She was a total of $1,360. She is making two meats, two starches, a vegetable, dinner rolls. Two appetizers, three drinks, she is serving and cleaning up afterwards. And serving the cake.

Sorry that was for 80 people.

View Quoted Comment 😩😩. Well let me clarify. Its $3k if I include appetizers. Its $1950 for dinner (mexican food) which includes 3 meats, rice, beans, vegetables, pasta salad, tortillas/dinner rolls, salad bar, and fruit bar and 2 big agua fresca barrels. I decided to include indian food appetizers from a different company which is way more expensive $1100 for 150ppl for 4choice appetizers

View Quoted Comment Oh trust I know😢😩 I’m seriously considering just having my FH grandma and aunts make big batches of rice and beans and empanadas, croquettes and do a Cuban buffet (his heritage)

What is all included in your price? Is that just the meal? Or does that include dessert and drinks too?

We are paying $10.50 a plate per person and kids under 8 are a 2 for 1. So, for 300-315 people it is like $3,300.

View Quoted Comment Definitely an option if they can make enough food for 100 ppl without being overwhelmed

View Quoted Comment That is awesome!! That's an amazing price!! What state are you in?? If you don't mind me asking..

View Quoted Comment Wow, that's a great price too!! That's less than $10 a person!! That was a great find!!

View Quoted Comment Wow, that's awesome!!

View Quoted Comment Oh yeah!! $11,000 for 170 people us a great price!! I'm paying $8,500 for 100 with about the same perks as you, except we get a full open bar.. But yeah, you are definitely getting a great deal!! Congratulations on your wedding!!

View Quoted Comment That's a super great price girl!! Like almost unbelievable it's so good, lol!! Congratulations on your wedding and good luck to ya'll!!

We originally were going to do catering but we realized it was sooooo far out of budget for 150 people and there’s been issues with picky eaters in his family that we couldn’t come up with it. So we decided to do a potluck/finger food made my immediate families.
