Full-Service Catering Costs: What to Know
A general rule of thumb in the events industry is that catering should comprise 25% to 35% of your total event budget.
Catering costs can vary based on factors such as menu selections, guest count, seasonality of ingredients, required rentals, and venue logistics. This flexibility enables us to create a customized plan that aligns with your event’s specific needs and budget.
Additional considerations, including staffing, necessary rentals, administrative fees, and any applicable minimums, will be clearly outlined and provided for your approval in advance, ensuring complete transparency.
For a full-service event dinner seating reception, pricing typically starts at 120 per person with our minimum of 50 guests, which includes both food and service.
