Joel D. says, "We had the pleasure of working with THE HUMBLE CHEF LLC for our graduation ceremony dinner at the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Academy (Class 479), and they truly exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and memorable. The Italian menu they provided was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Our graduates and their families were raving about the food all night — the pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were rich and authentic, and the service was top-notch. You could feel the passion behind every bite. We are incredibly grateful to THE HUMBLE CHEF team for helping make our celebration so special. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence made a lasting impression. We absolutely recommend them for any event — and we’ll definitely be calling them again for future academy functions. — Deputy Joel Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Academy, Class 479" Read more

Your Wedding and Event Catering questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much is catering?

Catering costs $10 to $35 per person for basic party food or a drop-off service. On average, caterers charge $500 to $7,500 total for 50 guests, $1,000 to $15,000 for 100 guests, and $1,500 to $23,000 for 150 guests. Alcohol or bartending options often cost extra.

Formal catering or wedding catering costs $30 to $200 per person for plated meals, a buffet, or food stations. A food truck rental costs $10 to $40 per person, depending on the type of event and whether you hire the truck on a weekend or holiday. Popular food truck menu options include tacos, pizza, BBQ, and ice cream.

What is catering?

Catering means supplying food and drink at a party, wedding, or other gathering. Some catering companies provide waitstaff, while others offer self-serve buffet stations or simply drop off prepared food to an event. Different catering companies provide different types of foods and cuisines, including:

  • Italian
  • Mexican
  • Barbeque
  • Japanese
  • Pizza
  • Sandwiches
  • Ice cream
  • Breakfast or brunch

How far in advance do I need to order catering?

Most caterers recommend ordering at least a few weeks to 6 months in advance, depending on the type of event and number of guests. However, catering a small party may not require as much advance time as a wedding, holiday party, or large corporate event.

Large chain restaurants often provide limited, drop-off catering services and require less notice than professional catering companies. Some chain restaurants and grocery stores offer catering services with only one day's notice.

What do caterers provide?

Caterers supply all the food for your event, either cooking it on-site or preparing it in their own kitchen beforehand. Many catering services include serving dishes, plates, glasses, and silverware in their price. Some caterers also offer tables, chairs, linens, or custom place settings for an added fee.

How long do caterers stay at an event?

Caterers typically serve food for 1 to 4 hours, depending on the time of year and number of guests. Setup usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Ask your caterer whether they will include any of the setup or cleanup time in their estimate.

Do you tip caterers?

Some caterers include a gratuity charge of 15% to 20% on your bill that is split between the servers. Before adding a cash tip, ask your caterer or review the contract to make sure a gratuity charge is not already included. If you decide to give cash tips directly, pay each person between $15 to $50.

How do I choose a catering company?

Search our list of caterers, then:

  • Get three or more free estimates to compare.
  • Read their reviews and menus on Fash and Google.
  • Choose a licensed, insured, and experienced company.
  • Try menu tasting before your event if possible.
  • Make sure they're a good fit for your budget and schedule.
  • Get a written estimate or contract.
  • Avoid making a large payment before your event begins.

After reading reviews and asking questions, hire the best company in your area.

What questions should I ask caterers?

When looking for local catering companies, consider asking the following questions:

  • How long have you been catering?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How far in advance do I need to book?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • Do you allow menu changes?
  • Will you bring prepared food, or will you prepare it onsite?
  • How long will you be able to serve food?
  • How long do you need to set up?
  • Do you charge extra for travel fees?
  • Will you give me a written estimate and contract?

received impeccable 5 star service from this company. The food was truly delightful. Beautifully cooked, with generous portion. The menu offered a nice variety, from vegan to some of our favorites.

Chef James is a food artist. His food is creatively designed with unique ingredients and surprises such as edible flowers in a salad. One time he created a beautiful salad in a Parmesan cheese “taco” shell to accommodate a low carb request. It was a salad that looked like a taco. Not only was it cool to look at and nutritious, it was delicious! And his fish entres are amazing with unique combinations of flavors and so beautifully plated. He loves his work and it shows in his meal creations. I am grateful to be able to have a nationally recognized chef in our community.
