Nayna G. says, "This is the best meal prep service I’ve tried so far! The portions are generous, the meals are fresh, and everything is packed with flavor. From the juicy chicken breast to the bourbon-glazed salmon and their signature avocado cilantro sauce, every bite was delicious. It makes eating healthy so simple and stress free.

Hello everyone, My name is Chef Lamai Devald . I grew up in Thailand where delicious unique and flavorful food is most popular and definitely world renowned. As a child I learned authentic Thai cuisine by watching my parents and my siblings create wonderful family meals each day. We had special celebrations on holidays and other event in my home town. I married an Israeli man and we spent 13 years in Israel . While there I encountered the same family meal preparation and learned it well. This is a very different type of food, though in its own way, equally delicious. Now I’ve spent 21 years in the USA learning the ways of food prepar

Petra B. says, "Working with Chef Mark was perfection! He responded right away and was prompt throughout our process. His dishes are as gorgeous to the eye as they are to the palette. We were a dinner party of 5 and everyone kept saying things like WOW, exquisite, delicious, so flavorful and tasty! Chef Mark kept our kitchen clean and we had nothing to do but relax and look forward to his serving the next course. It was a luxury well worth the price to be treated to such culinary expertise in our own home. He has unique offerings that are pure genius, all the while coming from his heart. Chef Mark is a consummate professional: experienced, personable, flexible, patient, humble, and highly skilled. I am spoiled now and dream of events for which I can once again hire him!" 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?
