Lauren P. says, "From start to finish these ladies were awesome. They helped stay in our budget, offered great suggestions for the menu and even supplied us with vegetarian food that everyone loved. The food was outstanding. The Mexican salad and pulled pork were phenomenal. We had a ton of food and our college kids will be eating well for a few more days. The best part of working with them is they do what they say. If they are going to call you in an hour, they actually do call! We will definitely be using them again next year for our graduation party and parents weekend. I cannot say enough HOW AWESOME THEY ARE!! Thank you so much ladies!!!" Read more

Paul M. says, "An absolute game changer for my family. My daughter has super restrictive food allergies. She attends college in Charlotte and loves her school. The school was unable to meet her dietary needs, so much so, that she had to be hospitalized. Howard and Howard stepped in and not only provided her high quality food that she could eat, but the most delicious and nutritious food that she has enjoyed over the course of her life. Without Howard and Howard's help, she would not be able to attend the college that she loves. The experience has been fantastic and we highly recommend these wonderful people and their service to everyone we know." Read more

Tyesha A. says, "I found out about Nikki through a Facebook group. She had packages that could not be beat! Our menu consisted of a house salad, baked chicken, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans, and yeast rolls. I was nervous because our tasting had to be rescheduled due to illness, but due to scheduling, it was less than a month before our wedding. Thankfully, the food was delicious! The only negative thing was the day of our wedding. Nikki and her team were 1.5 hours late. I attempted to call her from my cell phone and one of my bridesmaid’s cell phone. She did not answer either call, but I was able to reach her by calling through Facebook. She said she was about 5 minutes late and had to run to Walmart to get a few last minute things. She arrived shortly thereafter. I would have appreciated a heads up as she got there only 30 minutes before my ceremony, but it did work out in the end. As for the food, the chicken breast was a little dry compared to the tasting, and the mashed potatoes were cold. The mashed potatoes being cold could have been because I was sitting by a fan. Overall, the tasting was better than the day of and I think that’s because Nikki had more time to prepare for the tasting, but was rushed for the wedding. With all that said, I would book her again and ask her to arrive earlier." Read more

Hello. My name is Pamela Diane and I am the owner of Jerry’s Karee Out & Catering. We are a privately owned catering company located in North Carolina. Our goal is to create an extraordinary experience with our customers by providing food that not only looks tasteful, but that also is delicious. I have been cooking for my family ever since I can remember. I needed something more than a 9-5 but just wasn’t sure what I wanted to do in life after creating several other businesses. I heard a preacher state one day. “Make you passion your paycheck”. I really didn’t know what my passion was. Until he then said “what is something that you would do

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?

The evening was a delightful blend of intrigue and indulgence, with the tantalizing mystery unfolding amidst the clinking of crystal and the soft strains of classical music. The culinary delights were provided by none other than Christine's Plates, whose garden-harvest seasonal salad and Tuscany chicken with egg noodles and spinach were the talk of the table. The accompanying broccoli and rolls were a testament to the simple pleasures of good food, while the rum cake dessert was a sweet ending to a thrilling evening. Here let my menu tell the tale.

First time utilizing Howard & Howard - and would HIGHLY recommend!! Howard & Howard catered a customer appreciation event for us with a chocolate fountain surprise to a top business partner of ours - complete with setting up a beautiful display, providing excellent customer service, and receiving fantastic response from our partners at the event!! From the very first connection I had with Pamela, all the way through the event and afterwards (including sending me pics), our experience has been exceptional! Pamela was very responsive, friendly, professional, and went the extra mile!! I'll definitely want to utilize them for future events in the NC area. A very satisfied customer!! ~ Sue M.
