Nathaniel B W. says, "TYM3LESS (Quentin) was hired to prepare a Birthday dinner for my daughter. The food was outstanding with particular attention to detail. All of us felt the meal exceeded the expectations we would have had were we having a ribeye and side dishes at Ruth Chris, Morton's, or Capital Grille. From the shrimp stuffed with crabmeat to the last bite of an ultra-tender ribeye this was a meal to remember. We were so pleased we invited TYMLESS back to do several weekday dinners to give my daughter a rest from meal prep. I was also very impressed by Quentin's response time. I requested 5 chef's to respond and he was the only response on the same day. We have now completed 3 dinners prepared by TYM3LESS. They include the delicious ribeye dinner, a weekday feast of chicken parmigiana, and last a very enjoyable and delectable meal centered around lamb chops. Obviously, we will use TYM3LESS again and again." Read more

My name is Robert Debose and I have been enjoying my catering business for 15 years! I started my training at Ocean County College in Lakewood, NJ and The Arts Institute in Philadelphia. I love most making people happy at their special events, taking the worry off of them and creating excellent experiences. I was a home based caterer and started my business with little money or help from anyone. After being laid off from the casino industry, I took a chance on myself and stepped out on Faith.

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?

Loved Chef Fred's professionalism as well as his "down home" mannerism. I was very comfortable working with him for my event. The cuisine was plentiful (way more than what I expected) and delicious. I would absolutely consider using Southern Cuisine Catering Svcs again,

I recently attentiveness a party where Amédée catered! The chef herself is super sweet, professional, customer service is top notch! The food on the other hand. I can honestly say I’ve never had such great Haitian cuisine. I wish I could give her 100 stars.

We visited Under the Moon cafe, for the first time & gosh, it was brilliant! My daughter had the rice balls & meat empanadas, while I had the quiche of the day, which had some nice summer vegetables in it. Portions were definitely a great size & the food tasted amazing. We finished our meal with gelato, although we were spoiled for choice for desserts. I think next time we will choose some cake or other dessert to go! We sat outside & listened to the guitar player. There were family gatherings, couples & parents with young children there too. Highly recommend & we will be back soon!
