Eric S. says, "Donna and her son were fantastic! I hired them to bartend my wedding and couldn't be happier with their service. They went above and beyond my expectations! While guests were eating they would go table to table gathering any finished cups or plates. They were extremely friendly and I had many guests complimenting them to me. If I ever host a big party again I will definitely be contacting Donna again! Thank you so much for everything you really made our special day that much better!!" 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?

Chef Dre and Vi are incredible!!! They came to do a brunch in Galena for my bachlorette worth and it was easily the best meal of the trip. Feeding 33 hungover girls is not easy feat but they executed with perfection. We had an amazing spread with: Peach cobbler French toast, Smoked lamb chops with chimichurri, Breakfast potatoes, Chicken N Waffles bites with Oreo spice glaze, Shrimp and grits parfaits, Banana nut crepes, turkey sausages and bacon. My mouth is still watering just thinking about it. If you are having an event of any kind look no further for the perfect chefs. They are affordable, friendly and hilarious, traveled TO US, and made planning a dream. Thank you for making me and my friends feel like celebrities. Catered and pampered in every way. I wish I could have culinary collections cater my life every day. I have already hired them for some more events coming up and can’t wait to work together again. They are the best of the best in the business. Hands down!

Her service was amazing! She was professional, accommodating, and the food was a 10 out of 10. When it came to the catering I had nothing to worry about, she had everything handled. I gave her my vision and she executed it beautifully. Good service is hard to find so I'm happy I don't have to search anymore 😊.

Donna and her team are AMAZING! I first hired Donna for a family Christmas party a few years ago and was very impressed. I gave her a second job with a more significant amount of guests and she once again was amazing. Recently in June 2019 I hired Donna and her team to host a party of 150 guests. WOW did she and her team come through for us. What an amazing time my wife and I were able to have since Donna took care of literally everything. Drinks were amazing, service was amazing and attention to detail off the charts. She stayed well past her end time to ensure clean up was done to a professional standard. I 100% would recommend Donna as your personal hostess. You will not be disappointed!
