How much does wedding catering cost?

Food and drink are a major part of the wedding experience (no one wants hangry guests!), so it’s no surprise that you’ll spend a big amount of your total budget on your wedding catering. The average wedding catering cost in the U.S. is about $4,000 with most couples spending between $1,800 to $7,000. Note that wedding catering prices do vary widely depending on your wedding’s location and many other factors, like guest count—but no matter where you’re getting married, delicious and plentiful food is essential to an amazing wedding reception experience.

$ 700 or less Lower range
$ 4,600 Average cost
$ 2,611 - $ 7,500 Most couples spend between
$ 12,500 or more Upper range

Costs displayed are based on spend from thousands of couples who recently reported pricing for this service within their WeddingWire review. Pricing varies based on factors including, but not limited to, vendor’s experience, level of expertise, event guest count, date, and geographic region.

What is included in a wedding catering package?

Your wedding catering may be provided by your wedding venue, or you may want or need to hire an outside caterer. Reading a wedding catering contract can be a bit confusing, but in general, your wedding catering cost will be priced on a “per person” basis. A standard wedding catering package includes the following:

Food: The wedding food cost is the most obvious part of a wedding catering package. You’re paying for the actual food that your guests will eat during cocktail hour and the main meal. Whether it’s served plated or buffet style is up to you and your caterer.
Beverages: Your caterer will likely provide beverages, both alcoholic and not, for your big day.
Staffing: From your event manager to cooks, servers, bartenders, and more, there are lots of staffers that will go into making your wedding day a success. It’s important to work with your caterer to make sure that you have enough people on hand to ensure a smooth reception.
Rentals: Your caterer may also provide rentals, from tables to chairs, dishes to glassware, utensils, and more. Some venues provide these rentals, or you may need to hire a separate rentals company.
Additional fees: Caterers may charge additional costs and fees, including cake cutting fees, corkage fees, and more. Be sure to read your contract carefully—and ask questions—to make sure you understand your wedding catering cost.

What are the different ways to serve wedding reception food?

When determining your wedding food cost, a big factor will be how you’re planning on serving the meal. There are a few serving style options for weddings:

Plated: Otherwise known as a sit-down meal, your guests will be served their meal at their table by a member of the wait staff. There may be a single entrée option served or several entrée options, which your guests can either order in advance (usually on their RSVP card) or at the event. This is the most formal and traditional of wedding serving styles.
Buffet: For a more casual serving style, guests serve themselves from a buffet station. Fifty percent of couples choose a buffet-style reception.
Family-Style: Servers provide large platters of food to reception tables, and guests pass the trays around and serve themselves.
Cocktail-Style: A more modern service style, food is served via passed hors d’oeuvres and at stations. This allows guests to walk around, and mix and mingle during the reception instead of sitting at their tables.

What is the average wedding catering cost per person?

The average wedding catering cost per person varies depending on your wedding’s service style. For a plated meal, the average cost of wedding catering in the U.S. is $40 per person. For a buffet, the average is $27 per person.

Is a wedding reception buffet always the cheaper option?

Most of the time, a wedding reception buffet is indeed less expensive than a plated dinner. While you’ll pay less in staffing and rentals for a buffet-style meal, you’ll need more food since guests are serving themselves. To keep your buffet budget-friendly, avoid serving costly foods (shrimp, for example) buffet-style or have a staffer on hand to serve your guests from the buffet to keep the portions under control.

What is the average cost of alcohol for a wedding?

Alcohol can comprise a major part of your total wedding catering cost. In general, the average starting price in the U.S. for bar service at a wedding is $15 per person.

La Pizza Napolitana ATL provided incredible catering for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with their service. From the moment we reached out, their communication was quick, attentive, and detailed - they really went above and beyond to understand our vision and execute it flawlessly. The pizza and service was seriously top notch, and all of our guests raved about how much they loved it. We're so grateful to the La Pizza Napolitana team for helping make our special day perfect. In fact, some of our friends have already booked them for their own upcoming weddings based on our rave reviews. Thank you again, La Pizza Napolitana ATL!

Juliana's was amazing start to finish for our wedding in April. We found them online and once we tried their food, never had a second thought. We had a tasting with my parents and it was such a hit that we could not be more excited for the wedding day to come! Everyone is still raving about how comforting and good the food was - nothing like they'd had at other weddings. On top of the great food, communication on changes and allergies were so easy and accommodated with ease! Truly could not recommend more!

Our experience with Cowboy Chicken was the one thing brides and grooms crave during wedding planning; stress-free. With all of the variables that come with weddings, Cowboy Chicken gave us nothing but confidence that they would come through with an excellent and affordable catering service. The amount of care and effort that went into every part of the day was evident from how the team handled the little things. Decorating a booth in the restaurant for our tasting, bringing food unexpectedly so our parents could try some and more showed us we and our guests were in good hands for the big day. Our wedding was the best day of our lives in part because of Jessica and Courtney and the rest of the Cowboy Chicken team, we cannot thank you all enough!
