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.

  • $ 895 or less Lower range
  • $ 3,000 Average cost
  • $ 1,685 - $ 4,150 Most couples spend between
  • $ 7,100 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.

Naman's Catering was recommended to us by our venue's owners. They turned out to be better than we could've imagine. Not a single complaint was uttered, every one of our guests was saying how everything tasted delicious and would ask who catered. The staff was awesome too, they were so helpful throughout the night, always cleaning and making sure everything was just right. When we were planning with Naman's they made sure to leave no question unanswered and made us feel confident with the menu and how things would go on the big day. They even offered taste testing, one that was chef's choice since we didn't know what we wanted and didn't send them out specifics of what we wanted to try, and the 2nd was our menu we ended up building with them after the first tasting. They also allowed us to change a couple of the appetizers with how they are normally prepared and helped us figure out exactly what would go good. They were so nice and willing to go that extra mile to make sure we were happy and had a good night!

We used Portabello Market for a beach wedding in December 2025. We had a taco bar for the rehearsal dinner that was excellent. For the wedding we had the prime rib and chicken with all the sides. Everything was great. Erika also provided breakfast sandwiches , fruit, and muffins for the morning of the wedding. The service staff was excellent, the food was top notch, and she was so helpful on things we weren’t sure of. Provided excellent suggestions and was punctual and professional. With us being 8 hours away, Erika and her staff made the planning stress free. Totally recommend 10/10!!

We couldn't have been happier with this vendor. Food was delivered on top and set up as instructed by our wedding coordinator. Our guests and bridal party loved the food so much, they went back for seconds! We ended up with leftovers and took these back home. We would highly recommend. Our wedding coordinator dealt with Heidi and she kept up with any changes we had such an increase or decrease of guests and change in menu.

We hired Chef Heyward and his team for our son’s rehearsal dinner hosted at the Compass Rose in Valparaiso. We were impressed with every step of the process. His team was very responsive as we chose the menu and decided on all of the details. Planning an out of town event is not easy, and Culinary Catering made it seamless. The food and presentation were amazing. We decided on a shrimp boil served catering style. It was the perfect elevated casual event. The guests raved about the food and professionalism of all involved. Thank you for making our event memorable in the best possible way!
