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.

Hannah, at Talk of the Town, provided amazing and totally reliable service and expertise throughout the process of wedding planning for a sit down, served meal. She was accomodating to all our special requests and responsive. The food at the event was delicious and top-notch - like a fine restaurant. Service was also excellent at the event. Highly recommend Talk of the Town and will certainly use them again when the need arises.

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!

Stephanie & Ryan did such an amazing job with our wedding! Absolutely everyone LOVED the food, guests still rave to me about it anytime we talk about the wedding! They were also great about making accommodations for dietary restrictions. We have a handful of vegetarian/vegan/gluten-sensitive guests and they were all able to load up their plates with lots of different options. They are such a sweet husband-wife duo and were a pleasure to work with. We recommend without hesitation!

Sabor con Sazon is an incredible catering company that blew my wife and I away on our special day!!! From the first call with Patricia, we knew that we had chosen a great catering company! She was incredibly attentive in listening to the specific wants that we had in mind, and steered us in the right direction on the little details that we were unsure of. Their guidance and knowledge they provided us allowed our special day to be stress-free, and their set up on the day of looked amazing! Don’t get us started on the flavor of the food! Sabor con Sazon is definitely the perfect name as everything was incredibly flavorful and exactly what we were looking for. The only real specific that we wanted on our wedding was authentic tacos, and Sabor con Sazon knocked it right out of the park!! You could definitely tell everyone working our wedding took pride in providing the best possible service, and ensured that there were no hiccups. If you are looking for a caterer with excellent customer service that will deliver incredibly delicious food to your event, look no further! We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sabor con Sazon and cannot wait to work with them again for our next big event (:

Ms. Vanessa, Pamela, and the whole team at Step-by-Step were easily one of the best vendors we chose. Vanessa was wonderful from start to finish and her food is DELICIOUS! My husband doesn’t even like shrimp but he couldn’t get enough of her coconut shrimp! Vanessa drove all the way from Atlanta to Hiawassee for my final walk through so she could see the space and get a layout, my planners said that’s very rare for out of town caterers. I gave Vanessa and Pamela an idea of what I wanted for my tables and they nailed it! Guests were coming up to me all night telling me how good the food was, and we are still hearing about it three weeks later. Vanessa also made sure we ate and set aside food for us for after the wedding, which was so wonderful because we were super hungry. Step by Step is timely, professional, wonderful decorators and the food is so yummy! I am so happy I booked them and would do it again in a heartbeat. You cannot beat this place.
