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.

  • $ 300 or less Lower range
  • $ 2,500 Average cost
  • $ 1,500 - $ 3,800 Most couples spend between
  • $ 7,350 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.

If food at your event is a priority, go with this team. First, the head person has a sense of humor. Anyone who has planned an event can vouch for how helpful humor is in a big planning moment. Second, the food was INCREDIBLE! Even the photographer did a shout out on their personal site for this catering. Several of our guests asked about their services, and wanted to book their own events with this catering company! Finally, they were kind and flexible. I was 3 months pregnant and HUNGRY all of the time. I wanted to make sure food was available throughout the night (they made it happen), and to go (they did this too!). Food was one of my top 3 wedding event priorities, and they exceeded my expectations. Amazing owner. Gourmet food. Stellar service. This is the way to go 100%.

I am so glad we hired Mary and her team at Classic Catering! They are amazing! So very easy to work with, all you have to do is give them your ideas and they make it happen! The food is the best part! All of our guest told us the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. We did not know until we watched our wedding video that Mary and one of her staff even fixed the wobble on our sweetheart table before we sat down, I love that attention to detail!! If you want a caterer that you never have to worry about this is your company! We had no issues with anything! Even when our guest count went down at the end we had no problem getting the refund for over paying, we had it in 2 days! I will hire them again in the future if I ever need a caterer again!!

We had a tasting with Taylor Made and it was amazing. The owner made us feel at home at their office while we went over options and tasted the food we selected. He was great about giving us time to talk as a couple but not feel left alone or constantly being watched/hounded. The food is amazing and you can tell they take pride in making items from scratch and preparing them well. We decided on our drive home that we didn't need to taste another cater and signed the contract the next day. They are amazingly friendly and work with you, we cant wait to have them cater our big day this October!

Your Guide to Choosing A Wedding Caterer In Kansas City

Kansas City is the largest city in Missouri and is a metropolitan melting pot of art, culture, and history. Thanks to its contributions to music, particularly to the genres of jazz and blues, it is the only city in the United States to hold the title of ‘A City Of Music’, granted by UNESCO. Kansas City boasts a beautiful cityscape, with over 200 fountains scattered throughout, offering idyllic wedding photo opportunities at every corner.

Catering and Cuisine in Kansas City

vKansas City is well known for its foodie culture, in particular for its expertise in cooking barbeque. The city contains more barbecue restaurants than any other area in the US, perhaps since the idea of mixing molasses into barbeque sauces was born here. With a wide variety of wedding caterers, couples can choose between the city’s traditional cuisine and a variety of fare including other classic American dishes, Mexican, and Italian. If your venue does not provide a bartending service, it might also be worth checking out wedding caterers who can provide both food and drinks to save you some extra time and money.

Alternatives In The Gateway To The West

If Kansas City isn’t quite what you have in mind, try heading down to Jefferson City, just a couple of hours away. While smaller than its neighbor, Jefferson City is Missouri’s capital, and contains many of the state's noteworthy historical buildings such as the Missouri State Capitol and the Governor’s Mansion. Set on the Missouri River and with 18 vast parks totaling 1,400 acres of picturesque scenery, the city offers a picturesque location for outdoor and waterfront nuptials.

What To Expect From The Weather

Kansas City benefits from a warm and temperate climate, with the mildest months being May, June, and September. During July, temperatures can reach up to an average high of 90.1 degrees, while the coldest month is January when they can dip as low as 22.4 degrees.
