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.

  • $ 693 or less Lower range
  • $ 5,000 Average cost
  • $ 2,975 - $ 7,095 Most couples spend between
  • $ 11,525 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.

Maria and her team brought not only delicious, beautifully presented food but also a level of professionalism and flexibility that is rare to find. Even in the face of a weather curveball, they kept everything on track with poise, creativity, and warmth.

Their experience, responsiveness, and above-and-beyond service make them an easy recommendation for any couple planning a special event!

We used New York Liquid Catering for our rehearsal dinner and after party event and I can’t recommend them enough. The set up was professional and the service outstanding. John and his staff are very personable and knowledgeable. John, the owner, was amazing to work with. He was so accommodating, completely chill, and always answered my questions within minutes. For our after-party, he arrived before any of the guests and set everything up entirely on his own, without any direction from us. We walked in and it was perfect — he even brought extra lights to make the space look even better. The bar was a huge hit, especially his specialty drinks. I honestly couldn’t recommend John and Liquid Catering more. He made everything so easy and played a huge roll in making the weekend everything we hoped for.

Loree was great to work with! We had a wonderful experience! They arrived on time, the food was delicious and served hot. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the evening. They even brought our food directly to our sweetheart table so we could enjoy our meal without having to worry about a thing. We truly appreciated their thoughtfulness, professionalism, and great service. The staff was constantly busing tables and running around keeping everything clean and checking on us and our guests. Our guests can’t stop talking about how good the food was. It tasted just as good as our tasting. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for their wedding and we can’t thank them enough for making our special day run so smoothly. Prices are reasonable.
