Average prices per plate for sit down dinner?

Hey Adriana! Welcome to the community!

I think the WeddingWire Cost Guide will be really helpful to you for this one! Here is the National Wedding Catering Cost Guide. There is some great info in the article beneath that will also help you out!

The cost of catering can vary hugely depending on your guest count, the serving style, the type of food and ultimately, the caterer that you choose.

Have you found any caterers that you are interested in?

Do you know what type of food you would like to serve?

Are you looking for a venue Adriana? 😊

In Chicago it’s hard to find anything less than $100 per person if your serving drinks. Without you’d be around $60-70 each. Down state I would assume is more reasonable.

If you have a tight budget it’s cheaper on Fridays Sunday and November to April will also bring cost down. I found non-traditional wedding venues tend to allow smaller weddings and more reasonable. And always check what’s included (linens, decorations, cakes, etc.)
