Buffet Style Catering Prices...?

That sounds very reasonable to me. Some questions you might want to ask the caterer:

-Does that include taxes?

-What about gratuity?

-Do they provide servers, set-up, clean-up? At what cost?

-Are they providing dishes, utensils, serving trays, warmers, etc?

You've got time so it doesn't hurt to ask questions and do some comparison shopping!

That is a f***ing awesome price!!!!!!!!!!

I think 13 a person is a really great price!

I think pricing depends on the area, but that sounds like a great price to me!

Well she's in Pennyslvania, right? Either way, that's an amazing price. Even down in Alabama (my home) that would be a good price.

I think that sounds great! I am from a rural area a few hours south of Chicago and I think the cheapest price I was quoted was $18 and that was for only one choice of meat.

Servers/set up/clean up is all included in the cost...

dishes/utensils/etc. are an additional cost..

i thought it seemed pretty reasonable i just wanted to absolutely positive i was getting a good deal.

Damn, who are you using, and will they come down to Maryland? LOL

That's a really good price. My venue does a similar menu for parties (they won't do it for weddings) that is $35 pp. make sure you ask the questions Shannon mentioned, though.

Ruther's Catering... Serving Central Pennsylvania

Thanks so much guys.. i feel a lot more confident in selecting them now!

Ruther's or Rutger's? I can't find it on google

Well, that sounds good, but what are your other costs? Venue? Rentals?

We had my daughters wedding at a hotel. It was a buffet dinner, with appetizers during the cocktail hour. The only extra expense I had (as the one paying the tab) - the napkins....the hotel did not have the color I wanted, so I spent an extra $85 (I had a coupon from a Bridal Show.)

That's an amazing price

Yes!! My menu is similar and my price range was 10-12 a plate. Good job

Like i said before, i'm not really sure of the cost of anything else... i have not done very much planning yet. (sadly i have a horrible procrastination habit) the caterer and the venue are the only things i have really researched so far.

Thats an awesome price!!!

Thats an awesome price. I work for a hotel/ casino and we have a buffet on our catering menu similar to that and the cost is $28 per person. This does NOT include tax or gratuity.
