Help with low-cost Catering!

Catering through grocery stores. Look at other people's reviews to check them out first.

If you do need serving help, look for a service organization that might do this to raise funds, like an honor society of teenagers, or a women's group at a church.

Just keep in mind that with drop off catering, you will still need someone to set it up and keep it at the proper temperature.

Drop off catering will be hard because there is no one to set up, clean up & direct the guests.

I would find an Italian restaurant or BBQ joint that caters and provides staff. It's so much nicer when someone disperses food, and cleans up afterwards.

This reminded me of the engagement party our parents had for us. There was no catering staff and I remember the debacle during cake and coffee time. Having to brew the coffee, cut and pass out the cake .. It was chaotic .. You don't want to have to do that on your wedding day. You'll be busy talking to guests and enjoying your self!!!

One thing i've heard is a DIY pasta bar. giant tubs of premade plan pasta, and then a few sauce options. could easily be done yourself if venue allows.

Taco man!

Brunch

Hi Allison, it would be great if you could set an avatar photo. You’ll get more replies on your threads and it’ll help the community recognize you when you post. This can be done from the desktop version of the site by going to “My Settings”, or you can email a picture to community@weddingwire.com and someone will set it for you.

Olive Garden does a create your own pasta bar if that's something your looking for.

Pasta bar, tacos, bbq, brunch. All pretty cheap. We were lucky enough to find an awesome caterer in a small town near by and he's doing ours for $8.75 pp and $6.00 for kids buffet!!! He catered my friends wedding and its prob the best food I have ever had at a wedding. Salad, rolls, homemade butter, Lemon pepper chicken, beef tips in a red wine sauce, roasted red potatoes, green beans and he's including china for free. Look around and price out caterers in your area.
