How much did you pay for catering?

View Quoted Comment It all sounds so fancy! I bet it was delicious

View Quoted Comment I’m also in the Midwest our cost sounds about the same for the quotes that I’ve gotten.

View Quoted Comment Chicken, beef, and steak for the meat, beans, rice, lettuce, tomatos, onions, olives, cheese sour cream, taco sauce, salsa, hard shells, soft shells, and chips. Right now that is what all we have decided.

We are getting married in Puerto Rico with a guest list of 100. So far we have received two quotes and both of them for 5-6 hors d'oeuvres and two meat buffet with salad, bread, and sides came out to $6,500-$6,800 not including drinks! Needless to say my mother has been doing research and luckily we have family that live in PR that can find us other local catering companies. When it is all said and done we hope to stay within $3,500 for food and will definitely update Wedding Wire in a separate forum when I find affordable catering for brides looking in Puerto Rico!

$2100 on food from Zoe's Kitchen (and chick fil a nuggets for the kids) and $1400 on beer, wine, cider, "champagne" toast, lemonade, water, and sodas

2k for 90 people.
Red beans n rice, yams w/ cinnamon, Mexican corn bread, vegetable tray, fruit tray, spinach dip. 💩 We are vegetarians and live near the swamps so that's the best we could do.

@$3000 for 80 people. . Smoked ribs,smoked chicken, beef brisket, corn pudding, baked beans, green beans, iced tea, lemonade, 3 appetizer platters- cheese and crackers, fruit, veggies and dip. Desserts include wedding cake, cupcakes, macarons, mini cheesecakes and cookies .@$425 for desserts. Assorted bottled sodas by Boylans and water $200. Total $3625, about $45 a person

I was pleasantly surprised! It's always interesting to me to see how much things costs elsewhere. Happy to be in my area right about now! Lol!

I would be requesting those Chik Fil a nuggets YUMMMMMM!

We paid for two food trucks for 4 full hours $15 per person/ we had 113 people in attendance. This included 4 servers (2 from each truck) doing passed apps and small plates all night as well.

We are in NJ but got married right outside of Philadelphia.

View Quoted Comment I’d take the chick fil a nuggets lol

View Quoted Comment Yes! When I look at the cost of certain wedding items I’m like okay I can’t complain. I’ve found catering as cheap as 9.50 a person. I know some areas that’s not possible

View Quoted Comment Smoked ribs sounds amazing.

We're paying $12.25 per person and were having baked mostaccioli, baked chicken, sweedish meatballs, mashed potatoes with gravy, mac and cheese, corn, mixed veggies, and then we can choose 6 different types of salads/sides (macaroni salad, potato salad, cole slaw, cottage cheese, veggie tray, etc) the food is delicious!

Ours is a steal! Not counting alcohol (through a different service) it's $74/person, fully gourmet, gluten free, and including the service fees and gratuity. Prepared on site and served plated.

Appetizers: Colorado Elk Sausage, Grilled Cheese and tomato soup shooters, caprese skewers, and stuffed shrimp

Salad: I can't remember details but there's apples, walnuts and gorgonzola

Dinner: Roasted Beef Sirloin with burgundy wine sauce or goat cheese stuffed chicken, breaded and baked. Sides: Twice baked potato with cheese and bacon. Agave roasted carrots

I'M LITERALLY SO PUMPED FOR THE FOOD. The best part! We are getting 2 trays of chicken nuggets (kids meal) delivered to our honeymoon suite for after the wedding! I'm going to enjoy chicken nuggets, an old fashioned, and a beautiful hot tub with my husband.

View Quoted Comment Who did you go through,

View Quoted Comment Who did you go through? Is it cheaper to go through a venue's approved caterer or an outside caterer at a BYO food venue?

View Quoted Comment

Sadly, our venue does not offer in-house catering so we went with a preferred vendor of the venue. The company is called Triton Catering in NC.

View Quoted Comment That's what we were thinking of doing also. Was it more cost effective for you guys? Cause some of the quotes I'm getting are just as expensive
