Our caterer is in MN and they charge per plate or per person. The great thing about these guys is that they advertise all their prices for all their menus right online.

So if you need to compare some prices - try our Minnesota Caterer, UDE Catering

Ms. J who did you use in Atlanta? Sounds like a great price!

The average couple spends 21% of their total budget on catering - so this can be the bulk of your wedding costs! The size of your guest list is a huge factor when it comes to your catering bill - so it's better to think of your quote in terms of dollars per head.

For local pricing look through the WW vendor search for local catering companies!

I have a question. If im paying for all of the food for my wedding, providing all of the dinner ware, everything. But, I wanted to hire a company to just prepare and serve the food for approximately 80 guest. Is $2700 a bit on the high end? We are providing everything. But, we are asking them to do some of the decorations (setup). Help!!!!!

Where was this?

I'd also like to know!

Who was your caterer?

This is from nearly 5 years ago. Good luck getting a response but the poster is probably no longer here.

Thanks, I'm quite aware.
