Frequently Asked Questions
Check answers to common questions about choosing and working with LGBTQ+ friendly wedding companies.
How to choose a wedding catering company?
To choose a wedding catering team you have to decide on the style of your wedding, determine your budget, ask your venue for suggestions, and read online reviews. Start searching early to ensure availability. Ask your wedding planner for referrals.
How much does wedding catering cost?
Catering can easily be ⅓ of the total wedding costs. Most couples spend between $1,800 and $7,000 on catering, which greatly depends on the number of guests on your guest list. Most caterers will include alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as part of their packages. The average cost per person for a wedding in the United States is $40 for a plated meal and $27 for a buffet. Adding an open bar typically ups the cost by $15 per person.
How much to tip a wedding caterer?
If your contract doesn’t include gratuity, you should tip 15 to 20 percent of the total bill. Another way to tip is by offering $50 to $100 for each chef and $20 to $50 per server.
How to save on catering for a wedding?
To beat the average cost of wedding catering you can book special offer rates, go for budget-friendly foods, and opt for a weekday. You can skip the plated full-service dinner to save money, you can also go casual for cocktail hour.
