How Much Does Catering Cost Per Person?
Catering costs $15-100+ per person depending on event type and service level. Casual BBQ buffets run $15-25/person. Corporate events average $30-50/person. Wedding receptions cost $45-100/person with full plated service.
Ways to Save on Catering
Choose buffet over plated service to save 30-40%. Limit the bar to beer and wine. Book during off-peak times (lunch vs dinner, weekday vs weekend). Consider food trucks for casual events at 40-50% less than traditional catering.
