Catering varies — not just by menu, but by service style, staffing, and event type. Most events fall into ranges:

Typical catering price ranges:

  • Buffets: $14–$20+ per person
  • Plated meals: $22–$35+ per person
  • Hors d’oeuvres: $12–$18+ per person
  • Stations: $18–$30+ per person
  • Breakfast/Brunch: $10–$18+ per person

These numbers help with planning, but your actual quote will depend on your choices.
