Hey all
I need some pricing advice for a wedding I'm being asked to give a quote on. This is a wedding for 150 guests, and they would like Full Service catering. I still have more details to get, but they are looking to do Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Chicken for meats, and sides: Baked Beans, Coleslaw, Creamed Corn and Cornbread. So quite a bit of food. The client is also asking if I can do a selection of appetizers in addition, so may be even more!
Anyway, I'm newish to catering and so far have only done delivery gigs, and no weddings, so I'm wondering what you all charge per person for something like that?
I know the whole, multiply your costs by 3, but I'm also new and trying to be competitive, and on top of that the price of food has gone up quite a bit since that rule has been around, while the cost of preparing is about the same, so it doesn't seem like its a fair assessment.
