A QUICK PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (and a homage to one of your most important vendors):
We are seeing a lot of clients and potential clients who are experiencing extreme sticker shock when looking for caterers.
And often try and opt for “cheaper options”.
The quote you are looking at isn’t just the cost to feed your guests. It includes the CRITICAL SERVICE STAFF NEEDED to make sure your day runs smoothly.
This job is no joke — it’s physically demanding, fast-paced, and requires laser focus.
For a 100-person wedding, you’ll typically need 8–12 servers minimum to make everything flow smoothly. That’s a whole team juggling setup, service, timing, and tear-down… all while smiling.
JUST A FEW OF THE THINGS THEY HANDLE:
➡️ Setting + resetting tables, chairs, linens
➡️ Serving food + drinks with precision timing
➡️ Managing allergies + special requests
➡️ Keeping the space clean + clutter-free
➡️ Cutting + serving your cake
➡️ Packing leftovers for your late-night munchies
You’re not just paying for dinner — you’re paying for an orchestra of effort that makes the magic happen.
