About Wedding Catering
Whilst lots of wedding venues will include wedding food catering in their packages, you may opt for a dry-hire venue where you need to bring in your own wedding catering, or you might discuss with your venue the possibility of bringing in outside caterers for your wedding if there’s a particular cuisine you want served.
We have over a thousand wedding catering businesses listed on Hitched - you’ll easily be able to find delicious wedding catering near you to suit your wedding style!
How Much Does Catering Cost at a Wedding
The cost of wedding catering is going to depend on a few factors - namely, how many guests you need to cater for, and what kind of catering you want. A lobster per guest will get pretty pricey, however you have more budget-friendly wedding catering options, such as food trucks.
Food trucks are a great option if you’re looking for a fun wedding catering idea for your evening reception - you can offer your guests excellent drunk food like wood-fired pizza, loaded burgers or even tacos and burritos. Hiring wedding catering - even for your evening reception - is a great way to add some more personality to your wedding, by offering your guests the chance to indulge in your favourite foods as they party.
Wedding Food Catering on a Budget
If you’re on a tight budget but still want to provide fun wedding catering for your guests from an outside catering firm, have a chat with a few of the ones you like and see what they say. If you are only providing outside catering for your evening reception, you won’t need to cater to all your guests, for a start. Some will still be full from the wedding breakfast, and some of your evening guests will have eaten before they arrive! Chat to your chosen wedding caterers for their rule of thumb - they’ll tell you how many people you need to cater for you and you can save money in your wedding budget that way!
