Wedding menus can be seated, buffet or chef action stations, finished with late-night snacks such as a build-your-own French fry and tater tot bar.
Pasadena estates, Malibu ranches, Palos Verdes bluffs and downtown lofts often have an exclusive caterer or a short approved list, and some charge a fee to bring in anyone else. Before you fall for a menu, ask the venue which caterers it allows and what it needs from them: insurance, a kitchen walkthrough, fixed load-in times.
Venue first, caterer soon after. Popular caterers fill spring and fall Saturdays months ahead. Once you have a date and a rough guest count, request proposals, narrow the field to two or three, and schedule tastings.
A tasting is your chance to judge the food and the people. Bring the person whose opinion matters most, try the dishes you are really considering, and ask about portion size and how each dish will be served on the night. Ask who will run your wedding, and whether you can meet them.
Fall is peak wedding season in LA, and fall is when the Santa Ana winds blow. Gusts tip sneeze guards and blow out chafer fuel, and a September heat wave can push valley afternoons past 100. Ask where the caterer sets up its kitchen tent, how it keeps food safe in heat and wind, and what changes on a red flag warning day, when some venues prohibit open flame.
A full-service wedding caterer usually provides the food, the serving staff and a captain, and often the bar, rentals and cake cutting. Some include the late-night snack and meals for your photographer and band. Some charge for each. A line-by-line proposal shows you where the money goes.
After the venue, catering is usually the biggest line in a Los Angeles wedding budget. The Knot's 2025 Real Weddings Study put the national average at about $80 per guest, and LA quotes often run higher.
| What | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Buffet, food and service | $60 to $120 per guest |
| Family style or stations | $75 to $150 per guest |
| Plated dinner | $90 to $200 per guest |
| Bar service, if added | $35 to $75 per guest |
| Service charge | 18 to 22 percent |
Rentals, the bar, vendor meals, cake cutting, a late-night snack and the service charge are often priced apart from the menu. In California a required service charge, or a gratuity agreed in advance, is taxable, so sales tax applies to it as well as to the food.
For comparison only: Marbled LA's event menus run $24, $48 and $70 per guest, with passed appetizers from $15 per guest, plus delivery from $150 per drop, $2.50 per guest for disposables and a 15 percent service charge.
These are typical Los Angeles market ranges drawn from public price lists and cost guides, not quotes. Every caterer prices its own menus, so ask each one for a written quote.
Often one to three weeks before the wedding. Check the deadline in your contract and whether the count can still move after it.
Some run it with their own licensed bartenders. Some only staff it while you supply the drinks, and some leave it to a separate bar company. Ask early, because it changes the budget.
It is customary for vendors who work through dinner, such as the photographer, videographer, planner and band or DJ. Many caterers offer a lower-priced vendor meal.
Plated dinners need the most servers. Buffets and stations need fewer. Your caterer should propose a staffing plan for your guest count and venue.
