Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?

I'm a great cook and taking a stab at catering a small wedding of 60. It's going to be mexican food, rice beans, enchiladas, carnitas, fruit salad, flan, a mexican ceasar, and maybe tamales. What would you charge per a person. It's buffet also.Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?
i would do it for $15-$20 per person. mexican food is generally pretty cheap. think about when you go to a mexican restaurant. it's never $30 for a meal!
This is a hard question to answer and one that you need to look at in light of many different factors. How much will the food cost per serving? What else will you need in order to cater this wedding? (serving trays, utensils, etc.) Will you be including a fee for your attendance at the wedding to ensure food is served as it should be? There are many factors to look at before a "per person" charge can be assessed. i think you should sit down and budget a lot of these factors and that should give you a reasonable answer. Per-Person fees can range anywhere from $6 for a small appetizer party to $100 and above for a full dinner.Caterers... how much would you charge for a wedding (per a person)...?
Wow! Good Luck!!



Typically buffets are less expensive than served meals, but I would say you have alot of work cut out for you. I would first make a plan. Scope your your supplies and figure out how much the food will cost just to buy it! Then look at how much the supplies are going to be to prepare the food (if special things are required). I would then figure out about how much work and preparation it would take for you to prepare each course. If you yourself are going to do it or if you are going to have to pay for people to help you. All of these things you should consider when charging the entire cost.



For me to put a dollar amount on the actual meal is hard. I would guess you could probably do... between 25 and 30 per plate. And that's just a guess! It would depend on the ingredients that you would use.



Call around to other local caterers and check their pricing. Not ask them what they would charge, but give them what you want and see if they could give you an estimate and you could ballpark yours around theres.



I hope this helps!! Good Luck sounds yummy!! :)
well you want to be paid to figure out how much food you will need and tripple it say each person will eat or be given 10 dollars each of food charge 30.



but just enchaladas flan rice fruit salad i would say about 25.00 will cover it all very non expensive foods you can also ask her she can buy all the food and you will charge 100 dollars to cook it all up on that day
Figure out how much it actually costs you to make all that; then figure out how long it'll take you to make it and approximate how much your time is worth; figure out the cost of serving trays and delivery costs, attendants for the buffet lines, etc.; and add it all up to get a base cost. Then add some extra so you actually make a profit.
$15-$20 per person, all of that food is pretty cheap to make and is not that difficult. I don't think anyone would pay more than that for that kind of a menu anyways.
How many servers do you have? Does it include bar? Does it include linens and plates...silverware... cost of food?
20 - 25 per person... assuming you will have some finger food snacks as well. Chips and dips, cheese and crackers...
