What is the average cost of catering a wedding per person in DC metro?

I'm planning my wedding around May/June of 2011. Obviously plenty of venues require their own caterers, but I was curious: What is the average cost per person for food catered at a wedding?What is the average cost of catering a wedding per person in DC metro?
Hi there,



It really depends on what type of catering you will need for your special day. I should also mention that my catering organization is in the Toronto/Canada area so prices may be a little different in the DC area, however, here's a basic guideline.



If you want to keep things simple and just have a buffet style meal, then you should budget in the range of $20-$25 pp



A full sit-down meal would be more in the range of $25-$35.



If you wanted to arrange for an all inclusive where the caterer provides all the settings, tables, decorations etc. then you should be budgeting around $60 - $100pp depending on how extravagant the layout.

Here is a website that outlines self catering vs outsource catering ideas and even includes a spreadsheet budgeting tool I found that may help you as well; (I did not use the budget spreadsheet myself so not sure how accurate it is but it may help with some basic budgeting guidelines)
