How To Cut Your Wedding Catering Bill Cost

Maybe you’ve got the details of the actual wedding ceremony worked out, but what about the reception? One of the major costs of the wedding reception will definitely be the food, so you’ll want to make sure you’ll have enough food for everyone without spending too much money.

Here are some top ways to reduce the costs of catering for your wedding event.

Don’t order more food than you need. While most people want to order an extra plate of this and an extra plate of that (which is typically a good idea) use your discretion so you don't end up with extra food at the end and a higher price tag. Also, ordering many plates of the same food will most of the time allow you to save money, as caterer's are known to give discounts for multiple food orders. The more diverse you make the menu, the more expensive it will be. So keep it classy but simple at your wedding.

A lot of caterer's will actually encourage you to order more food than you will need. If you already have four plates of appetizers, you probably don't need that five-course meal. Also, if you have a decent size wedding cake you can probably hold off on the dessert part of the menu as well.

Pay attention to the types of food you order. Some foods that you order will always be expensive no matter how little you order. Use your intuition and decide if you really need the extra luxuries, especially because you are already ordering so much food. For example, seafood tends to be expensive so instead of using it for a main course order some appetizers that have it included.

Have food stations. Food stations are a unique way to serve guests at a wedding and also ensures that your guests will find exactly what they want. Food stations that offer a variety of pastas and mix-ins are very classy and popular, as well as easy on the wallet.

You may also be able to cut your catering bill by not requesting an elaborate setup for your food stations and tables. Using a single color for tablecloths, usually white, will cut down on labor costs. To add more color to your reception decorations, you may want to add elaborate centerpieces, so that you can spend as much as you need to on the meals for the reception.
