How to Choose

Set your budget first — Multiply your guest count by your target per-plate price to get your catering budget
Match the vibe — A casual Hill Country wedding calls for different food than a downtown ballroom reception
Book a tasting — Most Austin caterers offer complimentary tastings for two. Take advantage of this before committing
Ask about hidden costs — Service charges, gratuity, bar setup fees, and travel charges can add 15-25% to your quoted price
