Wedding caterers

A catering proposal is more than a menu. In San Miguel, these teams publish different combinations of food, bar service, rentals, staffing and event planning. Compare quotes against the same guest count, venue and service hours so the differences are visible.

Our profile notes use each business's published information, not a tasting or client interview. Check the venue's catering rules first, then ask each team for a written service plan and an itemized price.

Local planning notes

What to compare in a catering quote

Included services

Compare food, bar, staff, tableware, glassware, furniture and cleanup separately. Ask for service hours and the overtime rate.

Kitchen at the venue

Confirm the kitchen, water, power and loading access with the venue. Ask the caterer for its setup and breakdown plan for that property.

Menu and service

Ask when the final menu is set, how many tastings the proposal includes and how meals for guests with dietary needs will be served.

Frequently asked questions

What should a wedding catering quote include?

Ask for the menu and portion plan, staff roles and hours, bar service, rentals, transport, setup, cleanup, taxes and any overtime rate. A low food price can become a different total once those items are added.

Can we bring an outside caterer to our venue?

Ask the venue before requesting catering proposals. Some properties require in-house food service or approved vendors. If outside catering is allowed, confirm kitchen access, power, water, loading times and who removes waste.

How should we compare tastings and dietary options?

Ask when the tasting happens, how many people may attend and whether the final menu can change afterward. Share dietary needs with the caterer in writing and ask how those meals will be identified and served.
