How much do caterers charge per party?

Answer 1

The cost will depend on how many people you are entertaining and how much food and service you will need. Expect to pay a considerable amount though. For a small group, $500 is a good baseline, going up if the gathering is larger.

Answer 2

It should be approximately 1/3 of what you charge for the services.

Answer 3

Generally they charge 3x the costs of the food. So think about what kind of food you want, prices, etc. and you should get a round-about number of what it should cost.

Answer 4

Depends on what is being served. Generally it is the food cost multiplied by 3.
