Hi guys,
I'm crunching numbers tonight for my favorite reception site so far, Kauffman Center. I have to use the in-house caterer there (Ararmark), and I'm expecting 300 guests.
The thing is, now that I've crunched numbers, the catering seems so expensive. It comes to $64/person when I factor appetizers, dinner and wine/beer bar. The wine/beer bar is $22.50/person. With that price along with the bartender fees, the beer/wine bar is actually a higher price in total than the plated entrees.
Am I crazy? Now that I've crunched these numbers, the catering just seems so expensive. I'm not sure if the $22.50/person for a wine/beer bar is typical?
I'd just like to hear some thoughts. Thank you!
