Ladies,

I am currently interviewing caterers and some of these prices are nothing short of shocking. We are looking to have a plated dinner and passed appetizers but costs are moving towards $60/pp. What are you having and how much per person is it for you? This does not include alcohol because our venue is allowing us to bring in our own. I'm in Columbia if this helps. Thanks!

    Yeah. food is super expensive! We booked a wonderful caterer (in myrtle beach) who is only charging us $12pp (this includes all sorts of food...probably more than we need) which is an amazing price. But, when we talked to different caterers we thought that the prices were pretty crazy!

    Our venue charges $26.00 a person for a buffet and like $34.00 for a sit down.  That includes a fruit and cheese display but other apps are extra.

    Victoria - What caterer did you book?  Where are you having your reception?

    Food Prices can be outrageous!!!!  We were shocked at the different prices. We wanted to get married at Pine Lakes Country Club in Myrtle Beach, but it did not work for us.  The food price there was $48.00 per person.  We checked the Marriot in Myrtle Beach and they charge $55.00 per person.  The Hilton has a great menu and they offer apps for free.  If you get married on Friday or Sunday the price drops by $2500.00 We are getting married at the Cooper House in Myrtle Beach.  They are charging $13.00 per person. 

    Cayres, the Cooper House does outside catering.  You should check with them.

    I booked a caterer that most of my friends had when they got married. Her name is Jean Wood Brown. She is amazing!  And, I'm having my reception at the Peanut Warehouse in Conway.

    We had a plated dinner and it was $110 a head.  It included lamb, roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, vegetables, soup/salad and bread. 

    I also worked on the banquet team for Charleston Place and $60 a head doesn't sound unreasonale for a plated dinner, depending on what you're serving. 

    ETA:  We also had a cocktail hour with butler-passed hors d'oeuvres.
