Help with catering(Masterpiece Cuisine)

meyerse

For the ladies who have used caterers, how many apps did you get/person? My mom and I have been discusing how much food is needed and we have way different opinions on this... I wanted to use Masterpiece Cuisine: We were going to get 9 apps/2 pieces/person Caprese Kabobs Teriyaki Chicken Satay Gourmet Mini Sliders Crab Stuffed Mushroom Caps Mini Assorted Deep Dish Pizza Puffs Shrimp Cocktail Display Classic Fruit Platter Traditional Farm Fresh Crudites Ultimate Sushi Display We are having 60 ppl and I don't want anyone to still be hungry after the food is gone. Any input would be great! Thanks for your help

Here is what I was using as a guide:12 pieces per person times the number of people divided by the number of different appetizers. so based on your figures= (12*60)/9= 80 pieces of each appetizer, so your figure would be fineI wonder if you might be better off serving less choices and more pieces.  I know the pizza and sliders were a hit with my group and people were apt to grab more than two of those than somethign else.MC is really good at telling you exactly how much food you will be needing for your party.  I would trust their numbes.

we gave our numbers to m.c., our budget and our possible suggestions and preferred appetizers. scott was more than nice in giving us a couple of options to work with and giving my FI input on bringing down the cost, feedback on which appetizers might be suitable, etc.

We also just told Scott the guest count and our budget and he worked with it.  We had food left over after the reception, I am glad I brought zip lock bags for the left overs.  You will have plenty of food.
