    What is your idea of cheap?

    We were going to use Culinary Creations until we switched venues.

    I'd just use the grocery store.  Gonna taste about the same. 

    Cutting the head count may be an viable option.

    Yes, what do you consider cheap?  And are you tied to Wilmington or can you go a little farther out?  Also, your wedding is June 2012?  That is well over a year away. You have plenty of time.  The worst thing you can do is rush into something and be stuck down the road. Take your time and do lots of research to make sure you have the right caterer for you.

    I used Courthouse Caffe out of Jacksonville.  Chef Renee is amazing and really made our money stretch. I highly recommend them.

    We are using Pine Valley.  Christi is awesome and I thought it was well priced for what we are getting.

    Sonny Parker Chicken and BBQ... super cheap.  It's who I am using, but its' def more laid-back style.  I've heard of alot of people using Harris Teeter and places like that lately too.

    We catered everything ourself. BJ's and Sam's had everything we needed. For 65 people = 200-350 ish (I cant completely remember).

    Then again, we had a 2pm ceremony and had light sandwiches, fruit, crackers, pinwheels and some other stuff food wise. We had wedding cake (did NOT do that myself. ..) cookies and pie (DH favorite).

    Afterwards, we had all of our family members over at our house and ate whatever was left over from the reception, plus pizza and more pie :)

    But like PP said, you've got a while to go. Do lots of research and get the best bang for your buck. Don't lock yourself in yet though unless you're completely 100% satisfied.

    I'm using Linda from Special Events Catering. I think she is out of Jacksonville which isnt far from Wilmington. She is pretty reasonable and we are getting lots of food.

    I'm from Jacksonville  :)  We have a lot of people coming out of town, but we are inviting 200 people so I am definitely hiring some outside catering. I was thinking maybe Middle of the Island?? But also, Courthouse Cafe does catering? I love Courthouse Cafe!!! 

    Cheap would be anything under $25 a head

    THyme Savor Catering! I am using them and Danielle is very nice and helpful. She has my menu for 300 guests at $25 a head. Middle of the Island, however is cheaper and if you want really cheap.... we are using Caeys BBQ (country buffet) for the dinner rehearsal because we wanted sountern food, they are about $8 a head.
