Cheap catering?

My total budget was supposed to be 5k, but after glancing at a couple of caterers I'm thinking I may have to bump that up a bit :-( Anyway, I'm looking for a buffet dinner for 100 people. I know that BBQ is often listed as a cheaper option, but we can't do that since I and several guests are vegetarian, and I really don't want to eat veggie burgers on my wedding day. My reception will be dry, so I'll only need basic beverages. I think $25-30pp is my budget limit, since there's usually a 20% service fee and (almost) 10% sales tax on top of that. Any suggestions?

    This is who I was going with until I found out my venue didn't allow outside food.  The ladies name is Pam Murphy.  Very nice and will work with any budget.  I have 150 and they were able to accommodate me for about 5k including alcohol and desserts.  She also can provide linens, silverware and the like.  HTH  Good luck.  Tell her Cat referred you.

    You may want to look into Mexican restaurants, some of them offer catering and can do a buffet of some sort with meat and non-meat options.
