  where is your reception? lots of venues have rules and regulations about using a caterer who is licensed. I would be really nervous about doing the food myself for this reason!  perhaps you could find a local restaurant who would be able to provide a buffet? Around here, Qdoba buffets are really reasonably priced and quite tasty for the price!

  Could the caterer make something to fit your budget?

  Yikes!  A lot of restaurants cater, and when I was looking, they seemed a lot more affordable than caterers, because they don't tack on a fee for everything and anything.  I'd start there if you can't work out something with the caterer.
  
  I was debating DIY'ing the food for our wedding (that is until the guest list got out of control).  I was thinking of doing a pasta buffet with a few different types of pasta (spaghetti, penne, bowtie), a few different sauces (tomato, pesto, alfredo), and possibly even a couple pans of lasagna.  FI teaches at a university, so we were thinking of asking a few of the more dependable students to manage it.

  Try looking into an Italian restaurant and do a pasta/lasagna buffet.  You can do salad and bread for the side and the prices are very reasonable for large groups of people. Good luck!
