Cost Effective Catering in Los Angeles

Hi Knotties -- Is $200 a head crazy or is it just me?

I realize this is LA, but we aren't made of money and we aren't trying to stage some elaborate show. Can anyone recommend a service that would provide food (buffet or family style), staff and stuff like tables, chairs, linens, dishes etc for a reasonable price? We have about 75-100 guests and would like to keep our total cost for the entire event at or around 50-70 a head.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

    Check out Jay's Catering.  they are based out of Garden Grove.  I saw their wedding packages and it looks like the lowest that they do, per head, buffett style, is 45 a head.  I am going to a tasting at the Ebell Club on Long Beach (also potential venue for us) on 2/18 to taste the food.  But a friend of mind used them and she said they were really good.

    East Side Marios is very reasonably priced.  I have been to a few weddings that they catered for and their food was awesome...FI and I decided to book them for our caterer because the food was soo good.
    We couldnt believe how reasonably priced it is!!  Check project wedding dot com also ESM has great reviews on there. oh, and they don't only have italian food. =]

    Would that be for food or food+alcohol? I'm paying $103 per person for my reception venue, valet parking, passed apps for cocktail hour, a 3 course dinner, beer, wine, well drinks, tax and service. So it IS possible!

    One of my favorite catering companies is Border Grill catering. They have menues starting at $36/pp.

    You might want to try DJ's catering in Ventura.  They're very reasonable and their service is phenomenal.
