Inexpensive but GOOD caterers and Mandolas??

Hi ladies!  Anyone have any catering recommendations?  I've read a few times how inexpensive Zio's is so I will definitely be looking into them but does anyone have any other recommendations?  Can you please include pricing information?

Depending on price we're also considering doing a cocktail reception with hor's dourves, deserts, and alcohol so any recommendations for those would be helpful too!

So far all I've heard for liquor is Mandola's.  They sound like a great deal but I havent gotten a chance to call them yet (all businesses should really have a website these days!).  Do they include cups, ice, etc?  Do they also provide servers?  What about a portable bar?

TIA!

    I'm not sure what you mean by inexpensive, but our catering budget was $6000 for 110 people.  We used CityView Catering and they came in at about $6100 for 4 appetizer choices, a duet entree choice (we did a chicken and a beef), 2 sides, rolls, water, and tea.  They also did a vegetarian option and kid's meal for us.  We did buffet style service with 4 servers, linens, and silverware/glassware included.  I can't speak to their bar pricing since our venue let us bring in our own alcohol.

    Hope that helps you!  Good luck!

    Yes, I've used them and so has my sister in law. They include everything (cups, ice, mixers, lemons, limes). They don't provide the service, but maybe they have a recommendation. Our portable bar we rented from our venue. We saved a ton by using them!

    Hi, KYPHILLY!  Do you mind sharing how much you are paying per person?  Does she have a website?  I tried to google her but a few different options came up.

    Thanks!!
