Why this beats a directory

They come to you, already available

The whole number

Per-head food is only part of it. Ask for staff, hire, delivery and surcharges in the same quote so you're comparing like for like.

Dietaries handled properly

Vegan, gluten-free and allergy meals should be equivalent dishes, not an afterthought plate of vegetables.

One place to compare

Every quote, contact and note for your caterer sits in your wedding portal, next to the rest of your suppliers — so you can compare like for like instead of digging through your inbox.

  5. 05What are the public holiday or Sunday surcharges?

FAQs

Wedding caterers: common questions

How much does wedding catering cost per person in Australia?

Most couples land between $90 and $220 per head depending on service style and inclusions. Cocktail-style catering is usually cheaper than a seated three-course meal.

Can we bring our own caterer to a venue?

Only if the venue allows it. Many have a preferred supplier list or in-house kitchen. Ask before you fall in love with a caterer.

Do caterers supply drinks and staff?

Often, but not always, and RSA-certified bar staff are usually quoted separately. Get it in writing.
