Ofte stillede spørgsmål
How much does a wedding catering cost?
A typical wedding catering package runs roughly €4,500–€26,157 depending on market and tier. In an average European city a couple spends around €14,036. US prices trend higher in absolute terms but include mandatory sales tax and service charge.
What drives the price of a wedding catering?
Three-Course Dinner: per person pricing. Canapes (Cocktail Hour): per person pricing. City cost multipliers then scale everything up or down relative to the national baseline.
Is a wedding catering worth the money?
It depends on your priorities. Couples who flag it as essential typically get more value by paying market rate than by cutting corners. Linden's engine scores every line item against your stated priorities and flags the tradeoffs.
How can I save on a wedding catering?
Switch from plated to family-style or buffet service (lower staffing ratio), drop a course, trim the canapé count to 4 per guest, and ask for a fixed drinks package with house wine instead of an open bar — that single swap usually saves 15–25% on beverages. Linden shows you exactly where each lever saves on your specific budget.
