How much does wedding catering cost per guest in Beach City?

Buffet, plated, or stations — which works best for a Beach City wedding?
Buffet is the most flexible and usually the most affordable. Plated dinner reads more formal but adds 30 to 50 percent to labor cost. Action stations (carving, pasta, taco bar) split the difference — engaging like a buffet, premium feel like plated. Most Beach City caterers can quote all three for the same menu so you can compare.
Do Beach City wedding caterers handle dietary restrictions?
Yes — established caterers in Beach City routinely handle gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher-style, halal-style, and major allergies. Share the count and severity of each restriction at the tasting; some kitchens charge a small per-plate premium for specialty meals while others build it into the package. Get the dietary plan in writing in the contract.
When should I book a Beach City wedding caterer?
Book 9 to 12 months out for a peak-season Saturday (May through October). Top-tier Beach City caterers book peak Saturdays 12 to 18 months ahead. Off-season Saturdays (November through April excluding holidays) and Friday or Sunday weddings have more availability and sometimes 10 to 15 percent off package rates.
Who handles the alcohol — the caterer or the venue?
It depends on the venue's liquor license. Some Beach City venues require you to use their bar (no outside alcohol), others let the caterer or a bar service handle it, and a few are BYOB if you provide a licensed bartender. Bar minimums in Beach City range from $1,500 to $5,000 — sometimes separate from the venue fee. Ask the venue first, then plan around their policy.
