How much does wedding catering cost with Tastefully Yours?
Buffets start at $35 per person, food stations at $45, and plated dinners at $70. Across the DFW market, wedding catering typically runs $45–$70 per guest for food alone, and $70–$150 all-in depending on service style. Weddings don’t carry a premium with us; the same starting prices apply to every occasion, and there’s no guest minimum. See our
pricing page and instant estimator for the full picture.
What's included in your wedding catering packages?
Delivery, professional service staff, and setup and breakdown are included in our per-person prices. Plated dinners also include china place settings; for buffets and stations, china and other rentals are available as add-ons. Tax and gratuity are additional. Your written proposal spells out exactly what your package covers.
Do you do menu tastings?
Yes. Before you finalize your menu we host a tasting so you can sample your selections and adjust anything; the menu you approve is the menu your guests get.
How far in advance should we book our wedding caterer?
Three to six months ahead is ideal, especially for spring and fall Saturdays. Have a shorter runway? Call us; we’ll help you figure out what’s possible for your date.
Do you require a deposit to hold our wedding date?
Yes; your date isn’t confirmed until we receive it. A non-refundable deposit of 50% of your estimated total secures the date and is credited toward your final balance, which is due 14 days before the event based on your guaranteed guest count. If you cancel more than 90 days out, there are no fees beyond the deposit; between 89 and 31 days out, 75% of the estimated total is retained; within 14 days of the event, no refunds are issued. Your signed agreement is the full, binding version.
Should we choose plated, buffet, or food stations?
Plated feels the most formal and costs the most (more kitchen prep and more service staff per guest). Buffets are the budget-friendly crowd-pleaser. Stations sit in between, great for mingling receptions. We compare them in depth in our
plated vs. buffet vs. stations guide.
Can you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
Tell us about allergies and dietary needs during planning. Menus are custom, and we build vegetarian, gluten-conscious, and allergy-aware options into the plan rather than bolting them on.
Do you provide bar service?
For bar and beverage service we work with Shaker Bar & Bev, a dedicated bar-service company; ask us and we’ll connect you. In-house, our menus include handcrafted non-alcoholic signature drinks.
Which venues and areas do you serve?
All of Dallas–Fort Worth: Southlake, Dallas, Fort Worth, and about two dozen surrounding communities; see the full
service area list. We’re happy to work venues we haven’t met yet; we’ll coordinate the walk-through.
What do your couples say afterward?
That the food got talked about for years, the staff stayed a step ahead all night, and the planning was the easy part. Read them yourself on our
reviews page.
