How to Save More on Wedding Catering
Here are some handy tips to help you stay within budget without compromising on quality:
Pick a buffet or finger food style – Lower staffing costs
Book your wedding in the off-season – Venues and caterers are often cheaper
Keep your guest list small and meaningful – Focus on those who matter most
Choose a package deal – Catering + decoration + space in one
Limit your drink options – Serve a few signature cocktails or soft drinks instead of a full bar.
What Makes Food Feel Elegant?
Even simple food can feel fancy when it’s:
Well-presented – Nice plates, good arrangement, clean look

Served nicely – Friendly staff makes a big difference
