PLANNING YOUR PARTY
The following outline is designed to help you with making menu selections for your upcoming catered event. The recommended guidelines can be adjusted to suit your individual needs. All of our menu items can be mixed and matched to suit your tastes and the season.
A general rule for appetizer parties would be 5 to 8 menu items. If you are planning a buffet or sit down meal, then 3 to 4 guests per pound for entrees and 4 to 5 guests per pound for side items is the normal amount that we would suggest.
