What Charlotte Wedding Catering Really Costs

Catering is typically the largest line item in your Charlotte wedding budget after the venue. Most couples spend between $5,000 and $15,000 on food and beverage for 100-150 guests. Buffet-style service saves 15-25% compared to plated dinners.

Pro tip: Many Charlotte caterers offer tasting sessions for booked clients. Ask about seasonal menu options—local sourcing in spring and fall can elevate your menu while keeping costs manageable.
