Full-Service Caterers in Minnesota

Before You Book

1. What is the price per guest, and what exactly does it include?
2. Can you send a sample invoice for our guest count with every fee, tax and service charge?
3. Do you hold a food permit or license and liability insurance? Can our venue get a certificate of insurance?
4. How do you handle allergies and vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or kosher meals?
5. When is the final headcount due, and can it change after that?

• Ask every caterer for a quote on the same menu and guest count so you compare like with like.
• Service charges of 18–25% plus sales tax are common; they are not the same as a tip.
• Weekday and daytime events are often cheaper than Saturday nights.
