Catering

In Orange County: Read a catering quote here in two passes: once for the per-person number, and once for what sits beneath it — staffing, the service charge, tax, and a venue minimum that often does more to set your real total than the menu does. Kitchen access is the other local variable. A number of Orange County's most photographed sites, especially older estate venues and coastal bluff locations, have no working kitchen on site, so a caterer working from a mobile kitchen or a tent prices differently than one working from a range, and that difference belongs in the quote you compare. The vendors listed run from the inland cities through the coast, so a Laguna Beach or Dana Point wedding does not require hiring in the city you're marrying in. Ask specifically what happens if your site has a hard load-in time or a shared parking lot with another event that day — coastal venues here often do.
