Orlando & Central Florida, Florida

Catering

In Orlando & Central Florida: Caterers in this region concentrate in Orlando with single entries across the Space Coast in Cocoa and Palm Bay and one in Sanford — a spread wide enough that a beach reception in Cocoa Beach can usually be served by a caterer already in the area rather than a truck driving in from Orange County. Heat and humidity govern menu design more than trend does: raw seafood on a hot buffet is a food-safety problem here in a way it is not further north, and chilled service, covered stations, and a real staffing plan for outdoor summer receptions all cost more than a mid-spring cocktail hour indoors. A 100-guest reception here runs roughly $72 to $165 per person before service, staffing, tax, and any bar arrangement, so a five-figure catering line is the norm rather than the exception. Ask specifically whether service charge and Florida sales tax are inside or on top of the per-head number.
