Posted by: SERENITEA CATERING on July 22, 2008 at 7:15 PM - Permalink.. .. If you have 100 guests, 4 servers would be appropriate. This gives enough coverage for your guests to be served in a timely manner as well as water service and clean up.

Do you have a service fee other than your individual servers pays?.... .. .. Some companies charge for everything that goes into the cost of producing a wedding, we have one fee of $500 that covers everything from the cost of transportation, insurance coverage, and administrative costs, which means, fell free to email us or call with any questions any time you need assistance in getting all the details of your wedding in place to make it wonderful. We have very little overhead and do not believe that our company expenses should be passed on to our clients outside of the transportation and insurance. We believe that this fee is fairer to our clients than a percentage of the cost per person for the meal. We travel all over ..Western Washington.. for weddings and other special events, and with the cost of gas rising, we must charge this fee to provide you the client the best possible service. .. .. How much would it cost for a wedding of 100?.... .. .. Depending on the menu selections from $24.95 a person to $34.95 a person, estimating for both: .. .. 2 bartenders, 4 servers = $1,200, this covers all serving responsibility and clean up. We are at the event for an average of 8 10 hours, depending on the amount of time for the rental of the venue. .. .. 100 people at a menu of $24.95 a person = $2,495 + $1,200 for servers = $3,695 $500 Service fee = $4,195 .. .. 100 people at a menu of $29.95 a person = $2,995 + $1,200 for servers = $4,195 $500 Service fee = $4,695 .. .. 100 people at a menu of $34.95 a person = $3,495 + $1,200 for servers = $4,695 $500 Service fee = $5,195 .. ..
