Once you have submitted those details, we’ll reach out to you to review your event details, share an initial estimate or answer any questions you might have for us!
What does full service include?
Our full-service packages include staffing for the transport, setup, food and beverage services, replenishment and cleanup of all catering-related areas before, during, and after your event. Our goal is to relieve you of the many details that go along with hosting a successful party so that both you and your guests can thoroughly enjoy this special event.
The Buffalo Catering Co. has many trusted years of experience both managing and executing events throughout the WNY area. We take pride in thoroughly reviewing all day-of details with our clients in advance to ensure your event is set up and executed to our high standards. Our event staff labor will always be identified on your catering estimate and final order.
What is included in the administrative fee for a full service event?
Our administrative fee covers all the back-end costs that go into the planning and preparation of an event aside from the ordered food, beverages and event staff labor.
The administrative fee does not include event staff gratuity, as we prefer to leave that option up to the discretion of our event hosts. A gratuity of any amount is never expected by our event staff, but is always appreciated if a host chooses to include that.
I’m interested in booking your catering services for my upcoming event but am unsure of my menu selections. Do you offer menu tastings?
After preparing your initial catering estimate or order, we would be happy to provide a tasting to help finalize any menu selections for your upcoming event. Our custom menu tastings are held in our catering kitchen and include (3) entrees + (3) side dishes. Menu tastings are prepared for (2) guests and cost at $40/person. That amount is to help cover food costs and our chef’s time. Payment for the tasting is due at the time of tasting. If you choose to book The Buffalo Catering Co. for your event, that amount will be deducted from the final catering bill.
