Event Catering FAQ
The following are some of the most common questions we hear about event catering at Opulence Entertainment Group:
How much does full-service event catering usually run in Miami?
Catering service rates depend on several factors based on headcount and format, the type of food and drink service you choose, and the number of service hours. As a rough benchmark, professional event catering in Miami starts at a per-head price that includes ingredients, bar management, and team hours. Our team offers detailed pricing proposals once we understand your event.
What's the difference between station-style and plated dinner event catering?
Self-serve catering formats allow attendees the freedom to select their own portions and move at their own pace — well-suited to large groups. Formal seated dining, on the other hand, creates a more structured event flow where each guest is served individually. All service styles have their place depending on your event style.
How far in advance should I reserve event catering for my event?
For most events, we recommend reserving your catering services no less than 6 weeks in advance. When it comes to weddings or corporate galas — most notably around summer and fall event periods — reserving your spot even earlier ensures availability. Securing your date sooner also allow our chefs greater flexibility to develop your menu and bar program.
Can your catering staff handle allergy considerations for guests?
Yes, without question. We routinely accommodates a wide range of dietary restrictions — such as gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian needs. At the menu design stage, we'll ask a full list of restrictions to make certain every guest can enjoy the meal fully.
Do you supply bar equipment and glassware with your event catering packages?
Our comprehensive event catering programs cover everything needed for bar service as included in the service plan. The bartending crew shows up ready to go with all supplies to operate a polished bar service start to finish. When your event calls for specialty bar equipment, just let us know.
