Wedding Catering FAQs

How much does wedding catering cost in Tennessee?

On average, couples in Tennessee spend $40–$85 per guest for catering, depending on the style of service, menu selections, and guest count. Buffets and food stations are typically more affordable than plated dinners. At Southern Fig Events, we help brides customize packages that fit both budget and vision.

What’s the best style of catering for a wedding reception?

The best catering style depends on your wedding vibe. A plated dinner offers elegance and structure, a buffet gives guests variety and flexibility, and food stations create a fun, interactive feel. We work with brides to choose the style that matches their celebration.

How far in advance should I book my wedding caterer?

Most brides book their caterer 9–12 months before the wedding. Popular dates book quickly, especially during spring and fall in Tennessee. Booking early ensures you get your preferred menu, service style, and catering team.

Can wedding caterers handle dietary restrictions?

Yes—professional caterers can provide gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or allergy-friendly meals with advance notice. At Southern Fig Events, we create inclusive menus so every guest enjoys a delicious dining experience.

Do I need a late-night snack at my wedding?

Late-night snacks are optional but highly recommended. After hours of dancing, guests love a small bite like sliders, French fries, or pizza. It’s a memorable way to keep the celebration going.

Do caterers provide everything, like linens and servers?

It depends on the catering package. Some caterers include linens, china, flatware, glassware, and servers, while others focus on food only. Southern Fig Events offers full-service catering so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors.
