FAQ

These look high? +
Caterers traditionally over-prep by 10-15% to avoid running out. Adjust down if you know your guests well or it's a low-appetite crowd (cocktail hour before dinner = less appetizer demand).
Open bar amounts? +
Average is 2 drinks first hour, 1 drink each additional hour. Wedding crowd hits ~2 drinks/hour the whole event.
