How plated dinner service works

Plated service is the most polished way to dine: guests are seated, and our staff serves each course to the table. It sets the tone for weddings, galas, and formal corporate dinners.

What is included: - A planned menu of salad or starter, entree, and dessert courses - Servers who bring each course to seated guests - Coordination with your venue and timeline so courses land on cue - Entree choice or a duet plate, plus options for dietary needs

Plated dinners need a firmer headcount and a venue with seating and a service flow, and they carry more staffing than a buffet, which is reflected in the per-guest price. We will walk the menu and the timeline with you at the tasting and build a custom quote.

Frequently asked questions

Can guests choose their entree for a plated dinner?
Yes. We can offer an entree choice collected with your RSVPs, or serve a duet plate so every guest gets a bit of two proteins.
Is plated service more expensive than a buffet?
Usually, because plated dinners need more servers and a tighter timeline. We will show you the difference at the tasting so you can choose what fits.
How much does plated dinner catering cost in San Antonio?
Pricing is per guest and depends on your menu, courses, and staffing. Book a tasting and we will build a custom quote.
