I'll have more examples coming soon, look below!! The possibilities are almost endless for buffet type dinners. From a backyard tent set up, to the Elk's Club Lodge, to a sterling silver display aboard your boat, anything is possible!

Here's some more ideas for buffet friendly foods: Beef Stroganoff w/ Noodles, Oriental Pepper Steak w/Rice, Baked Macaroni & Sausage Casserole (Italian), Chicken Parmesan/Pasta, Scallops w Tomato Sauce and Spinach Noodles, Stuffed Shells, Chicken Piccata, Baked Ham or Turkey meals, Roast Pork w/ Raspberry Sauce and Garlic-Rosemary Potato's, Chicken in a Mushroom-Wine Sauce (wedding favorite!), Spicy Chicken Breasts w/ Peanut Sauce, Seafood Newberg, Baked Fish Casserole, Shrimp Creole, Veal Marsala, and plenty more! Hope this sparks your imagination as to the types of foods suited for this type of entertaining!

NOTE:

Prices listed above only include food preparation, delivery, and set up. This is to give you a bottom price to start from. These prices assume you have tables set and ready for the party, and that no servers are needed. A lot of times large groups such as church's, lodges, etc. assign serving, decorating, and clean up help to volunteers within their organization. This will save a good deal of money!

I can provide any additional servers, dishwashers, etc. that you may need. Prices are $16 hr. for the first person, and $11 hr. for each additional helper. One person can generally handle about 20 people at a buffet.

As soon as I get the information, I will provide additional pricing guides to some of the other items usually needed at some point or another in these types of events. Items such as tables, chairs, linens, tents, upscale serving dish's, etc.
