• How much does catering cost?

  The cost of catering in Milwaukee varies significantly, ranging from $30 to $140 per guest, and depends primarily on three factors:

  • Staffing. Staffing plays the biggest role in determining the cost of your catered event. Drop-off catering, which does not require on-site service, usually starts around $30/guest. While staffed events—with on-site chefs, servers, bartenders and more—usually start at around $50/guest. Our event designers can help you figure out the best type of catering for your event.
  • Service style and menu. Buffet-style catering requires fewer servers and is typically more affordable than plated meals or interactive stations, which both rely on full service staff. And like a restaurant, dishes like pasta and chicken are typically more budget-friendly than filet mignon or lobster.
  • Event date. The holidays, spring, summer, early fall, and Saturday’s are very popular—so book early if you know your dates! Off-peak days or times of year are great way to reduce costs while still including everything you want for event.

  At Zilli Hospitality Group, we believe our services should be available to as many people as possible—we’ll help you plan an event that fits your tastes and budget.
