Pricing

What catering at Cabrillo Pavilion costs

$140–$195 PER GUEST

That covers food, staff, bar service, tax & fees for a 100-guest wedding at Cabrillo Pavilion — buffet with beer & wine at the low end, plated with a full bar at the high end. A real range, not a teaser rate: yours moves with your service style, your bar package and your guest count, and rentals are priced separately, below.

Rentals, quoted separately

Tables, linens, plates and glassware come from a rental house, so they sit outside the figures above. Per guest, typical from our 2024–2026 orders:

  • $9–$14Plates, flatware and glassware
  • $20–$25The tabletop, plus a bar
  • $45–$60A full-service build

Cabrillo Pavilion has a kitchen on site, so there’s no build-out to rent — orders here start at the tabletop end, plus glassware if you’re adding a bar.

We’re glad to coordinate rentals for you, or you or your planner can — either way we start with a preliminary rental pull, so you’re budgeting the whole event and not just the catering.
