Catering at Lions Park

We catered a buffet dinner for 130 guests here. At that size and style, food, staffing, service and tax come to about $15,799 — roughly $122 per guest, before bar service.

It sits below that range because the two measure different things: the range is a 100-guest wedding with bar service, and this one was 130 guests, before bar.

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

Lions Park 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.

Can All Purpose Flower cater a wedding at Lions Park?

Yes. Open catering — Lions Park lets you use whichever caterer you choose, and there’s a full commercial kitchen adjacent to the main room that we work from. We bring seasonal California menus and full coordination.

Is Lions Park the same as the Carpinteria Lions Club?

Yes — Lions Park and the Carpinteria Lions Club are the same place in Carpinteria. You'll see it written both ways; we've catered there under both names, so search either one and you're in the right spot.

Is there a kitchen at Lions Park?

Commercial kitchen on site, adjacent to the main room — two ovens, a grill, refrigeration, and ample counter space. We prepare and plate a full fine-dining experience right there.

How much does wedding catering at Lions Park cost?

Weddings at Lions Park typically run $140–$195 per guest for food, staff, bar service, tax & fees (based on a 100-guest wedding; rentals are quoted separately). Every Lions Park event is custom. Your total depends on guest count, menu style, and bar service. As a real reference, we catered a buffet dinner for 130 guests here — and Saturday events carry a $5,000 minimum. You can get an instant estimate in about two minutes.

Do you handle rentals, staffing, and the bar at Lions Park?

We manage the full catering side: menu, rentals, staffing, and a day-of captain. Lions Park runs its own bar with its own bartenders, as its alcohol licence requires, so beverage service is arranged through the venue rather than through us. We work alongside that arrangement, and we’ll build your food and service plan around it.
