That covers food, staff, bar service, tax & fees for a 100-guest wedding at Santa Barbara Historical Museum — 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
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.
