What catering at Sunstone Villa costs
$140–$195 PER GUEST
That covers food, staff, bar service, tax & fees for a 100-guest wedding at Sunstone Villa — 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.
A real Sunstone Villa event
We catered a plated dinner for 80 guests here. At that size and style, food, staffing, service and tax come to about $12,634 — roughly $158 per guest, before bar service.
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
Sunstone Villa takes a complete field kitchen, and that equipment is rented too — ovens, a range, racks and pans on top of the tabletop order. Once bar service and linens are in, plan on the full-service end.
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.
