10 Best Catering Companies in Winnipeg

Are you in the process of planning your own special event in Winnipeg? From small parties to corporate events and large weddings we’ve got you covered.
But first we thought that you might be interested in knowing the average catering cost in Winnipeg:

  • Buffet style: can range from $20-$50 per person.
  • Three-course meal: average $50 per person.
  • Weddings: average price per person is roughly $70

However, this is just an estimate and you should contact a catering company directly to get a more accurate quote.

Factors that affect catering cost

1. Type of event: For example, a wedding or corporate event may require more elaborate catering options than a small family gathering.

2. Number of guests: More guests will decrease the cost per person.

3. Menu selection: For example, high-end cuisine or specialty drinks can cost more than standard options.

4. Service level: For instance, if you need full-service catering with servers and bartenders, this will likely cost more than a simple drop-off catering service.

5. Location: If the venue is in a high-cost area, such as a major city, this can increase the overall cost of catering.

6. Time of day: For example, breakfast catering may be less expensive than dinner catering.

How do I choose a catering company?

When choosing a catering company, it’s important to consider factors such as their experience, reputation, menu options, pricing, and service quality. Look for reviews and testimonials from previous clients, and ask for references. You can also request a tasting to sample their food and presentation.

How far in advance should I book a caterer?

It’s recommended to book a caterer as early as possible, especially for popular dates and venues. Some caterers require a minimum lead time of several weeks or months, depending on the scope of the event. It’s best to reach out to potential caterers at least 3-6 months before the event date to ensure availability and avoid last-minute stress.
