Jacksonville, Florida

Catering

In Jacksonville: Seafood-forward menus are a legitimate reception format here at meaningfully lower cost than the same idea in a coastal metro further south, and low-country Southern is the second working format that scales well for larger guest counts. Do the math on the full quote, not the per-plate line: Florida sales tax applies to catering, and a service charge of twenty to twenty-two percent plus tax adds close to a quarter to the number on the page. Ask specifically whether the service charge is gratuity, an operational fee, or split — and whether tax is calculated on the food only or on food plus service. If your venue has an approved-caterer list, confirm the list is current; some downtown historic properties and the beaches venues change theirs annually. For outdoor beach and riverfront receptions, ask how the caterer handles heat, humidity, wind, and the walk from staging to the guest tables — coastal service is not the same as ballroom service. A tasting scheduled three to four months out is worth more than one done a year ahead.
