Austin, Texas

Catering

In Austin: Central Texas barbecue is a legitimate reception format here, not a shortcut, and it often costs less per head than a plated dinner while feeding a crowd better. If that is the direction you want, ask the vendors on the list what a full-service barbecue package looks like -- staffing, chafing dishes, sides, cleanup -- because a drop-off order and a served meal are different products at different prices. On any format, read the quote for what is on top of the per-head number: a service charge in the low twenties percent plus state sales tax on top adds real money to the bottom line. For an outdoor summer wedding, confirm ice supply and non-alcoholic options explicitly; guests dehydrate faster than they realize in this heat, and running out of water at four in the afternoon is a mistake you cannot undo once it happens.
