The price depends on the number of dishes offered, ingredients, and portion sizes.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>2. Plated Meals<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cost per person:<\/strong> $20\u2013$60\r\nPlated meals are more formal, with each guest served individually. This style typically costs more due to additional labor and more elaborate menu options.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>3. Appetizer or Finger Food Catering<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Cost per person:<\/strong> $10\u2013$25\r\nFor cocktail parties or casual gatherings, offering light bites is a great choice.
