<p>With the economy going the way&#8217;s been going, the cost of a wedding is deffinately a concern. I have been in business long enough to understand this major expense in someone&#8217;s life.</p>
<p><strong><em>HOTEL WEDDINGS</em></strong></p>
<p>To me the hotels are all outdated. The same 20 year old carpet and 10 year old chandellier. The service staff gets paid based on minimum wage plus a precentage of the gratuities. That sometimes add up to not much, therefore high turnover. The food: subpar to say the least. I have friends that work in hotels ( some are 4 star properties on thge beach) and know first hand that their catering sales team <strong>SELLS SPACE, NOT FOOD, NOR SERVICE</strong>&#8230;lol. It is actually great news for me ( off premise caterer). This is what keeps us in business. Pricing: a chicken dinner with a full bar starts at about $90 and goes all the way up to $500 or even more per person&#8230;Love this too, my <a title="ALL INCLUSIVE WEDDING PACKAGES" href="http://cateringmiami.org/about/" target="_self">ALL INCLUSIVE WEDDING PACKAGES</a> start at $49.95 and do not go over $100.00. Love it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>COUNTRY CLUB WEDDINGS</em></strong></p>
<p>Very similar to the hotels, I used to work in a country club in Fort Lauderdale ( no names here). Much better food and service, but very pricey. Not much more to say other than you are locked in to use the in house band/dj, florist, decorator, which majority of the brides didn&#8217;t necessarily liked.</p>
<p><strong>OFF PREMISE WEDDINGS</strong></p>
<p>The advantages of having an offsite wedding:</p>
<p><strong>Unique Venue</strong>. Plenty to choose from, whether is <strong>Miami Dade, Broward or Palm Beach Counties</strong></p>
<p><strong>Great Food</strong>. My chefs are formaly trained by masters chefs in France, italy&#8230;great work ethics and attention to detail. I can proudly say that I have <strong>top 5 chefs in Florida.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Great Service</strong>. My key employees have been with me for at least 5 years, some even more. My staff does not get paid minimum wage and actually support entire families with their earnings.</p>
<p><strong>Customer Service.</strong> We pride ourselves in getting back to clients within 24 hours, sometimes even faster. Our sales team is reachable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We often deal with clients that are overseas and getting a call in the middle of night has become a normal occurence.</p>
<p><strong>Custom Everything.</strong> Since no 2 brides are alike, no 2 parties should be the same either. We will create a custom wedding FOR YOU based on your specific taste and budget.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong>. We offer graet value. I am very confident in saying that based on our services we are very reasonable and most importantly, honest. I price everythingh myself and always get exactly what you pay for and then some.</p>
<p>Now, what is a wedding gotta cost in Miami?</p>
<p>On average, couples that live in <strong>Coral Gables, FL 33134</strong> spend between <strong>$48,649 and $81,082</strong> for their <strong>wedding</strong>. This does not include cost for a honeymoon or engagement ring. This is valid for a hotel wedding, nothing to brag about.</p>
<p>On average, couples that live in <strong>Delray Beach, FL 33444</strong> spend between <strong>$24,478 and $40,796</strong> for their wedding. This does not include cost for a honeymoon or engagement ring. Same as above, in a hotel wedding, nothing fancy.</p>
<p>On average, couples that live in <strong>Coral Springs, FL 33076</strong> spend between <strong>$23,713 and $39,521</strong> for their wedding. This does not include cost for a honeymoon or engagement ring.</p>
<p>On average, couples that live in <strong>West Palm Beach, FL 33414</strong> spend between <strong>$30,138 and $50,230</strong> for their wedding. This does not include cost for a honeymoon or engagement ring.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These numbers are really scary in today&#8217;s economy. I can do a fabulous wedding in a private venue for less than half. That with better food, better service, better everything.</p>
<p>Whether is <strong>Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Boca Raton or West Palm Beach</strong>, I would love the opportunity to plan your wedding from scratch and make it as special as <strong>YOU</strong> want it to be. All custom, specially tailored for your taste.</p>
<p>If you have a venue in mind and just need a <strong>catering service</strong> that would deliver 110%, I would still love to work with you.</p>
<p>For a variety of reasons, I chose not to show sample menus online. Competition reads up on my blogs and I would much rather keep my recipees and ideas for my true clients&#8230;lol.</p>
