Event Catering Common Questions Answered
Here are some of the most common questions we hear about event catering services:
How much does full-service event catering typically cost in Miami?
Event catering costs vary widely based on the size of your event, the type of food and drink service you choose, and how long the event runs. For most events, full-service catering in Miami begins around a per-guest cost that accounts for culinary execution and hospitality. We provide detailed pricing proposals after the initial consultation.
What's the difference between self-serve and formal seated event catering?
Interactive food station models give guests the ability to build their plates and graze throughout the evening — great for less formal occasions. Formal seated dining, alternatively, creates a more structured dining experience in which courses is delivered on cue. Both approaches have specific uses depending on the tone you're setting.
How far in advance should I schedule event catering for a Miami event?
As a best practice, we suggest confirming your date with us at least 6–8 weeks in advance. For peak-season gatherings — most notably around Miami's busy event season — booking 3–6 months out is strongly recommended. Earlier bookings also give our team greater flexibility to develop your catering plan.
Can your catering staff accommodate dietary restrictions for guests?
Yes, without question. The chefs at Opulence Entertainment Group is well-practiced in handling all kinds of dietary restrictions — such as kosher, halal, and dairy-free requirements. When we build your menu, our team collects information about your guests' dietary needs to ensure everyone at your event is well taken care of.

Yes — our full-service event catering offerings cover all bar essentials and supplies as a standard component of the service plan.
