We have just booked out DD's christening and joint first birthday party. We expect to have approximately 60 adult guests and 30 children, ranging from 1 to 12.
We have been quoted £12.50 per head for a cold buffet with mainly finger food. The food items sound perfect but the price is just too much for us. Has anyone else catered for this sort of event and got a better deal?
The church service is at 10am. We cant get into the hall until 12 noon so us, guests, caterers, party entertainer etc will all be arriving at the same time so it means I think that us doing the catering ourselves will just not work (family and friends got together for my god-daughters christening but that was a 2.30pm serivce and again we could have access to the hall from 12 noon so slightly different circumstances)
Any ideas for how to proceed? Spending £1000 on catering is not an option.
TIA
