Event Catering FAQ
The following are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about event catering at Opulence Entertainment Group:
How much does professional event catering usually run in Miami?
Pricing for event catering vary widely based on guest count, the scope of the menu, and the number of service hours. Generally speaking, full-service catering in Miami begins around a per-head price that accounts for ingredients, bar management, and team hours. We provide detailed pricing proposals once we understand your event.
What's the difference between self-serve and butler-style event catering?
Interactive food station models offer people the freedom to select their own portions and move at their own pace — well-suited to large groups. Plated dinner service, on the other hand, establishes a more elegant atmosphere where each guest is brought to the table. All service styles have specific uses depending on the tone you're setting.
How far in advance should I reserve event catering for a Miami event?
In general, we advise booking your event catering a minimum of two months in advance. For larger events — especially during Miami's busy event season — booking 3–6 months out is strongly recommended. Earlier bookings also give our team greater flexibility to develop your menu and bar program.
Can your catering staff accommodate special food requirements for guests?
Definitely. Our culinary team routinely accommodates all kinds of special dietary needs — such as nut-free, low-sodium, and plant-based requests. During the planning process, we'll ask information about your guests' dietary needs to ensure everyone at your event is well taken care of.
Do you supply cocktail equipment and service tools with your event catering packages?
Yes — our full-service event catering offerings include all bar essentials and supplies as a standard component of the service plan. The bartending crew arrives fully equipped with all supplies to run a professional bar service throughout the entire event. When your event calls for specialty bar equipment, just let us know.
