Which Catering Format Fits Your Jupiter Gathering
The number of guests decides the format. Two guests fit a private chef, trays work for any size from two trays, 25 guests and up fit full service with a staff team, and from 50 guests you can choose a wedding package. Each step has its own minimum, so the table shows what the gathering looks like and what it starts at.
| Guests | Format | What happens at your home | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 or more | Private chef | A chef cooks dinner in your kitchen, groceries included. A chef's assistant joins from 12 guests and servers from 20 | $100 a guest |
| Any size | Trays | Platters arrive ready to set on your table, two trays minimum | $65–95 a tray |
| 25 or more | Full-service catering | A staff team cooks, serves and cleans up for four hours. Under 50 guests, add $10 a guest | $45 a guest |
| 50 or more | Wedding packages | Silver, Gold and Platinum, planned with a coordinator | $75, $95 or $125 a guest |
Prices are per guest, trays per tray, before the service charge and tax. A private chef costs up to $300+ a guest depending on the menu. An event with staff carries a service charge of 18% up to 100 guests, and it covers staff, setup, breakdown and kitchen operations. It is not a tip, and tips are optional. Caviar and wagyu on a chef menu cost extra.
