Miami Plate Catering caters quinceañera receptions in Miami-Dade and across South Florida from $45 per guest, with a minimum of 25 guests.

A quinceañera runs on a schedule. A coordinator asks about five things before the quote:
- 01The guest count.Full service starts at 25 guests, and we prepare 10% more food than your headcount at no extra charge. We staff the event with about one team member for every 25 guests: a chef, an event coordinator, cooks and servers.
- 02The program.When guests arrive, when the family sits down to eat and when the speeches and dancing begin, and your coordinator plans the service schedule with you.
- 03The room.The hall, home or terrace you booked, its loading access, its kitchen if it has one and its rules for outside caterers. Delivery depends on your address and is shown in your quote.
- 04The dishes.The menu you have in mind, in your own words.
- 05The budget per guest.It guides the menu your coordinator suggests, and the quote shows the exact price per guest.

Quinceanera Catering Prices by Guest Count
Quinceañera catering starts at $45 per guest on our base tier, with a 25-guest minimum. The price comes before the service charge and sales tax, and your quote lists both as separate lines. The table shows how the guest count changes the price and the service charge.
| Guests | Price per guest | Service charge |
|---|---|---|
| 25 to 49 | From $45, plus $10 per guest | 18% |
| 50 to 100 | From $45 | 18% |
| 101 to 200 | Steps down by $2 per guest, your quote names the price | 15% |
| 201 to 300 | Steps down by $2 per guest, your quote names the price | 12% |
| Over 300 | Steps down by $2 per guest, your quote names the price | 10% |
The price drops $2 per guest at each step of 100, 200 and 300+ guests. Menus with a higher tier start at $60 and $78 per guest, and your coordinator names the tier that fits the dishes you choose. Four hours of service are included, and each extra hour is $5 per guest.
Example: 50 guests × $45 = $2,250 before the service charge and sales tax. The service charge covers staffing, setup and breakdown, and kitchen operations. It is not a tip. For prices by menu, see our catering menu and prices.
