Event Catering Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions we hear about event catering at Opulence Entertainment Group:
How much does full-service event catering generally go for in Miami?
Catering service rates range significantly based on guest count, the type of food and drink service you choose, and staffing requirements. Generally speaking, professional event catering in Miami ranges from a per-head price that accounts for ingredients, bar management, and team hours. Opulence Entertainment Group delivers detailed pricing proposals after the initial consultation.
What's the difference between station-style and plated dinner event catering?
Buffet and station setups offer people the ability to build their plates and graze throughout the evening — great for less formal occasions.

In general, we recommend confirming your date with us at least 6–8 weeks in advance. For larger events — especially during Miami's busy event season — booking 3–6 months out gives us time to fully prepare. Securing your date sooner also give our team ample opportunity to refine your catering plan.
