Event Catering Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the top questions we hear about event catering in Miami:
How much does expert event catering usually run in Miami?
Catering service rates depend on several factors based on guest count, the type of food and drink service you choose, and how long the event runs. As a rough benchmark, our service packages in Miami ranges from a per-person rate that includes culinary execution and hospitality. Our team offers clear cost breakdowns after the initial consultation.
What's the difference between station-style and butler-style event catering?
Buffet and station setups offer people the ability to choose what they eat and graze throughout the evening — ideal for less formal occasions. Formal seated dining, by contrast, establishes a more elegant atmosphere so that every dish is brought to the table. Both approaches have distinct advantages depending on the tone you're setting.
How far in advance should I book event catering for a Miami event?
As a best practice, we suggest confirming your date with us no less than 6 weeks in advance. For larger events — especially during Miami's busy event season — booking 3–6 months out is strongly recommended. Reserving in advance also allow our chefs greater flexibility to develop your catering plan.

Yes, without question. The chefs at Opulence Entertainment Group regularly works with a wide range of special dietary needs — including gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian requests. When we build your menu, we gather a full list of restrictions to guarantee every guest has great options.
