Did you count every guest in the late night stack stations?

I had asked the catering manager at our venue what their recommendation was for the number for the late night snack. He said 50%. So we did. We had probably 75% of guests still there when the snack came out and there was enough food for everyone!

I would recommend ordering snack for no less than 50% but no more than 75%.

I believe people say to only have food for about 50-75% of the total guest count... Many older guests will leave once the cake has been cut and the dancing starts. Also some guests getting home to kids/babysitters etc...

You should be able to select how many guests to serve a late night snack for... either per guest or per dozen items.

We were told to round to about half of the total guest count (50 people). I think late night stacks is a great idea if its affordable! however, not many people are hungry after 4 courses... just want to drink! Good luck!

Late night service was included in the cost and accounted for every person. 3 out of 4 options were taken into account rather than having more food. Sandwiches, fruits and veggies instead of more dessert being served.

Every caterer we spoke with said to plan for 50-60% of your guests, maximum, to stay for late lunch and eat.

We are giving them a smaller estimate for a head count for the late lunch. The venue is aware not everyone will stick around that late or want to eat something so we will have 160 for dinner and probably do around 110-120 for the late lunch

Some venues for us offered to do the late night station at an extra cost per person ( so we could order for 100 even tho 200 were attending) but they always suggested to avoid under serving. Late night stations are popular and if you order for your full amount of guests they ensure you dont run out. If you only order for a percent of guests theres no guarante
