Straight answers about booking a caterer in New Zealand — what it costs, when to book, and what to look for.
Wedding catering in New Zealand typically costs $80–$180 per head for a sit-down meal, or $50–$120 for a buffet or grazing style. Costs vary by menu complexity, service style and whether the venue provides kitchen facilities.
Book 6–12 months ahead, especially for peak season. Many venue-exclusive caterers book with the venue, so check whether your venue has a preferred or in-house caterer before looking independently.
