Bronx Wedding Catering By Us

Bronx Wedding Catering Built Around Your Families and Your Venue

Bronx wedding catering is the food, bar, staff, and equipment for a wedding held in the borough, from cocktail hour through the last dance. Green Apple Catering & Events starts with a conversation about your budget and guest count, then builds the menu and service style around them.

How Much Does Wedding Catering in the Bronx Cost?

Bronx wedding catering cost depends on guest count, service style, and bar choice. For reference, buffet packages start at $36.95 per guest and bar packages at $12 per guest per hour. Your proposal lists every estimated charge up front.

Three Ways to Serve a Bronx Reception

Every wedding menu we build starts from one of three service styles, and you can mix dishes across all of them. Here's how they compare in practice.

Seated Dinner

Each guest gets a plated first course and entrée, served course by course. A sample from our menu is an heirloom tomato and basil caprese, followed by a rib-eye cap steak with roasted rosemary fingerlings, with heirloom tomato risotto as the vegetarian choice. Seated service suits formal halls and tight timelines, because every course lands at the same moment.

Family-Style Seated

The first course is plated, then the entrées and sides arrive on shared platters at every table, such as lamb rack and sirloin, roasted sea bass with Provençal herbs, and lemon-thyme fingerling potatoes. Here's the trick for big Bronx weddings: when platters go to every table at once, the whole room eats together. Nobody spends twenty minutes in a buffet line while the toasts start without them.

Reception Stations

Guests move between stations through the evening. Options include a ceviche bar, a mesquite grill with hand-carved skirt steak and chimichurri, and a tostada station with chicken, mahi-mahi, and skirt steak. Stations work best for longer receptions where dancing starts early. You can see full examples in our wedding catering menu samples.

Feeding Both Sides of the Family

A Bronx guest list can include grandparents who expect a real dinner, cousins who are vegetarian, friends who eat halal, and a dozen kids. A menu that works for half the room is the one the other half remembers.

So we plan the menu around the whole list. Green Apple holds halal certification, cooks kosher-style dishes on request, and labels every item for allergens. For couples who want a buffet, our build your own dinner buffet menu includes dishes like Cuban-style pork loin, paella Valencia, and peri peri chicken next to classic American options. Vegetarian guests get real entrées from our vegetarian catering NYC menu, not a plate of sides.

Planning the Bar

Here's something couples tend to learn late: the bar usually costs more per hour than any single food course, and it's the easiest line item to over-order. Our bar packages are priced per guest:

• Uptown Mocktail Lounge: a zero-proof bar with two signature mocktails, at $12 per guest per hour.
• Midtown Signature Bar: a classic full bar with premium spirits, wine, and craft beer, at $32 per guest for the first hour and $18 for each additional hour.
• Metro Luxe Bar: top-shelf spirits and custom cocktails, at $38 per guest for the first hour and $19 for each additional hour.
• Champagne toast: a flat $7 to $9 per guest.

All bartenders are TIPS-certified. If you're estimating quantities yourself, our guide on how to calculate alcohol needs walks through the math.

Your Wedding Catering Timeline

1. First conversation: Share your date, venue, guest count, and budget, and we'll suggest a service style.
2. Proposal: You get a written proposal with every estimated charge listed, including food, staff, rentals, and bar.
3. Tasting: Try the dishes you're considering. The tasting fee is credited to your account if you book with us.
4. Venue planning: We confirm load-in, kitchen access, power, and the venue's rules on open flames and end times.
5. Final details: Changes are accepted up to three days before the wedding, and the final guest count is due two days out.
6. Wedding day: An event captain runs the food and service timeline with your venue and planner.

Couples in the Bronx usually end up choosing between three options. A favorite neighborhood restaurant can send trays, but few have the servers, rentals, or timeline experience to run a 200-guest reception. A banquet hall with its own kitchen handles everything, as long as you marry in that hall. Green Apple follows you to whichever venue you pick and caters up to 3,000 guests, working to the DOHMH and HACCP standards our clients Amazon, Morgan Stanley, and Marriott Hotels rely on. The details that actually matter are the ones you never have to think about on the day. We also cater the events leading up to it, including bridal shower brunch catering, and couples marrying across the river can see our Brooklyn wedding catering.
