North Carolina caterers typically charge $34 to $47 per guest, with the full market range running from $20 to $135 per guest. Because premium and luxury caterers rarely publish prices and require direct inquiry, vendors with listed pricing skew toward the budget end, meaning the true market average is likely higher than these figures suggest.
