Louisiana wedding caterers typically charge $37 to $60 per guest, with the full market range spanning $20 to $200 per guest.

About the Louisiana market
Louisiana prices weddings differently from every other state on this site, and reading its numbers without knowing that will mislead you. In and around New Orleans the dominant product is the all-inclusive reception house: a single per-person price that already contains the room, the food, the open bar, the DJ, the coordinator and often the cake. So a Louisiana venue figure is frequently most of a wedding, where a Maryland or Virginia venue figure is a room. That bundling is why the state's median reads high. It also produces the widest internal spread we have measured anywhere: a New Orleans venue costs close to three times a Lafayette one, on samples large enough to trust. Baton Rouge and the Northshore, both within about an hour of the city, are the value markets.
