Virginia caterers typically charge $25 to $42 per guest, with some vendors reaching $160 per guest. Because premium and luxury caterers rarely publish pricing and require direct inquiry, the vendors represented here skew toward the more affordable end, meaning the true market average is likely higher than these figures suggest.
