Oh my goodness, there are so many variables involved in answering your question about catering costs! It would be hard to even suggest a dollar amount because of everything that's involved, starting with the menu. And usually you're told in advance what your budget is for an event, which guides your planning and spending.
Some catering companies will provide everything; others will charge extra for travel time, set up and breakdown. Again, not knowing if you're in a large urban area or at a a rural area, this is hard to answer.
This also applies to finding and reserving a space for an event. Sounds like your options are not numerous. In AZ, if you want a large space, you need to plan far ahead (like as much as a year or even longer, depending on time of year and size of group and desired space/location). Our alumnae group has already booked a location for our annual Founders Day luncheon for the next two years. We did that last January. The good places are taken fast.
Realized that I know way more than I ever thought I'd know about event/party planning, just in thinking over responses to this thread. Another awesome benefit of sorority membership!
