Getting married in Belgium
Wedding catering in Belgium: quotes and costs
Compare the whole service: food, drinks, staff, equipment and hours. Reception, dinner and evening guest counts often differ. Work out those numbers before requesting quotes.

Check the venue first
Ask whether the venue requires its own caterer, offers a shortlist or lets you choose freely. Check kitchen access, power, refrigeration, setup and cleaning. A food truck needs different facilities from a seated dinner. See wedding venues.
A published example, not a wedding budget
The 2025 sample brochure from BelgoBon lists a buffet from €47 per guest. That base item alone is €3,760 for 80 guests, €4,700 for 100 and €7,050 for 150. Drinks, service and equipment appear separately. Request a current, itemised VAT-inclusive quote; these are not full wedding totals.
What the quote should cover
Record menu, service hours, drinks, minimum numbers, children’s prices, supplier meals, rentals and travel. Ask when the final headcount is due and how reductions affect the bill. Put the deposit and balance separately in your wedding budget in Belgium.
Tasting and dietary needs
Arrange a tasting and ask its cost. Discuss vegetarian choices, allergies and how dishes will be identified. Share only necessary dietary information with the caterer and confirm final quantities in writing.
