Catering Trays vs. Full-Service Catering: Which Is Right for Your New Jersey Event?

When you're planning an event, one of the first questions to consider is how you want your food service handled. Do you simply need delicious food delivered for your guests? Or would you prefer a more complete catering experience with food setup and service?

At Fiesta Catering by Latin Port, we offer both catering trays and full-service catering, giving hosts flexibility based on their event, guest count, budget, and needs.

What Are Catering Trays?

Catering trays are a convenient choice when you want to provide great food for your guests while keeping the event setup simple.

Our catering menu includes a variety of options that can be combined to create a meal for your guests.

Catering trays can be a great choice for:

• Birthday parties

• Family gatherings

• Graduation celebrations

• Baby showers

• Office lunches

• Holiday gatherings

• Casual private events

• Community celebrations

They allow you to focus on your guests while we take care of preparing the food.

What Is Full-Service Catering?

For customers who want more assistance with their event, we offer full-service catering for $35 per person.

Our full-service catering includes:

• 3 proteins

• 5 sides/salads

• Food delivery

• Food setup with chafers and fuel

• Serving utensils

• Food maintenance to keep everything warm or cold

This option is particularly helpful when you are hosting a larger gathering or want a more complete catering experience.

Which Catering Option Should You Choose?

The right option depends on your event.

Choose Catering Trays If:

You already have your event space and setup handled and primarily need food for your guests. Catering trays can be a practical choice for smaller gatherings, casual celebrations, office events, and family parties.

Choose Full-Service Catering If:

You want additional assistance with food delivery, setup, serving equipment, and food maintenance.

Full-service catering can be especially helpful for weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate events, and larger celebrations where presentation and convenience are important.

Can the Menu Be Customized?

Yes. We understand that every event is different.

Your menu can be customized based on factors such as:

• Number of guests

• Type of event

• Preferred proteins

• Side dishes

• Dietary preferences

• Budget

• Level of service needed

If you're unsure which option is best, providing your event date, location, guest count, and general preferences is a great place to start.
