Event Catering FAQ
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about event catering at Opulence Entertainment Group:
How much does professional event catering generally go for in Miami?

Opulence Entertainment Group delivers transparent, itemized quotes once we understand your event.
What's the difference between station-style and butler-style event catering?
Self-serve catering formats allow attendees the ability to select their own portions and graze throughout the evening — great for large groups. Formal seated dining, by contrast, creates a more structured atmosphere in which courses is served individually. Both approaches have specific uses depending on the tone you're setting.

Reserving in advance also allow our chefs ample opportunity to develop your service experience.
