- Building Your Food and Bar Program — Using what we learn in the consultation, our chefs and bar managers develop a personalized menu and beverage program that reflects your taste and expected preferences.
- Food Tasting and Menu Confirmation — In most cases, we invite you to taste key menu items before confirming your choices. This stage ensures every dish is exactly right prior to service.
- Event-Day Staffing and Setup Planning — Once the menu is confirmed, we coordinate service teams aligned with your guest count. Timing, setup, and flow — including linen and tableware — are handled at this stage.
- Day-of Setup and Preparation — Staff shows up ahead of schedule to prepare kitchen stations and verify everything is ready before the first guest walks in.
- Live Event Service and Guest Hospitality — This is the moment the catering crew performs — moving across the event space professionally, serving courses and cocktails on time and with care.
- Post-Event Breakdown and Cleanup — When the event wraps up, the catering crew takes care of complete breakdown — breaking down stations and ensuring the area is left clean and clear so you don't have to.
Event Catering Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the top questions we hear about event catering services:
How much does full-service event catering usually run in Miami?
Pricing for event catering vary widely based on the size of your event, the scope of the menu, and the number of service hours. Generally speaking, full-service catering in Miami starts at a per-person rate that reflects the quality culinary execution and hospitality. Opulence Entertainment Group delivers detailed pricing proposals after the initial consultation.
What's the difference between buffet-style and formal seated event catering?
Self-serve catering formats offer people the flexibility to select their own portions and move at their own pace — ideal for casual or cocktail-style events.

Reserving in advance also give our team greater flexibility to refine your catering plan.
