Lucia Romano has catered weddings, corporate events, and backyard parties for eighteen years, from plated dinners for three hundred to drop-off trays for a Tuesday board meeting. She knows what drives a per-person price, where the hidden fees hide, and why the cheapest quote often skips staffing or rentals. The guides here lead with real numbers and real questions to ask, not with a glossy menu and a vague estimate.
She built CateringDirectory.app for both sides of the table. Hosts get straight answers on what catering costs, how the styles differ, and how to vet a caterer. Working caterers get a free directory listing so local clients can find them instead of a faceless marketplace that takes a cut.
