Plated meal is slightly more. The largest share of your cost will go towards the service. We can controle the portions on the food better, and your guests don't get to choose what they eat the day of. With Buffet you are paying mostly for the food. The guests have ample opportunity to choose what they eat and how much. Our suggestion is always put your money in the food. It is your day, however, so we do offer plated options.
