19 caterers serving Brooklyn mention weddings on their own websites or business details.
Brooklyn weddings often take place in lofts, warehouses, rooftops and restaurants rather than traditional banquet halls. Raw spaces usually need the caterer to bring a full rental package and a back-of-house setup, which can add substantially to the quote.
Rough per-guest planning ranges for food and service, before service charge, tax, bar and rentals: buffet about $40 to $80, family style about $55 to $100, stations about $60 to $110, and plated about $65 to $150 or more. Brooklyn wedding catering commonly sits toward the upper end of national ranges, especially in raw venues. A tasting, cake cutting, vendor meals and staff overtime can each be separate lines.

As rough planning ranges, not quotes: a buffet commonly runs about $40 to $80 per guest, family style $55 to $100, stations $60 to $110, and a plated dinner $65 to $150 or more. Brooklyn wedding catering commonly sits toward the upper end of national ranges, especially in raw venues.
On top of that, expect a service charge (often around 18 to 24%), sales tax, bar service and rentals. Ask every caterer for the same guest count and service style so the totals are comparable.
Most full-service caterers offer some form of tasting, but the format varies: a private tasting for the couple, a group tasting night with other couples, or a sample box. It may be free, charged, or credited against your booking. Ask before you pay a deposit.
Commonly 9 to 12 months ahead, and earlier for peak dates. Peak timing in Brooklyn: May, June, September and October book first. Book the caterer soon after the venue, since the venue's caterer rules decide who you can hire. Final guest counts are usually due 1 to 3 weeks before the wedding.
Sometimes, so check line by line. A common rule of thumb is roughly one server per 10 to 15 guests for plated service and per 20 to 30 guests for a buffet, plus bartenders and a captain or event lead. Rentals (china, glassware, flatware, linens, tables) may be included, billed through a rental company, or supplied by the venue. In raw Brooklyn venues the rentals line can rival the food cost; ask for it separately and check what the space already owns. Also ask about cake cutting fees, vendor meals and overtime rates.
Each caterer on this page mentions this kind of event on its own website or in its business details. That is a sign they take the work, not a guarantee of availability, so confirm your date, guest count and service area with them directly.
Ask for food, staff and hours, rentals (plates, glassware, linens), cake cutting, bar service, delivery, service charge and tax as separate lines, and check what your venue already supplies.
2 of the 19 caterers listed in Brooklyn offer drop-off catering, where food arrives hot in disposable chafers with serving utensils and the caterer leaves.
