Caterers can certainly help but be aware that they plan for wild
parties, at least in my experience. When we catered our wedding
reception the caterer told us how much booze they were planning on and
our jaws dropped right to the floor. We cut that in half and still had
at least half of what they brought left over.

You know your guests - are they a thirsty crowd or more the sipping wine
type?
