// What buyers need

Treat venue logistics as part of the menu decision

The right package still needs an operational plan. These are the details that most often decide whether service feels smooth.

What the organizer needs

  • Written confirmation of the venue delivery window and loading route
  • A clear boundary between delivery/setup and any requested staffed service
  • Protein and dietary counts that align with the guest list
  • Enough buffet space, power or warming arrangements for the venue plan

Service and delivery plan

  • Confirm parking, elevators, security, loading time and the exact buffet location with the venue.
  • Standard service is hot delivery in catering trays with basic self-serve setup; staff, on-site cooking, equipment and teardown require separate confirmation.
  • For a formal dinner, ask the venue whether a delivered self-serve buffet suits its service rules before booking.

// Planning notes

What planners should know

  • Confirm the venue's delivery window, loading instructions, table space and on-site contact before approving the quote.
  • Choose a taco bar for an interactive meal or a mixed taco-and-bowl bar when guests need both options in one line.
  • Standard service is hot delivery with basic self-serve setup; staffing, on-site cooking and teardown must be discussed separately.

// Direct answer

La Rio's wedding catering starts at $13 per person for a Taco Bar, $14 per person for a Burrito Bowl Buffet and $15 per person for a Mixed Taco-and-Bowl Bar. The minimum is 10 guests; delivery, add-ons and 13% HST are separate.

// Request the quote

Give the catering team what they need

Before you request the quote

Confirm the event plan with your venue, then send the operational details in one request. Availability and final logistics are confirmed in writing.

Include these details

  • Event date and requested delivery time
  • Venue address, loading and access instructions
  • Guest count
  • Chosen buffet format
  • Protein and dietary quantities
  • Allergies and handling requirements
  • Whether disposables are required
  • Any staffing, equipment or teardown requirement

// Event planning context

How to choose the right wedding & engagement format

The best format depends on how guests will actually eat. If the room can support one coordinated serving window, a taco or bowl buffet usually gives the best mix of value and guest choice. If names, labels or staggered attendance matter more, individually packaged meals can be the better operational fit even when the event itself sounds buffet-friendly.

This is why the most useful quote requests include the date, address, guest count, dietary quantities and a short note about the room setup. Those details make it easier to confirm the right format before delivery, add-ons and HST are finalized in writing.
