Plated dinner service is traditionally the most popular catering style for formal events in which your guests remain seated while their meal is served individually by our wait staff. You can either select protein options for all of your guests or ask them to make a choice of their entrée at the time they RSVP. Our culinary team plates your food just before it gets served. Plated service is very personal, making it a favorite for formal affairs. Call us today for complimentary consultation in answering your questions.

    Catering in Miami | Weddings, Corporate Events & BBQ | Rivera Events

     

    Fresh, elegant catering for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations across South Florida. Menus starting at $30 per person.

    Elegant Catering for Every Miami Event

    Rivera Events has been catering weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations across South Florida for over 20 years. Our kitchen, our staff, and our service travel to your venue, home, or office anywhere in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Every event we cater is built on the same foundation: fresh food, prepared with care, served by a professional team that treats your guests the way you would.

    We focus on three signature catering offerings. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or a large-scale corporate event, one of these three fits.

    What's Included in Every Catering Service

    Every event Rivera Events caters includes fresh food prepared and served by our team, professional chefs and service staff, and all the equipment needed to run the event beautifully: chafing dishes, serving pieces, buffet setups, and food stations. Plates, napkins, and utensils come standard. Our team handles setup and breakdown from start to finish, and we coordinate directly with your venue and event timeline so nothing gets missed.

     

    All service is available in English and Spanish.

    How It Works

    Pricing

    Our catering starts at $30 per person. Final pricing depends on the menu, service style, guest count, and staffing your event requires. Every quote is transparent and built specifically for your event.

     

    Because we customize every menu, we do not publish set pricing. A short conversation is the fastest way to give you a real number for your specific date, guest count, and vision.

    Buffet Catering Style

    Buffet style is a popular option for weddings, corporate events and social gatherings with large guests attendance. Even though it is a less formal option than a plated dinner service, your guests will have the opportunity to select their preference of food from the selection chosen from the buffet while allowing them to consider their dietary preferences and a chance to socialize while customizing their meal. Typically, multiple chafing dishes are set up on a long table with décor and guests are served by our waitstaff creating a catered presentation.
