Budget estimate

$15,000 – $45,000

Based on typical catering rates for event receptions (approximately $30‑$60 per person) and assuming each of the nine receptions serves 100 guests, the total contract value could range from roughly $150,000 to $540,000. However, the unique setting aboard historic ships may reduce guest capacity and increase logistics costs, so a more conservative estimate of $15,000‑$45,000 for the entire three‑day scope is reasonable. Factors influencing the estimate include number of attendees per reception, menu complexity, staffing levels, and required waste removal.
