Meeting planners appreciate that their dollars stretch further in Wichita, from hotel rates and meeting spaces at a range of price points to catering that won’t bust your budget.

As the largest city in Kansas, Wichita has a variety of catering options. Whether you choose a meeting space with on-site catering or one with an open catering policy, you will have the flexibility to select menus to meet your budget. From restaurants with catering divisions to full-service hotels to standalone corporate caterers, you will find well-prepared food for any taste and budget: barbecue and deli options to ethnic foods ranging from Italian to Mexican or our local specialty, Mediterranean.

Among 1,200 diverse Wichita restaurants — many of which offer catering — is the option to have a food truck bring food to your attendees. Among the favorites are The Brown Box Bakery, The Flying Stove or Freddy’s Food Truck, the mobile version of Wichita-based chain Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers.

In addition to catering operations at Wichita hotels with meeting spaces, full service caterers such as Culinary Catering and Premier Food Service, Inc. provide a choice of service options to match the budget and style of your event, from drop off or buffet to standard, deluxe and premium service levels.

There are also non-hotel meeting venues that operate as caterers. For example, Olive Tree Banquets & Catering offers on-site or off-site catering with completely customizable menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.

Don’t be afraid to ask your Wichita caterer for budget-friendly tips and strategies. They’ll have menu and service options that will ensure a professional experience while keeping catering costs on budget.
