I've been asked to cater the entire reception for a small wedding (less than 100)

All I've ever done was the cake's and set up,

I'm willing to give it a try though.

What have ya'll served, and how is it priced? I would provide all the tableware, everything.

It depends, what kind of reception are they wanting: full meal table service, full meal buffet, heavy hors d'oeuvres, light hors d'oeuvres? Also, what time of day is the reception: morning (brunch), lunch, early afternoon, later afternoon, early evening, late evening?

If you haven't made food for 100 before, say NO. You need experience and experienced help to serve 100.

If you are doing the cake, how will you find time to prepare food for 100, set the tables, rent the linens, flatware glasses, serving dishes, hire helpers to serve and remove plates.
