- Meat selection. Chicken is cheapest; lamb and halaal meat cost most.
- Menu. Each extra side, starter or dessert adds per person.
- Staff. Served buffets and plated meals need more people.
- Equipment. Tables, linen, warmers and gazebos may be extra.
- Travel and venue. Farm venues outside the city add per-km charges.
- Serving requirements. Set serving times and multiple sittings take more staff.
- Crockery and cutlery. Included by some, hired per person by others.
- Season. November and December Saturdays book out and discounts are rare.
