Most caterers quote per head with a minimum guest number, so a small event can cost more per person than a large one. Ask what the quote covers, because staff, crockery hire, service and clearing are sometimes separate lines. Kitchen access matters too, since some menus need on-site cooking facilities and others arrive finished.
Of the 42 suppliers listed here, 38 are based in the United States. The other 4 are willing to travel there.

Caterers in the United States cover everything from drinks receptions and finger buffets to full sit-down service for a wedding breakfast. Most work to a set menu agreed in advance, with tastings offered on larger bookings, and handle sourcing, preparation, service and clearing.
Plated service suits formal seating and fixed timings, but it needs more staff. Buffets and grazing tables cost less per head and let guests move around, which works better for standing receptions. Food stations sit between the two. Guest numbers, venue layout and how long you want people at the table are what decide it.
Rates per head in the United States range from $100 to $1,500+, with most bookings around $500. A finger buffet sits at the lower end and a multi-course plated menu at the upper. Staff numbers, whether the venue has a working kitchen, and travel beyond a set radius all add to the figure.
The average price is $500 (USD), with most priced from $100 to $1,500+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.
