Choose based on your EVENT.
Plated and buffet dinners create two very different guest experiences, and cost is only one piece of the decision.
A plated meal offers structured table service, while a buffet gives guests more freedom to choose what and how much they'd like. Depending on your menu, guest count, staffing, and timeline, either option could make more sense.
The best choice is the one that works for the way you want your event to flow.
