They do, but it is widely considered right to tip vendors on your own. It is up to you, but if you are convincing a catering company to lower their price for you, I'd really suggest adequately tipping them. $600 is not worth the equipment costs, food costs, and payment to employees for most, I'd assume. I agree with Gris on looking into a food truck. I know MM is pretty strict, so it might not fly, but it sounds like a decent idea. It's quirky, which nowadays is the best way to pull off a low budget wedding. The movie sets pay for the food trucks to come out often, so I know it is something the trucks have experience with. And MM might be more lenient on the insurance if it is outdoors and not at risk for ruining antique pieces of furniture/the home. Remember, the reception is a thank you to your guests. Chances are, you'll rack up pretty well with gifts from each person. That's not even counting if your bride has had showers, parties, etc. where gifts were given. While I certainly don't think there's ANYTHING wrong with a simple, low-budget wedding... y'all rented out a decent venue in BR for 4 hours on a presumably a Friday/Saturday night that doesn't allow anything beyond real catering companies. I agree with Gris on a large dinner item with salad and bread. It actually looks more put together, in my opinion, than having jambalaya and meatballs and veggies all sharing a plate. And I think you could get a catering company to jump on board with delivering a big pot of pasta or jambalaya before you could get them to agree to a little variety for a lower cost.
