I'd have to go look for the notes on the feast at home, but to be honest, because Phlip helped me by finding my meat source "on the hoof" and butchering it for free, the price ended up being much cheaper than store-bought. It was enough that I could service four, full, HUGE courses to about 200 (attendees, staff, and head table) for far less than I ever thought possible. 

My caffiene-deprived brain says that the whole of the feast cost me ~900$US, and with the exception of the meat, I wasn't incredibly careful about the prices. Don't quote me on that price. But it's close. I think the ticket cost was roughly 10$US and the feast was mostly sold out before. My budget was 1600$US.
