The given information is

125 guests

Appetizers and a buffet dinner will be offered.

Appetizers: $9.20

Buffet: $18.30

Sit down dinner: $25.75

Hall: $250

Linens: $15 per table

Table and chair rental (seats 8) : $60 per table

From the given information, there will be

(125 people) / (8 seats per table) = 15.625 = > 16 tables.

The cost of renting tables and chairs = 16*60 = $960.00

Appetizers for 125 people will cost 125*9.20 = $1150.00

Buffet for 125 people will cost 125*18.30 = $2,287.50

The cost for the hall = $250.00

The cost for linens = (16 tables) * ($15 per table) = $240.00

Total cost, before taxes, is

960.00 + 1150.00 + 2287.50 + 250.00 + 240.00 = $4,857.50

Answer: $4,857.50
