ISO: Help! Need help calculating cost of reception food

Misc.
Please help me! I am having a light afternoon wedding reception for 150 people, and need to know rough quantities. Two different caterers have given me vastly different approximations on the same items. I am not sure which person to choose. I plan on serving the following items: fruit tray, vegetable tray, cheese tray, meat tray, and wedding cake. How do I approximate the # of pieces of cheese/meat etc. for each person (and make sure that the caterer is being honest about needed portions)?
Thank you so much!
