Add up how much of the total you can spend. Consider going for free food if you can, but also, don't make the extra money into a piggy bank for some themed dinner portions. You may end up making a lot less money for a buffet than you think. In this case, spend it wisely on food. Think about the type of appetizers you'd be serving to get your budget right. For instance, you may want to serve appetizers at 9 pm, while you may want to serve salads and pasta as appetizers. The remaining 85% is what you will have to actually spend. The extra 15% allows you some extra money for unexpected costs and things like taxes, tips, and potential emergencies.
