With all due respect, most Knights of Columbus halls cannot compare with the quality of food of some caterers; it's really important to note that.
If we all wanted the cheapest alternative in any situation, we'd all be driving Saturns. Obviously, we are not. Your chicken Cordon Bleu was most likely frozen out of a box. As were your hors d'oeuvres.
I don't advocate throwing the most money available at a reception, but it is important to compare apples to apples.

I did all the flowers, decorations, and even the cake myself. I was out of work at the time, and did all I could to save my parents and myself some money.
We also used the Knights of Columbus hall. They charged only $2 more per person than if we had rented the hall and done our own catering! And we had a sit down dinner of Chicken Dordon Bleu, broccoli and cheese, roasted potatoes, salad, appetizers before hand and iced tea and lemonade as well. They even gave us a good price on champagne and wine and beer. I got all of this and the hall rental for what one caterer wanted for just hor dourve trays!
