I would go to two or three local places that cater for weddings (pubs, hotels and so on) and ask for their sample menus. Find out exactly what would be provided per head.
This should give you some ideas of quantities.
But I have never been to a buffet where the food has run out!
Have a look at websites that cater for ideas too. For example, Waitrose supply buffet food. It will give you some idea of how far the food will stretch.
