Cooking for 150, or even 100 is a big job. You're going to need a LOT of help.

Sam's Club. You can buy by the case and you don't have to own a restaurant.

Change the menu, get a really big grill and cook onsite. Or figure out a way to smoke a ton of meat and keep it hot., using insulated food carriers. You can keep food hot all day using them.

If not onsite, then you'll need Cambro food carriers, hotel pans, a truck, etc.

This is my short and quick answers. I started a catering business over a year ago and I spent a lot of time and money investing in the proper equipment to do the job right. A 150 person outdoor picnic is no picnic and takes a decent amount of prep time and work. Keep that in mind.
