“As we began our search for wedding vendors, one name consistently came up: Blue Plate Catering. Many people raved about them, claiming they were the best. The feedback highlighted their impeccable preparation and delicious food. We reached out to Blue Plate Catering, and their responsiveness was impressive from the start. We scheduled a tasting, which was a wonderful opportunity to select the exact menu we wanted. Having a private tasting appointment was especially nice, as it allowed us to enjoy the experience without the distraction of random strangers. Throughout the process, Ashley from Blue Plate Catering was our main point of contact. Her communication was exceptional, making it easy to get answers to all our questions. Picking up our rented table linens just a few days before the wedding was a seamless experience. On the wedding day, the team arrived on time and had more than enough staff to ensure everything went smoothly. The popcorn and pretzel station for happy hour was a huge hit, and our guests loved the flavors! Dinner was equally delightful, and the team helped cut the Nothing Bundt Cakes for us. Blue Plate Catering is a fantastic company—organized, delicious, and easy to communicate with. They have truly perfected their craft. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to ensure their event runs flawlessly.”
