“I completely recommend Blue Plate, but if you need more info, please read on. David at Blue Plate was amazing to work with; he’s kind, flexible, and responsive, and was willing to work with all the dietary restrictions both we, and our guests had, without making anything feel awkward or difficult. It was so easy to work with them to create a menu we wanted for our rehearsal and reception dinners, with full bar service. I also had them cater my bridal shower and they did an AMAZING job. Working with them felt very customizable, which is often not something you find in caterers. We made a lot of last minute changes to both our service and menu requirements due to COVID restrictions and Blue Plate handled this safely and effectively. I gave four stars because of the ultimate reception service the day of: there was a drink recipe confusion for one of our signature drinks, cake cutting scheduling error, they forgot to add a dessert sauce to our cake before serving, and there was small change in the entree from our tasting appointment to our reception dinner which we didn’t expect - I was lax about following up and clarifying details beforehand so I think the ultimate fault is with me not communicating well, and not with Blue Plate. I think if you specify details clearly they would easily match all your requests. I 100% recommend them, and I know if we have catering needs in the future we will want to work with Blue Plate. David is a one of a kind human and I appreciated working with him!”

“We deliberated a ton on choosing a caterer for our wedding. We were trying to stay on budget yet choose something we knew our guests would enjoy. Julie Bieber with Hoffman House went above and beyond to help us decide and honestly her generosity sealed the deal. Nearly everything we tried at our tasting was top notch on taste and appearance. We settled on a BBQ buffet with a few extras (hot cider and candy apple table) and it was a hit with guests. Several guests came up to me to say how good the food was, especially the appetizers. The service they provided was also fabulous! Everything ran smooth and one specific server (unfortunately I did not catch her name) made sure that my husband and I were tended to and got food. She even went above and beyond catering to my dogs. Anything I asked her for she obliged. I loved that she made sure all my leftover desserts were boxed up which I don’t even think was her job but she did it because I asked specifically. The servers even took the time to bag about a dozen candy apples for us to take home. I was just super impressed and happy that I chose Hoffman House. No matter what food we would have chose I have no doubt they would have handled it perfectly. Choose Hoffman House! They’re worth the cost and you won’t be disappointed.”
