Leanne is a complete doll to work with! Will use her again if I need a caterer in the Fredericton area!

Leanne and her catering staff were incredible, especially the week of the wedding and the wedding day. When I called her regarding an issue I was having with my venue the day before the wedding, she took it upon herself to call my venue and ensure no one stresses the bride and groom out, and took the issue on herself and dealt with it in such a supportive and graceful way. Leanne was truly there for us! We can't express enough how thankful we are to her and her team for the delicious food and attentive service we and all of our guests of our wedding received. We have gotten several compliments on the food and service from guests, and we will always recommend her and her team.
Thank you Leanne and Sam for all the incredible support and for playing a role in making our day so memorable for everyone who attended!

Leanne and her staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding absolutely spectacular. The food was simply delicious! From presentation to taste, every component was spot on. Our guest are still raving about the food!

Leanne was incredible to work with during the planning of our wedding. She is easy to talk to, energetic and positive, always professional, and committed to making fresh, real food. Her enthusiasm is contagious - we had a lot of fun!

My husband and I decided to hire LJW Catering after experiencing an incredible meal at a family members wedding. As guests to that wedding, we saw how organized and professional the catering services were, not to mention how DELICIOUS the food was. When we decided to have Leanne and her team become a part of our special day this past June we knew we could count on the same quality of service. On the day of our wedding, our expectations were far more than exceeded. The high quality of service that Leanne Wiens and her team provided went beyond the wedding day itself. She was always available throughout the planning process and was great to work with. LJW catering is more than just a catering company – they become a significant and prized part of your wedding day. Leanne truly puts the bride and groom as the center of her focus, and is willing to do ANYTHING (even if it is outside their said responsibilities) to make the day run as smoothly as possible. The team’s willingness to adapt to the unforeseen changes that occur during the day’s proceedings is remarkable. Without Leanne and her hard working team, both my husband and I can say, without a doubt, that our wedding day would not have been as memorable and special as it was. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food tasted and we will surely be encouraging others to use her services in the future.

If you’re looking for excellent service and amazing food look no further. Leanne, owner/operator of LJW catering does it all! My husband and I enlisted her services for our New Years Eve wedding reception and we could not have been happier with the food, service and presentation. Leanne really takes the time to listen to your needs, wants and expectations. She made me feel comfortable and confidant that I was making the right decision by hiring her with in minutes of our first conversation.

Her presentation is fantastic, and it was more then what we had expected. As for the food, we cannot say enough about how delicious it was! We have received compliment after compliment, and have been asked for her name and contact information from many guests since the night of our reception.

Leanne recently catered a birthday party for my husband and once again the food was amazing! I asked have appetizers made for 15-20 people and there was more then enough to go around. I highly recommend Leanne and her company LJW catering. Her passion for service, presentation and food is second to none. She will go above and beyond for your event, big or small. I can confidently say that we will continue to do business with her. Enjoy!

Leanne and her team at LJW Catering were wonderful to work with for our wedding; we were truly in good hands that day! Not only was the food excellent, the service, presentation and organization they provided that day were better than we could have hoped for. Leanne met with us and prepared a unique menu that was exactly what we wanted for the day; she catered to our tastes and theme (fresh and local) while providing helpful advice on menu selection.

For dinner service we wanted an unconventional, dinner party-style reception. LJW catering executed this theme perfectly! The dinner tables were set beautifully and the dinner was absolutely delicious and served right on schedule, none of our guests were left waiting. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed their dinners and Leanne was wonderful when it came to catering to different dietary needs. We received many compliments on the dinner.

Leanne not only prepared a delicious meal for us, she and her team also took care of organizing everything that was going on at the venue that day. We told them exactly how we wanted everything set up and they took care of it all. We were truly in good hands that day, when we arrived at the reception it was absolutely perfect!

We can’t say enough good things about LJW catering, they prepared an amazing meal, customized exactly for our wedding and the service and presentation were far better than we could have imagined.

Anyone who has been privileged enough to meet Leanne and plan for their event along with her are extremely fortunate! Upon meeting Leanne and seeing her love and passion for food, we knew we had to have her cater for our big day. Leanne, you had us (and my mother) at “fresh, fresh, fresh ;)”
My husband and I both have a love for Thai food and thought it would be great to have this as an option for our wedding meal, we are so pleased that we did. The food not only tasted fantastic, but the presentation was fabulous!!!
Leanne and her staff went above and beyond for our wedding. They were all extremely professional; we had many people who attended comment on how wonderful everyone was!
We both feel very fortunate to have met you and look back on our big day with the fondest of memories. Thank you so much for everything you are fantastic!
