Couldn't have asked for a better Caterer

We couldn’t have been happier with EAT Catering for our wedding! From the very beginning at our tasting all the way through the end of our wedding night, their team was absolutely fantastic. They were professional, attentive, and truly cared about making everything perfect for us.

The food was incredible—everyone is still talking about how much they loved it! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and served seamlessly throughout the evening. The serving staff during cocktail hour were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and kept everything flowing perfectly for our guests.

The drinks package was also amazing, and the bartender was top-notch—quick, personable, and made great drinks all night long. As a thoughtful touch at the end of the night, they even packed us an incredible to-go bag filled with a ton of food—from appetizers to the main course and sides—which we really appreciated after such a busy day.

Overall, the entire team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and their attention to detail really stood out. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers amazing food and exceptional service from start to finish, we highly recommend EAT Catering!

Highly Recommend

EAT Catering was the perfect choice for my wedding! They were great and easy to work with. They were very flexible and accommodating the entire time. You could tell it was important to them that my groom and I were happy and taken care of. We appreciate their hard work and attentiveness. The menu has great options to choose from. The food was delicious and we got compliments on it the entire night from our guests.

Flawless Execution and Truly Exceptional Food – EAT Catering Went Above and Beyond

EAT Catering was phenomenal from start to finish. We had a very specific vision for our wedding—from custom cocktail recipes with particular ingredients to fresh juice brands and detailed menu tweaks—and the EAT team delivered on every single request without hesitation or pushback. Their flexibility, professionalism, and commitment to getting it right was remarkable.

The food was incredible—beautifully presented, perfectly timed, and just as delicious as it was at our tasting (which we didn’t think was even possible). Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and our guests are still raving about it.

More than anything, the team was accommodating, thoughtful, and a total joy to work with. EAT helped bring our wedding vision to life, and we’re so grateful to have had them by our side. Wholeheartedly recommend.

From the moment I reached out I knew this was the only caterer I wanted to work with!

The food was absolutely amazing! We all ended up gathering around it and eating and sharing stories.

Every single person commented on how delicious the food was and my goodness the portion sizes floored me!

You will not be disappointed!

yum yum yum! delicious

We chose Eat Kitchen and Catering for our wedding day and couldn't have been happier with the services and food they provided. They went above and beyond our expectations. Not only was the food delicious, the staff made sure we (the bride and groom) got to taste every last bit of the food, and approached us with drinks throughout the night. I actually used to cater weddings myself and I spent some extra time towards the end of the night thanking the staff and chatting with them. They told me not many brides go out of their way to do that. Which makes me so sad because the staff was such an important part of our big day. If I had to do it all over again I would choose EAT's for our special day. From the beginning of working with them, until the very end I was impressed.

Eat Catering - Exceptional Service for Our Son’s Wedding

We had an absolutely flawless experience with Eat Catering for my son’s wedding, from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding reception. Everything was executed perfectly, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Sheila was incredibly helpful throughout the menu planning process. The tasting felt like a full meal, and it was honestly difficult to choose from so many delicious options! Her guidance made the decision-making process much easier, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. Rachel provided excellent assistance in selecting the perfect wine, beer, and spirits, and the bar was definitely a highlight of the night. Her expertise and attention to detail made all the difference.
One of the most impressive things about Eat Catering was their ability to handle the fluctuations in our guest numbers with complete ease. The team was always gracious and flexible, no matter the changes. Plus, the fact that they took care of the china, silverware, and glassware made the entire process much simpler, and it was a great value.
Both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception were unique and special, thanks to Eat Catering’s thoughtful coordination. It was such a relief to work with the same dedicated team across both days. We felt completely understood, and our vision for both events came to life beautifully. We can’t thank the team enough for everything. I would absolutely recommend Eat Catering to anyone looking for exceptional service, and we hope to work with them again in the future!

Best Value, Best Caterer! 100% Recommend!

My husband, family, friends, and I are still talking about how amazing EAT Catering was at our wedding. From the food to the service, they are 10 out of 10. In addition to passed appetizers, we did a buffet style dinner, mac & cheese bar, and a plated salad to start, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Cocktail hour and dinner went so smoothly, and everyone loved the food. We had a couple people tell us they kept going up for more! The process from the initial tasting, to booking to final decisions to wedding day was so easy. I worked with Sheila mostly, and she was a pleasure to correspond with and always had a smile on her face while at the wedding. All the servers and bartenders were attentive and professional. My husband and I also liked that we could provide our own alcohol and EAT Catering had a mixer package, so we didn’t have to worry about all the little ingredients. I gave the recipes for our 3 signature drinks and let them know what liquor we got, and they took care of the rest. The drinks were all so good too! We had a guest count of about 90 and there was plenty of food for everyone plus leftovers, which were enjoyed as after wedding late night snacks and for a couple meals the next few days! We learned pretty quickly that catering costs can get quite high, EAT Catering has very reasonable prices and many different options to fit most budgets and when you take into account the quality of the food, service and experience, it’s one of the best values out there. After the wedding, my husband said, “can we have EAT Catering cater every single event from now on?” 100% recommend!

Absolutely Amazing!

We booked EAT Catering for our wedding and loved them! The food is amazing and the team of people are so so sweet and caring. Shelia and her team will make you feel so special and we loved the picnic basket they packed for us to take home after the wedding. Shelia was there to answer any and all questions we had throughout the whole process. We did a Buffett for our catering and the food was hot from the first person being served all the way to the last! The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly and we keep receiving compliments from our guest about how great all of it tasted!

Sheila is the Best!

From the initial tasting to the final plate of food served at the wedding, Sheila and her staff at EAT Catering were nothing short of AMAZING! We cannot recommend them enough! They were greatly accommodating to any dietary restriction we had, and the friendliness and professionalism of the serving staff rivals top tier restaurants. If you are considering using EAT Catering for your wedding, DO IT!

Great Food Great Service

We hired EAT Catering based off of recommendations from the venue where my daughter was having her wedding. They did not disappoint! We had about 200 guests with passed appetizers, a plated salad and buffet meal of salmon and petit filet with sides of mashed potatoes and mixed veggies - it was exceptional. Everyone talked about how tender and well-seasoned the food was. The mini crab cakes are definitely worth the price and were a big hit! Don't forget the dinner rolls - they were amazing! The staff was very attentive and friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of. If your guest count is around the size of ours do the double buffet, it made the dinner run much smoother and allowed everyone to eat together rather than stretching out the mealtime. I will definitely recommend them to anyone that asks.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
