Emily’s Cafe and Catering -Spectacular!!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Emily’s Cafe and Catering!! I want to start by saying it rained on my wedding day and it was in my parent’s backyard so we had no plan b. Emily’s made this day perfect for me. They had their staff wiping water off of ceremony chairs, running around relighting candles. I was so upset, and the staff being so positive and kind really helped my mood.
From start to finish our experience was absolutely incredible. Our event coordinator Lauren was so kind, professional, and made our vision come to life. She met with us in the beginning, even came out to do a site visit at our venue in the snow. One of the best parts was that they worked directly with a tent vendor/rental vendor and I didn’t have to communicate with them at all- which as a bride was such a relief that that was taken off my plate. I updated my rentals so many times and Lauren was always accommodating and very responsive.
The food that the talented chefs prepared was absolutely insane. The menu you can choose from is so extensive; truly there is something for everyone! On the day of my wedding the chefs were SO CLEAN! They left my mother’s kitchen spotless and even packaged up the leftovers for us. People are still telling us how much they loved the food. If you’re considering Emily’s, stop your search and go with them.

We love you Emily’s!!!!

Delicious food and amazing team!

Beth and her team at Emily's Cafe are amazing. They are responsive and easy to work with. We received so many compliments on the dinner and the cake. The team that worked our wedding (I'm blanking on their names, sorry!) were an absolute delight and some of them were even dancing a bit :) Highly recommend booking Emily's Cafe for your wedding.

Absolutely Delicious! Emily's is Wonderful

I'm so grateful Emily's Cafe & Catering catered our wedding. Emily's food is delicious, classic and we are still hearing from our guests that it was the wedding dinner they've ever had. Emily made our lives so easy in the planning process, she went above and beyond for a year leading up to our wedding and made our day extra special with small creative suggestions she made along the way (cupcakes!). Thank you Emily!

We got the chance to work with Emily and company at wedding at the Prallsville Mill in Stockton last year and they were amazing to work with. Dinner was spectacularly timed and was excellent. As a DJ I get to sample food from a lot of different caterers and the Chilean Sea Bass was out of this world! Emily was always very friendly and courteous and everything went amazingly well. Highly recommend.
