Five star food and service that our wedding guests are still raving about!

Robbie Jester and the In Jest catering team are simply the best of the best. We couldn't have asked for more! We interviewed other caterers in the area, but they paled in comparison, both in price and creativity. Robbie brought our food ideas to life, and the bar is very high since my now husband and I pride ourselves as capable home cooks and foodies. Robbie Jester is creative, honest, and humble! Transparent prices and beautiful food. On top of all that, the service on our wedding day was AMAZ--ING!

The In Jest team treated our guests like royalty. Following me the bride around with a tray of food, to ensure that I enjoyed the good eats. Accommodating guests with allergies and food restrictions. Mixing up tasty cocktails and serving up delicious food our guests still haven't stopped raving about. If you don't book Robbie Jester and the In Jest catering team for your big day, you are truly missing out on unforgettable and affordable a five-star experience.
