My wedding was 10/10/2020. J & D Catering & Sweets has a contract with the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium so you are required to utilize their services. Diane at J & D was amazing to work with! She was agreeable to pretty much do whatever we wanted. Our menu consisted of: Roast Beef, Parmesan Peppercorn Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, Corn Casserole, Mac & Cheese, the salad with the fruit in it, and rolls. We also got a two tier cake (funfetti with vanilla frosting) and cupcakes (Hostess was a HIT, Wedding White, Raspberry Lemon was my fave, and Peanut Butter Cup). The beef was just a little dry but everything else was absolutely AMAZING!! People raved over the chicken and Mac & Cheese. There were people taking 2, 3, 4 cupcakes home! They were so moist and flavorful. They do have an extra charge due to COVID-19 safety precautions and needing to individually wrap them, but it was worth it for the safety of our family and friends. They also catered our cocktail hour with homemade chips and French onion dip (a favorite), bruschetta, pinwheels, and fruit plates. I would definitely still book them if I were to do it all over again.

Diane is so incredibly easy to work with, and is very responsive to food allergy and other diet needs! We did have a little bit of an issue with the fact that our layered cookie cake was supposed to be cut and served to our guests along with individual cookies and cupcakes. Unfortunately was overlooked, but that just meant we were able to take the whole thing home 😋

After a few rounds of standard wedding food tasting, we thought we would have to settle, until we rolled up to our last stop... a little gas station in the middle of nowhere. My Mom asked "Are we lost," but no, the address led us to that very spot. We hesitantly walked in and were warmly greeted by Diane who brought us into her office. She blew our expectations right out of the water right from the start. Not only was she kind and funny, but everything from the cupcakes to the roasted vegetables were not only delicious, but gorgeous! (Seriously... Even the vegetables!) The moment I tasted her food, I new she was the one.
Throughout the whole planning process, she had great communication and was willing to answer any questions or special requests we had! Our wedding cake was gluten free and actually DELICIOUS! She personally came to our wedding with her staff on our wedding day and made everything run so smoothly! And the food was EXACTLY as fantastic as I remembered it. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I think she makes some of the best food I've ever tasted! (Sorry grandma!)
