Best wedding experience possible

John and crew made the our wedding perfect. We changed from a Vermont wedding to our backyard due to Covid-19 and reached out to John 2 weeks ahead of time. In that time he chatted with us about menu/vibe we were looking for (made recommendations based on our thoughts) was amazingly helpful with us for gluten free and vegan guests and made a house visit to give us his thoughts for layout. Again all in two weeks! For day of, the food was amazing, the service was fantastic and everyone was so nice, and they truly made our day special. Couldn’t thank John enough and would recommend him to anyone for any event.

Great Catering on Short Notice

J&L came in after a late cancelation from the other caterer. Their food was terrific (really, pumpkin lasagne? Superb!), and I think they made us enjoy the event even more because they were always friendly, as if they were part of the family. I would go to them before anyone else if I need a great caterer!

The perfect caterer

We took our time looking for a caterer for our wedding. From the initial inquiry to the final execution, J+L Catering was absolutely the right decision. Jim, our coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure our special day was just that, special. J+L offers a delicious menu, quality rentals and impeccable service. We originally planned for 100 people and ended up with 22 (due to COVID) and J+L was more than accommodating and didn’t miss a beat. On the day of the wedding, everything was flawless. From the cocktail hour, to the reception and the clean-up, the J+L team was polite, respectful of space and professional. The food – we are still talking about it today – was very delicious. We opted for 5 different cocktail hors d'oeuvres and a three course mean (entrées of chicken, salmon, veg and kids). Everything was executed to perfection – temperatures were appropriate, and taste was flavorful. We will absolutely consider J+L for any additional catering needs in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
