James Madison Catering

Jonathan and his team were amazing! From the start Jonathan was a dream to work with and made the process so easy! Plus the food was beyond delicious! He even catered a private dinner for my bachelorette party with all fresh ingredients that I am still thinking about to this day! Everyone was talking about how good it was! I cannot thank him and his team enough for making my wedding day so special!!

Jonathan and the team at James Madison make truly photo-worthy menus that left our guests raving about the delicious cuisine. We opted for a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern style crossover menu that produced an exceptional meal for our guests. The James Madison team was extremely flexible throughout the entire process, when the hot sun forced us to delay our ceremony, they quickly prepped food to extend the cocktail hour. When the high winds in Palm Springs started knocked over a few wine glasses, the team retrieved all the wine glasses and poured/hand delivered wine to our guests! Great work and I strongly recommend them!

Jonathan was fantastic to work with and very helpful designing a unique food experience for our wedding guests. My guests all raved about the “yummy food”. I would hire them again in a heart beat!

We met Jonathan at the San Diego Bridal Bazaar, and immediately fell in love with all three appetizers he offered. Booking was very simple and Jonathan gave us a personal tasting at our house months before the wedding. Our food menu included goat cheese tarts, lamb pinwheels, strawberry salad, risotto, steak/salmon/veggie entrees, and a late night snack of tacos. All of our guests were very impressed by the food! We hired the bartenders through Jonathan, and both bartenders were a big hit among guests. Jonathan made sure that our wedding was stress-free, and we will recommend him in the future.

Working with Jonathan @ JMC for our small, destination wedding was everything we could ever want and more. Jonathan is personable, thoughtful and a great listener; through talking with us in the months leading up to our wedding, he went above and beyond to to perfectly customize the menu. And the meal was INCREDIBLE. I'm still having dreams about the soufflé. If you want to have the most memorable dinner for your special event, you'll find it with Jonathan and his team!

Jonathon was wonderful to work with as he made our wedding menu vision come true. The post-wedding ceremony celebration was held at a private residence in Twentynine Palms, CA and we were looking for a caterer to serve a family-style middle eastern menu which would suit our guests’ various vegan/gluten-free/vegetarian dietary restrictions, while also providing options for meat lovers. Jonathon was excited about creating this menu. He even came to meet us at an Airbnb we rented when we visited the area months ahead of the event and put together a private dinner for us to taste. It was delicious and a great opportunity to provide him with feedback on the menu options we were able to try. Jonathan put so much passion and creativity into the menu and grazing board. He also handled the venue’s numerous permitting requirements with professionalism and grace. The wedding dinner that Jonathan presented on our big day blew us away! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, from the lamb meatballs, to the falafel to the turmeric couscous. We are so pleased with James Madison Catering and would highly recommend them. The glassware, flatware, and dinnerware they provided were also excellent.

I am still dreaming of the food that Jonathan and his team prepared for our wedding. Jonathan listened to all of our requests and exceeded all expectations. The service was amazing, the food was out of this world and the day was perfection. We truly felt like they treated us like family. 1000/1000 would recommend

We had James at our wedding and we loved it!

He is the sweetest person and his food is just delicious!

So don’t go looking somewhere else! You found your guy!

We had the barkeeper service booked too. Here just a little note . The Barkeeper could have been a little better on knowing how to do the drinks.

We enjoyed the service and would definitely recommend!!

Thank you James for everything again!

Jonathan’s food is exceptional. For the price we got a lot of food. Guest where so please with the food and appetizers. Everyone left happy and fed. I recommend every time

Jonathan and his team were absolutely incredible. The food was the hit of our event. Our guests were so impressed with not only the food, but the presentation, and the staff too. Jonathan and his team went above and beyond what was asked. I truly cannot wait for my next event so we can enjoy this food again. I would absolutely recommend James Madison catering, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.
