The guests were asking for thirds

What a great catering company. Not only was the taste testing with Tyler organized and professional but it was so yummy!! Almost every guest came up to us during our wedding asking who catered our food because it was phenomenal. Not only was the food amazing, but so was the staff and all their help. We also ordered tablecloths and plates from them. We had a little hiccup the day before on the number of tablecloths but Tyler was on it and went out of his way to make sure we got what we needed. We highly highly recommend JL Richards to anyone!! Thank you, Kim and Tyler!

Our guests could not stop talking about how good our food was. We had beef tips and baked chicken as the main course with a variety of vegetables and sides. Many people went back for seconds. Kim was great to work with and was flexible with last minute changes. The staff who were present for our wedding were very professional. They helped clean up tables and made sure our charger plates did not get thrown away. I would recommend JL Richards to anyone. Quality food for a great price.

Guests raved about the food!

Our guests absolutely LOVED the food provided by JL Richards! We opted for Beef tips over mashed potatoes and baked chicken and it's the some of the best food I've ever had. There was plenty of food for everyone and we had a lot of people asking where we catered from. It was also very reasonably priced compared to other places we looked at

amazing food and great service

We have used JL Richards for a number of larger events and they are always amazing. The food was hot, ready on time, and of course, delicious. I have had a number of people tell me it was the best wedding food they have had. They also cut our cakes and put them out at the buffet table for people. They cut all four of the cakes and put a few out of each so that people had a choice. The employees were so kind and made sure everything went off without a hitch!

Delicious food, helpful staff

I would highly recommend JL Richards. We hired them for our wedding caterer on July 13, 2019. After a not so pleasant experience with another caterer, I decided to look elsewhere. My venue's owner gave me a few recommendations, and this was one of them. Right away during the initial phone call with JL Richards, I knew that's who we should hire. They are extremely helpful and friendly. They answered all of my questions and guided me through this process that I had no experience in! They gave us different options, all priced out and written out very clearly to help us with our decision making. They made our experience pleasant and easy. And their food.... DELICIOUS! So many compliments from guests. We got to take the leftovers home and I was very happy about that. The chicken fell right off the bone... so good. Pasta salad went fast! Also, their pricing is very reasonable (we were definitely on a budget after buying a home and planning a wedding). The experience the day of was seamless. Can't go wrong with JL Richards. Thanks JL Richards! We will be back soon to purchase meats and sides for home!

JL Richards catered our wedding and did a great job! We were in a Barn that they were familiar with and we did not have to worry about a thing while they were there. We met with them to try their food and they were very helpful giving us samples and information. We had their BBQ beef brisket, italian chicken, pasta, mashed potatoes, corn, macaroni salad, beans and dinner rolls. We also got a pan of their veggie lasagna for the vegetarians at our wedding and this worked out very well and was a very reasonable price! We had plenty of food and I am still hearing about how great the food was at the wedding. We also used JL Richards to supply the beer for the reception. They brought the beer to the venue and brought the kegs back with them, we had no trouble. JL Richards did a great job with setting up, having everything that we asked for, and did not bother us on our wedding night as they made the whole dinner run smoothly. We would highly recommend JL Richards to cater a wedding and we plan to continue to support their business in the years to come as they have their own store/meat market. Great food, great service!
