Absolutely perfect!

Palmer's Catering is top notch. From the first phone call with Jennifer Bonnette, I knew this was going to be the right decision for us. She was so wonderful from start to finish. She is a true pro and couldn't have been more helpful. She has great ideas and was a pleasure to work with. The food was amazing! We did a raw bar and charcuterie station which were both fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Every course of our meal was delicious. The table settings were elegant and the set up for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were just beautiful! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was and how beautiful everything looked. I could not recommend any caterer higher than Palmer's. We will be forever grateful to Jennifer and the Palmer's staff for making our wedding vision come to life!

Fantastic Food and Even Better Service

Palmer's was a fantastic catering partner from start to finish. Not only was the food phenomenal; what I valued most about Palmer's is how flexible they were. Everything was customizable - from the amounts of appetizers to the choices of entrees - and they truly built the event around what we needed and wanted. The appetizers were delicious and plentiful; the entree meals were incredible - the pan seared sea bass and short rib were fan favorites. The service on event day was the definition of professional and truly a 5-star experience. I will be hiring Palmer's for any and all catering needs go-forward - they were EXCELLENT and highly recommend for your wedding.

Many compliments on Palmer’s!

We had a great experience with Palmer’s catering our May 2025 wedding! Christina was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process - a key part of our wedding planning team for sure. We appreciated the opportunity to do a tasting ahead of signing our contract, we felt very confident moving forward them. They offer some delicious, modern takes on catering classics and we especially loved how everything was plated & served - little more interest than your average wedding meals! We got so many compliments on the food at our wedding!!! And on the bartenders! Speaking of the bar - Palmer’s was really accommodating when we wanted to make some swaps and further curate our bar package. We’d definitely recommend Palmer’s to any couple looking for a high quality wedding caterer!

Palmers of Darien

I cannot recommend Palmers with enough enthusiasm. We were fortunate to work with Melissa and she guided us through the entire process. She was patient and flexible with all of our needs. The staff the day of the wedding was phenomenal We could not have done this without the guidance of Melissa!

Highly recommended!

Working with Palmer's Catering Services was an incredible experience. My husband and I were married in our Connecticut backyard in September 2020. We wanted an intimate family feel to the wedding reception with high-end catering that was approachable and fit the experience. Working with Melissa Zelaya and her team was a pleasure. Not only was the food delicious, their attention to detail and service at the wedding was impeccable. Melissa worked with us on budget without compromising the experience, partnered with other vendors we were working with and helped bring the experience to life, truly making our wedding day flawless and one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you again for making our day extra special!!

So professional and tasteful!

We had our wedding reception at the DCA Meadowlands, where we found Palmer's through the venue. I can't say enough how perfectly they made everything great and stress-free for us. Their service is so professional and the food was so delicious. First things first, I would like to give a special thanks to Shannon for her great help and patience while I was bombarding her with billions of questions. She was so hands-on and always so nice and helpful to us. Once we contacted Palmer's, Shannon invited us for a tasting. Before going for the tasting, we were also in contact with some other caterers as well, but once we met with Shannon and Megan, the owner, we've been certain about working with Palmer's. What we really like at most about Palmer's is that they do listen to you for what you request for. They first try to figure out what you expect, what you want or not, and they respond to what you exactly ask for. Our guests loved the food. I noticed some guests going for their second round in the buffet.
Palmer's was one of the best decisions my husband and I have ever made for our wedding. Thanks so much again to Palmer's for making our wedding night so smooth and pleasant from the setup through the clean-up, and what we totally hoped for.

Palmer's Catering

I had the pleasure of having Palmers caterer my tent wedding. They handled everything; the food, the flowers, the rentals & décor etc. They made everything so easy and the quality was outstanding!! The Korean Fried Chicken hors d'ourves were out of this world! They also made us a custom dessert bar with 3 cakes and a selection of incredible desserts.

Palmer’s Bakery Wedding Cake

I was unsure what I wanted, but with Palmers guidance, I truly had the wedding cake of my dreams! Melissa and her staff are wonderful to work with and very responsive to any and all requests. Picking the cake was the easiest part of wedding planning! Will absolutely be going to Palmers for any special occasion cake in the future. Also, friends and family still talk about how delicious it was, and our wedding was three months ago!

The most FUN cake!

We are so thrilled that we found Palmer’s Bakery in Darien to make our wedding cake. They were outstanding to work with from the beginning of the process all the way to the end. They were prepared for us when we went in for our tasting and had ideas to share with us. We landed on a Funfetti cake that truly captured the fun we wanted our guests to have at our reception. Their final cake exceeded our expectations, and our guests still talk about it. They not only loved how it looked, but they also LOVED how it tasted. I highly recommend Melissa and Palmer’s. They are awesome!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
