Perfect wedding day.

My husband and I had our wedding at The Bank of EA, we chose Rich’s to cater our wedding and they were astounding. It takes a lot of research and decisions to make upon choosing a caterer for your special day, but Rich’s did not disappoint. Jennifer was delightful to work with from beginning to the end. Her and the staff made sure everything was just the way we wanted, and to have her there the day of, was a relief also. We couldn’t have chosen a better catering company. Thank you so much for everything!

Amazing to work with!

Rich’s was wonderful to work with, and Jennifer, who coordinated our event, was very responsive and easy to get ahold of for any questions we had. The attention to detail, food, beverages, and coordination of the day exceeded our expectations!

Amazing team!

The place is absolutely gorgeous but what made it worth its money was the team! Maureen and Therese were so wonderful from the planning to the day of the wedding. They went above and beyond for us even creating a custom dinner packages. They set up our decorations and the hall exactly the way we wanted and everyone loved the food.
