Whatever the weather, they are the best!

The Catering Company is a top-notch catering service for any event in Winchester/surrounding areas. We have used them for corporate events and for two family weddings. The most recent event was our daughter’s wedding. Nick took his time with us and developed a menu based on some family recipes as well as some special seasonal dishes we had in mind. He was always friendly and relaxed (even with some last minute changes!!) while working hard to keep all the details running like clockwork behind the scenes. His staff was simply amazing. We had a “worst case” scenario during our outdoor reception with heavy rain, thunder and some lightning. They stayed calm and helped us to keep our event running safely (even as we took a needed pause and resumed our party when the weather cleared!) The staff continued to confidently work, calmly shifting our buffet to a weather protected area.
They took care of all the cleanup and tear down (what a relief!!). Side note: I was also impressed with Nick’s care of his staff during the bad weather. Somehow he managed to provide excellent service to us and also take care of his staff when the weather took a turn for the worst.
The food was incredible, just as we had hoped! Nick had even carefully trimmed our brisket so it was perfectly juicy, but not overly fatty. The beer can chicken was yummy!! So many guests commented on the crab dip and Mac
and cheese. I loved his crunchy Cole
Slaw and the nectarine salad with goat cheese drizzle was delicious. We loved having the addition of our family recipe, corn casserole (the bride’s favorite!) and sides of roasted potatoes too.
Nick and his team also handled all of our linen rentals.
They were prompt with returning emails and occasional texts.
Truly, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel they were worth every
penny and more! Even with our bad weather interruption (the worst our photographer had experienced too!), it was an incredible wedding day! The bride and groom were spared stress from the weather and the party carried on, happier than ever! Many thanks to The Catering Company. They are simply the best, our go-to for every event.

Excellent food and service!

We got Santmier Catering to cater our wedding and he and his crew went above and beyond expectations! From the very beginning, Nick was very easy to work with and responsive. He provided all sorts of helpful tips and advice and got us exactly what we were looking for. In addition to all of this, his food is outstanding! On our wedding day, Nick and his staff went out of their way to take care of problems and help with things beyond what they were hired to do! I highly recommend Santmier Catering!

Amazing food

I was an out of state bride who was looking for excellent food and I stumbled across this company. Angie was who I was in direct communication with and who showed up at my walk through and she was a DELIGHT. She helped me every step of the way and helped me navigate my way through planning a menu for my guests. We never ever tasted the food before the wedding we just went based on the reviews on this website. All I wanted was delicious food - not the typical wedding food that I'm so accustomed to - and Santmier Catering did just that. We went with the BBQ option and my guests are still talking about it a few days after the wedding. If you're looking for DELICIOUS food - this is the company to hire.
