You NEED Susan's Catering at your wedding

To say Susan went above and beyond for us is an understatement!! My wedding would not have been what it was without her. She was absolutely a pillar to lean on during the entire planning process. She truly cares about her brides and went out of her way to accommodate us in ways she didn't have to. And the food! Absolutely wonderful and delicious. She doesn't create a cliche wedding buffet. The menu she put together was creative and fresh and we have heard so many comments on how good the meal was. I could go on, but you absolutely need Susan at your wedding! She will be on your side and help you achieve the dream wedding.

Susan's Catering was wonderful in every way.

Susan's catering did a wonderful job catering my daughter's wedding. We had to postpone for a year due to Covid so saying that Susan was flexible is an understatement. Susan was so supportive and helpful throughout the whole process. She was always available to quickly answer any and all questions I had. She even gave me advice about rental items and made sure our rental order was correct leading up to the wedding. She came up with a fantastic menu. The food was delicious and everything went so smoothly. Her serving staff did a fabulous job, quietly and efficiently. If there were any problems on the day of the wedding, they were handled behind the scenes without my knowledge. I can't say enough about how supportive and helpful Susan was during the almost 2 years leading up to our event. Thank you, Susan!

Exceptional Experience!

We had a fabulous experience with Susan’s Catering when planning our son’s rehearsal dinner! From our very first planning phone call to the end of the event, Susan provided excellent service: thoughtful questions and suggestions during our planning meetings, varied and creative menu ideas shared throughout the process, absolutely delicious and beautiful food offerings at the party, and professional, helpful service with her team during the entire event. Susan was available and flexible during the planning process, guiding me through each step- such a gift since I was planning from out of town. She was patient with the changes I requested during the process and found solutions to some of the issues we encountered planning during the challenging months of CV19. We were thrilled with the quality and presentation of the meal, which included exactly what we discussed but exceeded our expectations! Our guests raved about the food - so fresh, colorful, and flavorful . . and the perfect combination of healthy and indulgent! Our menu included a bountiful arugula salad with fresh berries, crumbled feta, sugar and pecans; dijon rubbed, grilled-to-perfection sliced chicken with white barbecue sauce and chimichurri sauce on the side, citrus, dill roasted salmon with fresh tomato caponata, roasted spring vegetables and roasted potatoes, and a caprese-style side dish. For dessert we enjoyed a scrumptious berry crisp with vanilla pastry cream and delectable triple chocolate brownies. Appetizers included cheese wafers with goat cheese, antipasto skewers, and open faced blt’s. It was a delightful evening, thanks to Susan and her team!

Couldn't have asked for more!

My daughter was married November 14, 2020.
We began communicating with Caterers in March. We selected Susan based on her choice of menu items and her years of experience. We didn't discover until later all the other reasons that she was such an excellent choice. She was incredibly helpful in not only answering our questions, but knowing the answers to questions that we didn't even know to ask!, When we selected her as our caterer in the spring, we had no idea that we would still be dealing with Covid in November. Susan touched base with us to assure us that she was still there for us. As time drew nearer, Susan arranged the meetings between the venue representative, our family, and her staff. She is very organized and VERY detail orientated. Again, she will clear up details that you don't even know exist. She worked with us on guest count, as the numbers continued to slip due to the upswing in Covid numbers.
The day of the wedding, I was a little frazzled (not unexpected of course!) but felt a real sense of relief when I saw Susan and her wonderful staff busy at work. She was on top of the CDC guidelines, including having her staff serve the food instead of the serve-yourself buffet line that we had anticipated. She and her staff of course were always wearing masks and gloves. After the dinner and dancing, her staff did an excellent job in organizing all the items that need to go home with the family (again, something I wouldn't have thought of had Susan not warned me): Food, bar items, etc. Speaking of the bar, we had Susan arrange the bar staff also, and they were great.
I can't say enough about how positive our experience was with Susan's catering.
