Backyard Wedding Perfection!

Drew and his team are AMAZING!! My husband and I hired Drew to cater our backyard wedding over MDW 2021. We had about 130 guests and to this day family and friends rave about how much they enjoyed the food at our wedding, everything from passed hors d’oeuvres to entrees and desserts were out of this world! My dad even asked for a second entree he loved his dinner so much…Father of the Bride approved!! To top it off Drew is so incredibly kind and easy to work with, easily one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. It was a dream day and we truly had a dream team.

A Great Company That Did a Great Job!

The Fruited Plain Caterers catered our wedding in October of 2021. Drew and his team did a spectacular job! Their food was delicious (more than a dozen of our guests have gone out of their way to tell us since the event) and the reception flowed very smoothly.

In addition to preparing the food, his team helped us order rental chairs, linens, etc, staffed the bar, and set up/took down almost everything in the hall.

Drew is very knowledgable and was a great resource as we planned our wedding. He helped us deal with some dietary restrictions as we started planning, and then helped to make the 1-year postponement of our wedding that COVID caused relatively easy. When the time came to get to planning again, he worked with us when we completely changed the format and size of the event (due to COVID).

He even coordinated the pickup of all of the rental chairs, linens, etc. while we were on our honeymoon so that we did not need to worry about it.

In short, I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Wonderful and professional

The Fruited Plain catered my daughters backyard bridal shower on what was probably one of the hottest days of the summer. Between the heat and the issues of hosting during a pandemic, Drew and his team handled it all with ease. We chose them because of their unique menus, and they did not disappoint. Food was wonderful! I would highly recommend them for small and large events.

The Fruited Plain Caterers Exceeded my Expectations!

The Fruited Plain did a fantastic job catering our daughter’s backyard wedding for a very reasonable price. As a worrywart, perfectionist, and former restaurateur, I have high standards and The Fruited Plain exceeded my expectations, allowing me the freedom to enjoy the special day. The food was delicious and well-presented, the staff was friendly and professional, and the set-up/clean-up was quick and efficient.
From the beginning, Drew, the owner, listened to our ideas and was receptive to our concerns. He made covid safety suggestions and his team implemented protective practices. Drew also arrived early in the day to scout the lay of the land, provided everything needed plus extra serving equipment at no additional cost, and crafted a well-planned non-dairy, gluten-free and nut-free menu so that all could enjoy.
The catering staff of servers and chef were polished professionals and downright sweet. From drinks & passed hors d’oeuvres to coffee & cake, these experts went above and beyond all night long by attending to the needs of the bride and groom and their grandparents, by maintaining a smooth orderly flow without ever being obtrusive, and by leaving our home cleaner than they found it (they swept & mopped!). They even took care of my elderly, disabled dog! From our positive experience and the tons of praise piled on by our guests, it’s clear that The Fruited Plain caterers are exceptional. We’re grateful for their expertise and kindness and highly recommend them!

Amazing! Couldn’t be happier!

This was the best experience I had with a vendor for my cozy backyard wedding. Drew and his team were nothing but professional. Drew was amazing. He was kind and extremely attentive to detail, the food was beyond awesome, and all the guests could not stop raving about our menu! His staff cleaned everything, set up everything, and left the place how they found it. I recommend a tasting if you can, you’ll be blown away! Lamb chops all the way!!

The Fruited Plain, Morristown, NJ

Drew & his staff catered my daughter in laws bridal shower and I can't say enough about our wonderful experience. The food was both delicious & presented beautifully, Drew fulfilled every wish with passed appetizers, some favorites were chicken & waffles, london broil crostini's and tempura shrimp to name a few, than displayed Covid friendly appetizers which were amazing, individual veggie cups & skewers tomato, mozzarella, basil. Also provided us with hot chaffing dishes of penne vodka, delicious salmon and chicken francais. Every dish was equally great, everyone raved for weeks about the food & wonderful service from the staff he brought. This is the second big party they have catered for us and we will be using them again! Highly recommend for any occasion, awesome to work with!!

Delicious food served up with a smile

We were so lucky to have these guys at my sister’s wedding this past summer in NJ. They accommodated every twist and turn and the food was simply delicious. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional and talented team!

a perfect 10

Drew and team put together an unforgettable experience for my sister's wedding earlier this summer - between the coordination and preparation for 200 people, to the flawless execution of delivering delishious, hot meals with unbelievable flavors, Drew and his team were a 10/10. I attended nearly one dozen weddings this past summer / fall, and the food and flavors (from the apps to the main courses) from Drew's team were the best. I would recommend Drew and his team to anyone looking for a top quality wedding catering service.

Wonderful Caterer

Drew and his team made our wedding day spectacular! He went above and beyond to suit all of our needs and wishes. His staff was extremely friendly and professional. We did not have a single second where we felt like our guests weren't taken care of. The food exceeded all of our expectations and more. Drew made sure that we felt comfortable with our choices before the big day too. He accommodated multiple tastings to ensure that we were happy. The bartenders were also amazing. We gave them our recipes and with no questions asked they made them come to life. People could not stop talking about the drinks all night! I highly recommend The fruited Plain team! They will not disappoint

Worry-free Wedding reception

What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING!!! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Drew is on the very short list of caterers that I recommend based on his food (of course) his creativity, his flawless work ethic and his flexible, "Why not?" attitude when it comes to his clients' events. Every event is important to him and his gracious, professional staff and no detail is overlooked. I have referred him to my former catering clients and have received nothing but rave reviews from every one of them.
