Highly Recommend Williamson Caterers!

We had the perfect experience with Williamson Caterers for our wedding day. We got married at Brandywine Manor House and Williamson is a preferred vendor. They had a specific package for Brandywine that included our wedding cake (Brooklyn Girl Bakery) and a big discount on our florals (Blue Moon Florists)! This saved us so much time and energy to have these details included in the package. From our first meeting with Williamson, they were professional, easy to communicate with and so accommodating of our requests. A huge shoutout to Brooke who handled every single detail and made sure that my husband and I were fed during all of the craziness and right after we said I do, Brooke was waiting at the end of the aisle with our signature drinks! Williamson has such an amazing variety of food to choose from (we went with the seated dinner options - Chicken, shrimp and scallops, salmon and filet of beef). We consider ourselves big foodies and wanted to have impressive appetizers to wow our guests, and Williamson delivered! They also give you the option to bring your own alcohol, which is a great choice to have if you are looking to save some money. We decided to have Williamson procure our alcohol to make things easier and they were so flexible to make sure we had the drink options we were looking for. I can’t recommend the Williamson team enough if you want a professional and friendly caterer on your big day!

Great Service

We hired Williamson Caterers for our November wedding. They were very communicative and flexible throughout the planning process. We had passed hors d'oeurves, plated salads, and buffet dinner and dessert and it was a perfect setup and affordable package. We received lots of compliments on the food! The bartenders were friendly and professional.

Good Food (and Drinks!) - Fantastic Service

We hired Williamson for our October 8th wedding, and everything went off without a hitch! Not only was dinner delicious, the presentation was lovely, bar service was great (with generous pours) and service was fantastic! Planning with Rick was very seamless, and they accommodated for us to have Persian kebabs served during dinner. Servers and staff were wonderful, including one staff member who brought us post-ceremony drinks, kindly directed feet away from my train and was so helpful and pleasant throughout the day! Overall, Williamson was incredibly flexible, very pleasant to work with and an amazing value!

Great experience with Williamson Caterers

We are so happy that Williamson Caterers was our vendor for our 128 person backyard wedding. Rick was great to work with throughout the entire process - he was very accommodating to any requests or ideas we pitched to him and provided so many different unique and delicious food choices for us to choose from. We really felt like we had the flexibility to create a food menu and experience that worked best for our wedding and Rick always made it seem like anything was possible. In addition to that, the food itself was INCREDIBLE! So many of our guests have commented on how great the food was. One of the highlights that everyone commented on was the mashed potato bar with the potatoes served in martini glasses – it was a hit. Going with Williamson Caterers is a full service option, especially if you are doing a backyard wedding – they will provide linens and table settings, food, service, alcohol and bartenders for a reasonable price and great service. If you are searching for a caterer for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed with Williamson!

Thank you Rick & Team!

We are so happy that we chose Rick and his team to cater our May wedding at Brandywine Manor House! Rick worked with us through a 2020 postponement and also made sure that everything was perfect for our new 2021 date. We cannot thank him enough for his patience and kindness over the past year. The food and drinks day of were great and the staff was accommodating and friendly. All of the tables were beautifully set and our cookie table looked amazing! We truly appreciate all of the hard work and behind the scenes work that Rick and his team put into our big day. Last but not least, I was to give a BIG shoutout to Devon! My husband and I were blown away by her. She was always by our side and went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we wanted or needed. We cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of us! If you are looking for a caterer, you will not regret choosing Williamson!

Williamson Caterers exceeded our expectations! They went above and beyond!

The best decision we made for my daughter's wedding was to hire Williamson Caterers! This was actually the 2nd time we hired them, the first time was for my son's rehearsal dinner! Rick is the best in the business. He is professional, creative, helpful and provides the most delicious food. The food presentation is perfection as well. We had lots of challenges due to the pandemic and had to change the wedding date but Rick never missed a beat. Rick was able to help us pivot to a much smaller affair than we originally planned on and offered so many great ideas that made our day perfect in every way. We highly recommend Williamson Caterers for your wedding and we will be using them again in the future! THANK YOU RICK and TEAM!

Great food and amazing value

Rick and his team were wonderful to work with!! Not only did they provide AMAZING and DELICIOUS food for the wedding, they were also so easy to work with. We kept making changes to the final menu and Rick and Lindsay were able to make it happen without any issues. We loved how flexible they were. Our family and friends still talk about how good the food was! Thank you Rick and Lindsay for everything!!

So thankful for this catering team!

Rick and his team are extraordinary. The food is fantastic but what makes them even more unique is that without hesitation they went above and beyond to help us personalize our day with our favorite things and elements meaningful to us such as our favorite beer (from NC!) and a popcorn machine. We were happy that their services can also including bar services, linens, etc.! What more could you ask for?! Would recommend 100%!!!!
