Holly B. Sent on 01/02/2022The Food Speaks for Itself & is Backed by an Amazing Team!
We had amazing luck when it came to hiring vendors. They all worked well together and set an amazing vibe for our wedding!
Joanne from Bennett Caterers went beyond our expectations! Planning during COVID was overwhelming and she put us at ease from the beginning. The chicken and the steak were delicious as well as everything else, especially the appetizers! Your staff was incredible and went above and beyond to take care of everyone. The food speaks for itself! We were delighted with the experience and look forward to working with Bennett Caterers in the future.

Reg L. Sent on 03/18/2020Excellent Services for Retirement Celebration
Bennett’s Catering provided food services on March 15, at Southern Area Aquatics Center (SAARC), Brandywine, Maryland, for my wife’s retirement celebration of 40 years in the Federal Government. Upon my initial contact with Ms. Joanne Grigsby, Bennett’s Director, we met at the event venue, toured the newly built facility and conference rooms, started a planning dialogue that included detailed meal plan options and event logistics. Ms. Grigsby was very helpful, responsive, and very flexible in adjusting event parameters as we walked thru the process over an approximate one-month planning period. On the day of the event, Ms. Grigsby’s staff and workers were on time, very courteous, and truly professional in making our celebration a huge success. My wife and family were very happy with the event outcome; the food was delicious; and most of all, the event was completed on-time and conference room and kitchen quarters left in tip-top condition after clean-up. I would certainly recommend Bennett’s to others needing similar services; and I would certainly use their services for any of my future events requiring food services.

We got married this year (2020) and worked closely with Bennett Caterers to be flexible with our needs. Our guests said they loved the food and we’re happy with how everything turned out given many uncertainties. -

Wow! What an amazing experience working with Bennett Caterers.
Ms. Joanne did an amazing job catering our wedding! My husband and I decided on a wedding just TWO months before the wedding date. Ms, Joanne made it happen! The menu, drinks, deserts, were amazing! All of our guests LOVED the food. BC puts a generous amount of food on each of the plates. The staff/waiters are so sweet and helpful. We had passed around appetizers during our cocktail hour that were delicious. For dinner we had an amazing combination of some of my husbands and I's favorite foods. Ms. Joanne made a special punch and everyone kept asking for the recipe. I loved it! This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a catering company. The table decor came out beautifully and I thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with Ms. Joanne (I call her a magician because she made the impossible... POSSIBLE). I highly recommend! -

Wonderful, accommodating caterer!!
My first interaction with the owner, Joanne, was wonderful. She was incredibly helpful in not only deciding on the wedding menu, but in matching colors, suggesting decor, and offering advice for planning as she was aware that I was planning my own wedding and had no idea what I was doing!
She helped me afford the full-service buffet catering by working out pricing that worked well for my budget and worked out ALL the buffet options I wanted! I was super excited and incredibly happy with the menu! It hit all food options, meats, seafood, vegetarian.
We scheduled a tasting during our meeting with the venue representative and Joanne provided all the needed documentation for catering. The tasting was all of the entrees/sides that we put on the menu, AND additional tastings of other options and iced tea that I wanted. Since we didn't really have "tasting" time at the venue, she packed it up into take-out boxes and let us take so much food home! It was as if we went to a restaurant and got take-out food for dinner!
I hired Bennett Caterers for my wedding ceremony/reception, all located in the same lodge. Set-up time was scheduled from 12:00-2:00pm, with the ceremony supposed to begin at 2:00pm. They were already at the location when we arrived for set-up and setting up table linens. In that time frame, I threw the decor onto the tables and ran off to get ready for my wedding.
By the time I came back up for the ceremony, all of the tables were beautifully covered with the plates and silverware. Everything was set-up and the buffet was warm and ready on the side. During dinner, the food was very good and everyone seemed satisfied. With my nervousness, I kind of forgot to eat during my entire wedding, but at least the guests enjoyed it! The bar was also great!
The waiters were incredibly respectful and Joanne's team was great. If there was anything I could have changed, I probably would have pushed a couple of late night (after party) snacks that could have gone around during the dancing, as I didn't get the try any appetizers during cocktail hour, since I was off taking photos. :( To any brides that plan their own wedding, you SHOULD have breakfast, because I thought I'd get to try some of the food and I didn't... :(( But I'm so happy the guests enjoyed it all!
Just a side note -- I didn't quite know this was universal for caterers, but to avoid liability issues, they cannot leave you leftovers (especially since the food sits out for a long time), so don't be surprised if you don't get to keep everything that you saw after dinner.
Thanks, Joanne! -

Pat Sent on 07/19/2018Bennett Caterers helped make our 30th Anniversary vow renewal “the event of the year”. That was a direct quote from several attendees. Joan was very professional and made everything seem effortless. I’ll certainly use Bennett Catering again.
