    Great service!

    We’re so glad that we chose BJ’s to cater our wedding. The staff was always friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. Once we had our tasting and looked at pricing, we signed our contract that day. Plenty of food options and all for a great price. Highly recommend!!!

    Thank You so much for your positive feedback. We are so happy that everything went as planned, thanks again Maisie!

    Amazing wedding dinner!

    We had BJ's cater our wedding last month. We sat down with Gayla in January and ever since she was beyond helpful and always there when we needed anything! Chef Ronnie was amazing and our guest could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. We want to thank Gayla, Chef Ronnie and all the staff at BJ's for helping us make our wedding day perfect! 10/10 recommend BJ's for anyone's catering needs!

    BJ's Catering, Rental & Event Center's reply:

    Thank You Shelby we were so happy to help your special day be wonderful, your kindness of words speaks volume. Thank you and your family again!

    Couldn't have picked a better catering company!

    We had Bj's cater our wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The staff was more than amazing to work with, and the food couldn't have been better! We have gotten so many compliments from our guests on the food and service. They honestly did everything in their power to make our day run smoothly, and it absolutely did. We are so thankful that we chose them!

    Bjs catering is absolutely amazing! Ever since our tasting I was looking forward to the food at our wedding! It was a hit! So many people have commented how amazing the food was.

    Make sure to get the Northern Maple Salad!! It is incredible.

    Bj's was absolutely amazing. We got all of our chairs and napkins from here. Also all of our food and pies! Everything was great! From the food to the service. The bartenders were kind and easy going and the food was hot and delicious. I would recommend them every time! Susan was great to work with.

    Top notch service and food! Our buffet looked great and tasted awesome. We chose some straightforward appetizers that were perfect for our venue and the day (it ended up pouring on our outdoor wedding--it worked out ok!) and we heard rave reviews all night from guests about dinner (prime rib was awesome!). Everyone was able to eat until they were full, and the service from the staff was perfect. We also had a late night snack which was great, and although a lot of guest said they were full from dinner still (because it was delicious) I was really glad we went for it and would do it all over again. Thank you BJs!

    BJ's catering was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The responsiveness of their staff was top notch. Susan took take of our needs and we couldn't have been more happy. Our first tasting was wonderful. On the day of the wedding the staff was readily available to help our guests, light our centerpiece candles, and ensure that everyone was enjoying their meal. The food was as delicious as we first tasted it. We are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with BJ's. Give them your business. You won't be disappointed.

    BJ's Catering, Rental & Event Center's reply:

    Thank you Matt! It certainly helps in planning when you have a bride and groom know exactly what they want and are amazing to work with! Best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness!

    I contacted BJ's 10 days before my son's wedding to cater a Welcome Party for traveling guests. We had 60 attendees and the food and service was terrific. I cannot believe how accommodating they were. Guests truly enjoyed the food and Scott from BJ's cooked tasty, moist and delicious fare. They work within just about any budget and treat you like family. My compliments to the chef.

    They were great to work with and accommodating with our many change request. The food was delicious and the display for the buffet line was set up nicely. We also used them for our bar and was happy with their service.

    BJ's was awesome! Our food was all so amazing and we had so many compliments on how great our dinner was. We used them for appetizers, our buffet dinner, late night snacks, and the bar. All of the food was delicious and the staff was great! Everyone was so nice and efficient during and after our dinner. The bartenders were great. Susan was so wonderful to work with and made everything a breeze for us. I would definitely recommend BJ's.

    Dinner was excellent, the staff was easy to work with. Working with Susan to plan from afar worked out really well, and she answered all my questions and gave great suggestions when asked. We were able to research our own alcohol to provide, saving us a lot of money in the end.

    Amazing food and outstanding service. We chose them based on how attentive they were at our tasting--far above and beyond any other caterer we dealt with! They also have a fantastic salad with maple dressing. I usually do not like salad and even I ate some of this :)

    - Thank you to BJ's for being so great to us during our wedding! The chef, staff, bartenders, waitstaff and everyone who had helped us make our wedding completely amazing. EVERYONE raved about the delicious menu! We are SO happy that we chose BJ's for our wedding day! The Prime Rib was excellent! The mashed potatoes melted in our mouth! The summer veggie medley was delicious! Thank for for all the wonderful appetizers and fruit trays! I wish we lived closer so we could eat at BJ's all the time!! :)

    BJ's went above and beyond for our Vegan wedding reception in Glen Arbor! From the start with planning with Margaret, to the delicious meal prepared by chef Mark, to the positive and professional waitstaff, and to the friendly bartenders, everyone was wonderful! They were responsive and flexible regarding our special requests. The appetizers, salads, rolls, and main entrees were all perfect! And I have to say it was one of the top dinners we have ever eaten. Many of our guests expressed how they couldn't believe it was vegan, as it was the first all vegan meal for many. The dinner was served buffet style and the last plate served was still hot!

    We also rented our lines, china, flatware, and glassware from BJ's. Everything was in great condition and it was convenient to work with one company for all of our reception dinner needs.

    We will be sure to recommend BJ's to all of our friends and family for their catering needs! I also highly recommend BJ's to those planning a vegan event, as we found most Northern Michigan caterers were not able to accommodate a vegan menu.

    As everyone knows if the wedding food is terrible and the alcohol is subpar everyone remembers. BJ'S catering cooked all of our food on site the day of the wedding and our guests were amazed by it all! Food was steaming hot, veggies weren't soggy from sitting around all day, everyone loved it! We even ran low on liquor and they were able to get mo there before anyone even realized it. No pause in the food or drinks and they were even nice enough to offer up reheating the food at the end of the time that we had leftover! No one does that, but BJ's. Staff was polite and attentive to everyone and even took my plate for me from the stations to the table to be sure I didn't make a mess of my dress! Loved everything about them and absolutely use them for any catering needs in the future! Thank you Ronda and all your staff!

    We are very happy with BJ's catering. They were professional, hard working, friendly, and WONDERFUL. They are very helpful with your planning and all the decisions you have to make! The service was awesome - our guests commented on how wonderful they were many times. The appetizers were delicious, the food was great, and the drinks were good too! They worked so hard and smiled all day. We highly recommend their services to any bride and groom! You will be happy with all they do! -
