Ces and Judy's Catering

d at a wedding! Lizzie went out of her way to make our day incredible and she worked very closely with us from start to finish! Our wedding was a bit chaotic due to weather, but the catering crew made it all work out smoothly and I am definitely grateful for all their hard work! Thank you guys so much 😊

e and at ease. As anyone could expect we wanted everything to be perfect that evening and it was! The staff was fantastic and even took it upon themselves to leave the venue and purchase a condiment for our grandchildren that we failed to make sure we had requested. That was only one of several special items where everyone went overboard to make sure things went well. Amanda and our wedding planner Alyssa coordinated together to provide a special treat to each person. They had a peach with a special note placed on each table setting, our daughter had an interest in doing something like that but we dropped it off at the end. They came through and surprised our daughter which was just another special item that Amanda made happen. We were especially pleased and extremely satisfied that we chose Ces and Judy and their incredible staff to make our daughter’s wedding a great evening to remember.

y have such an a variety of menus to choose from and everything we had was DELICIOUS!!! The STAFF is professional, accommodating and a delightful to work with as well. If you are looking for a phenomenal catering company ,I couldn't recommend Ces and Judy more HIGHLY!!

and hosted bar with beer, wine and signature cocktails. Everyone raved about the food (they still do, months later!) and the service was impeccable! Our guests were actually taking selfies with the bartenders because we all loved them so much, and they were SO nice!!! Can't recommend C&J enough!

g we wanted within our budget. And during the reception Amanda treated us like royalty, making sure we got to try the signature cocktail and the appetizers while we were busy talking to guests. We got the stations for dinner, and the food was amazing! Everyone was raving about it and going back for seconds.

s to the buffet. We were very pleased with Ces and Judy's and would absolutely recommend them. Our guests raved about the food, drink and service at our wedding.

edding!!

was also very nice and professional and extremely helpful for any request. I would definitely recommend ces and Judy’s to anyone!

eeded my expectations on the big day with great service and taking care of things without me having to be there to supervise. They even brought myself and my bridal party hors d’oeurves while we were taking pictures. What a great idea! They were always available to answer questions when I needed them. Would highly recommend.

STL sent you!

ied next fall is now considering Ces & Judy's from the experience.

ere are not enough words to describe how AMAZING Amanda is and we couldn't of planned our wedding without her. She thought of every detail which was so reassuring! We were so impressed by her that we hired her to officiate our wedding ceremony too! You will not be disappointed!!

(and their were a lot) and in general went above and beyond to ensure our HAPPINESS! FYI to bride's who have their reception at the World's Fair Pavilion in Forest Park, your caterer is of the utmost importance! The Pavilion lacks the infrastructure to host an event, so it is really the responsibility of the caterer to bring EVERYTHING needed in and Lizzie was confident that they were familiar with the challenges with the venue and that they could handle it....and boy did they! Lizzie and her team transformed that park pavilion into a DREAM, they even handled all the rentals too! Lastly, I was hoping to have family style food service, with large serving plates passed at a long table, guests could select what they wanted and the portion they wanted it and serve themselves. Lizzie and the Ces & Judy team said that they did not have a lot of experience with this style of food service, but you would have NEVER KNOWN! Service and the food were DELICIOUS! Do yourself a favor and order their Mac & Cheese, it is to DIE for and I heard just the best feedback from all of our guests on how delicious everything was! To summarize my thoughts, you are doing yourself an injustice if you do not give Ces & Judy a call asap, by FAR the best caterer for weddings in STL. Thanks again to Lizzie and her team for helping execute the most perfect day!

beginning to end, they were professional and even coordinated with our baker and wedding designer to ensure that our cocktail hour and reception went perfectly. Not only were they professional, the food was amazing. Several of my guests raved about the food weeks after the wedding. A dear friend, who is a chef and certified foodie, stopped by our head table to congratulate us and to tell us that ALL of the food was amazing. Ces and Judy's was one of the reasons that my wedding day was perfect!

p! Smaller venue for the amount of people we had - but that's a risk I took! Also a little more expensive than other venues but likely comparable to other venues around that location.

ou budget (which I know is one of the most stressful parts about picking a caterer). Ces and Judy's is well worth it. They will not disappoint.

d us through the evening and coordinated with the other vendors and made sure the venue looked beautiful. She was accommodating and pleasant and the servers, bartender, etc were all professional and proper and the night went smoothly. The food was delicious and our guests gave so many compliments about it. They were truly surprised to have had such good food at a wedding. All of a sudden the party was over but that was the ONLY bad part of the evening! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! 😀

'd ever had. Amanda and her team did a fantastic job. I would recommend this venue to absolutely anyone.

maybe she actually was) to me I think and she was my most favorite part. She pushed my chair under me so I could plop (REALLY tight dress) into it and made sure I had everything on my plate (and ate)... I LOVED her. Not only that but the food was delicious and unique. We have received so many compliments about how normal wedding chicken is dry and bland but ours was awesome! Also, we served home style (totally recommended) and most caterers told us no, but they didn't and again everyone LOVED it. I am forever grateful for Ces & Judy's. Thank you for delivering wonderfully delicious food, nice china and linens, and amazing service! You rock!

ow that your special day is in such capable hands. Thank you for everything!!

d seamless. Not only did they cater an amazing and delicious dinner but they also held an amazing cocktail hour for us outside while the flip was done. We had delicious appetizers and awesome drinks for all of our guests. Ces and Judy also did a champagne toast for us and served wine during dinner which was classy and helped us cut down on the bar cost. Amanda was instrumental in the set up of our venue, as it was a smaller venue with limited arrangement options. I knew that putting the arrangements in Amanda's hands was the right decision and we could not have asked for anything to have turned out better. Amanda worked hand in hand with our wedding planner, florist, band, and all other vendors to make everything come together perfectly, did special kids dinners, and discounted dinners for our vendors. Amanda also made it happen when we had several last minute RSVPs including some uninvited guests show up at the wedding. I never had to deal with one little thing the whole day, and could just live in the moment. I would not recommend any other caterer than Ces and Judy for your wedding.

ho attended our wedding raved about the food. I have a gluten allergy as did a few of my guests and they did an incredible job with accommodating us. The food was fantastic and so was the service. We had an action station where the chef's prepared pasta that the guests chose right in front of them! The guests loved it! We also had a beef tenderloin carving station and that was a huge hit. Overall, I would 100% recommend Ces and Judy's to anyone. They were amazing in every way and you will be in incredible hands!

reat. For the most part, working with C&J was lovely. There were some hiccups with communication in terms of a few items in particular that we were very specific about. I do find it frustrating that I was not contacted at all in advance of the wedding to do a review of everything and verify we were all set. I'd definitely hire C&J again, but I would make sure to push for more communication.

ervice and throughout the event. We had many friends in from out of town who remarked that this was really the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Amanda was wonderful! We couldn't be more pleased!

y about anything, all night! It was wonderful. I can't thank the staff at Ces & Judy's enough! You made our wedding a truly enjoyable experience!

ccommodated a special request, and the wait staff was extremely professional and friendly. Would 100 percent use again and recommend.

as in her hands :-) The food was absolutely delicious. It was gourmet but very affordable. I even came in under budget! We went with a buffet so that guests could choose as much or as little as they wanted. I heard from several guests that they were pleasantly surprised with the unique choices (instead of plain chicken we had amazing Sedona chicken with mozzarella and pico de gallo). The appetizers were fun and a yummy (chicken taco paired with a mini margarita...fun!). I had a zillion food allergies (egg, yeast, gluten, garlic, ginger, crab, etc.) and Ces & Judy's accommodated to every single one of them! They are AMAZING! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a stress-free dinner with affordable, delicious food that looks appealing, too!

of Ces & Judy's, we had an elegant and a classy reception any bride could ask for.My husband and I we were very happy with the service that we received.

lp us have an even better reception that we could've ever hoped for. Her creativity, advice, and all the little details that she added to our day was priceless. The venue itself is beautiful, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was so amazing. We received compliment after compliment the night of and in the weeks following the wedding.

e all fun and unique. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a good meal!

was out of this world. Every worry or fear I had about the timing, the food, the service, etc., they completely put it to rest and were so incredibly helpful and kind. The lady who worked closely with us, Amanda, was so fun and great and really made us feel at ease and comfortable with every single thing going on. They not only were so helpful the night of the wedding, but leading up to the wedding, they were so awesome too. They met with us a lot beforehand to make sure the whole night was exactly how we wanted it; they planned the appetizers, dinner and drinks from minute to minute, which was so incredible! They made sure all of the guests were happy throughout the entire night. Using Ces and Judy's, I felt so comfortable the night of the wedding and literally did not have to think for 2 seconds that the food and drinks and guests were not being taken care of perfectly, because I knew they were. Definitely 5 stars for Ces and Judy's -- use them for your wedding or event and you will NOT go wrong!

ts (about 65) let us know! The evening before, I panicked because I couldn't find our marriage license and was convinced I'd left it in a box while setting up in the ball room. One of Ces and Judy's employees insisted on helping me go through boxes after the rehearsal dinner and even picked through a few things in the dumpster! She was also so comforting and forgiving, and I'll never forget it. (It was at home the whole time!) The set up for the food flowed beautifully and the table layout was great. There was plenty of room for everything we wanted, and the food stations were well placed and well attended. One of the best parts was having a plate of food already waiting for my husband and me at our places after the receiving line. Very service oriented...everything went smoothly. We had good advice all along and wouldn't have changed a thing!

oads of decor to pack up and go. I was allowed into the venue a day early so i had plenty of time to decorate, the staff lit the candles so i did not have to worry about that, the food was GREAT, the venue was perfect, all of the staff did everything possible that nite to keep me happy and to check to see if there was anything else they could do. The site is beautiful, the event was perfect, and the help to pack up was made much easier bc the staff removed all of the chair covers, and grouped everything else together so I could pack and go. I will recommend this venue to ANYONE!!!

were looking for and went with it. She asked me if I was okay with not knowing all of the details of her plan until the day of, and because of how comfortable she made me, I honestly was. She couldn't resist sending me a few hint emails throughout the process though, which was pretty cool. We settled on our menu during our tasting and everything was amazing. It was hard to narrow it down! At the reception, Amanda went above and beyond the call of caterer. She not only provided delicious food, unique table settings and linens, but also a great wait staff and incredible decorations which I was not expecting at all. Our friends and family still comment on how great the food was and the reception venue told us they had never had a catering company come in who had done such a great job before. Choosing Ces and Judy's was the one of the easiest, least stressful, and hands down best decisions we made in wedding planning.

salad with dill. I highly recommend Ces and Judy's. It was definitely the right choice for us.

iful. It fit our 130 guests perfectly. The food was the icing on the cake. Chicken Sedona was the definite favorite.

both the ceremony and reception (ball) room and tall windows for plenty of light in the ballroom as well. My guests raved about the venue and the food. The service staff were friendly, looked professional and kept the food flowing at the reception. We were so glad we found this venue. I would highly recommend them.

She also was very helpful in getting the chair covers there on Friday as well. She had sure we were happy with everything and I admit I emailed her alot and she was on top of that with replying to me as quickly as she could.

helpful, organized and really a pleasure to work with.

e we had to keep on visiting with our large crowd. We enjoyed the quick meal, as well as had a lot of guests say it was great as well! We loved them.

aff. You could see a really sweet sense of pride in providing a great (and much needed) meal on people's special day!

's prime rib was cold when served, and others felt the prime rib was too rare. The wedding package was a good deal though and included appetizers, the cake, and a full bar!

them to anyone!

told me it was inconvenient and unreasonable to ask for a tasting at any time other than noon M-F, told me food costs are increasing so of course the food prices would increase (after signing a contract), and was just overall rude. I guess they think they can continue on just reputation and low prices instead of actually providing good service. I've never actually written a review before, but this experience left such a bad taste in my mouth that i felt I had to share it with other brides.

was great, beef was just ok), 3 sides (pasta, rice pilaf & green beans were all great), the champagne used in the toast was great, the white chocolate ice cream bon bon was small but good. They did all of the table set-up, provided nice table numbers and also provided a cake cutting knife. The staff was friendly and helpful.

n't want to sacrifice taste!

rooms and the straw-cut squash and carrots. The staff was courteous and professional, and they even cleaned up the mess my young cousin made. My parents were happy with the detail of the price estimates and the efficiency of the contract revisions they went through.
