My husband and I just recently got married at the Garden at the Hops in Derby, CT. Dave Grant Caterers was one of the preferred vendors recommended by the venue and it was easy to see why! We booked last summer with Dave; he was very responsive to our emails and made the menu planning an exciting and easy process. Not only were his options affordable, but the food was absolutely delicious!!! We keep getting feedback from our friends and family who raved about the food! Crowd favorite hors d'oeuvres were definitely the philly eggrolls, snow crab rangoons, and the bacon wrapped scallops. Dave's team was so professional, kind, and incredibly hard working. They made everything run so smoothly, including serving 210 guests buffet-style!!! They also were frequently checking in on my husband and I to make sure we got enough to eat!! Can't say enough positive things about our experience- highly recommend Dave Grant Caterers for their amazing value and delicious food.

David Grant Caterers made our wedding day so special! We were able to have everything we wanted, customized to our needs with high quality, at an affordable price. I would highly recommend them! Not only did they work with us to our specific needs, but their staff was attentive to us on our wedding day and ensured that we enjoyed all the food, along with making sure our guests were taken care of. The food was high-quality and delicious; a truly five-star experience!

The experience we had with David M. Grant Caterers was nothing short of outstanding. We worked directly with Trevor Brinsmade through the entire process. Trevor's professionalism and responsiveness were stellar. The planning process was straightforward and very accommodating to our needs. It was very easy to communicate by both phone and email, receiving very timely responses. Wedding day service was right on schedule, prompt, and the wait staff was very attentive to our guests and the wedding party. We received compliments from many of our guests on the service and excellent quality of the appetizers and dinner entrees. We did not receive a single criticism or complaint. We could not be more satisfied with Dave Grant Caterers, and we highly recommend them without reservation for your catering needs.

Dave Grants team was absolutely amazing. We had the privilege of working with them for our wedding in August at The Garden at The Hops. Everything went extremely smooth. The guests were amazed and are still raving about the food. They were willing to accommodate dietary restrictions as well. I would absolutely use them again in the future.

I would highly recommend David Grant Caterers! They were absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, our guests loved everything amd nobody walked away hungry! The staff was incredibly attentive to myself and my husband and would go out of their way to find us to make sure we ate. Our day of coordinator was Will and he made made sure everything ran smoothly. He told me his motto was "where there is Will there's a way" and he stood by that! Thank you so much to Will and the full team for making our day that much more special!

My husband and I recently got married on October 13th and we used David Grant Caterers and couldn’t be more pleased with every aspect of the food!!! They were so accommodating throughout the process and the day of the wedding, they were absolutely amazing! They made my husband and I plates of our hors d’oeuvres to make sure we were able to eat. Will was the venue with us the day of and came around to us multiple times to make sure we ate and to see if we needed anything. The food was FANTASTIC!!! I couldn’t be more pleased and happy with the food quality, taste and service they provided!

We used Dave Grant Catering for our food service, bar service, and extra rentals for our wedding and could not be happier with our choice. The team was professional, responsive, and accommodating throughout the planning process. On our wedding day, they arrived on time, prepared, and had a whole staff full of smiles. Every small detail we had discussed in prior emails was executed just as I imagined. The food was amazing, better than what we could have imagined, and we still have guests raving about it. We recommend Dave Grant Catering services for any upcoming event you may have! 10/10 =)

The food was great! People RAVED about it! It was a treat to get the leftovers packed for us, too— fed the family for a few days, which was perfect because wedding planning is tiring!

Dave Grant was absolutely wonderful to work with. He helped me get everything I needed coordinated, his day of staff were amazing and did a great job. The food was also really good and we received many compliments throughout the night and even the rest of the weekend from guests. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose this company, it really helped make my day much less stressful.

David Grant Caterers was a highlight of my wedding. The food was absolutely amazing, the planning was super stress free, and his staff was top notch professionals! His team constantly check in on me as the bride for food and drinks, kept the tables clear and the assisted with all the set up and break down at our venue. They also booked and set the up chair rentals for my on site wedding so it really was as stress free as possible! The price was also great!! Well worth it! Do yourself a favor and book this caterer!

Dave & his team were absolutely phenomenal. We used Dave Grant Catering for our August wedding. Dave was one of the most responsive vendors we worked with - answering my list of questions during our initial phone call, and responding my email always within 24 hours. Dave was flexible in creating appetizers for our cocktail that we felt fit our theme/venue perfectly. Our guests had so many kind things to say about the appetizers and dinner - everything was hot and fresh. Dave himself is excellent to work with, and his staff meet the same standard. Will was the event manager at our wedding and he made sure everything was perfect. One of the waitresses, Alexis, was an absolute gem, making me a plate during cocktail hour to make sure I ate as well. We can't recommend Dave and his team enough and are so grateful that they were available to be a part of our wedding day.

My husband and I chose the cold buffet along with a few hors d'oeuvres to be served at our wedding and it was amazing. We met with Dave in person the week before the wedding to finalize all details and he made it easy to work with him. He truly wanted to know what we wanted for our wedding and worked to make it happen. His staff arrived to the venue on time and with plenty of time to spare. The presentation was beautiful and the food tasted great! Pricing was reasonable and well worth every penny. We even had leftovers we could take home so my family could relax and not have to cook for a few days. We would recommend David Grant Caterers to anyone looking for a caterer who cares. Our wedding day was perfect and we could not have done it without him!

We have used them for a few occasions and will continue to recommend them to friends and family!!

Absolutely horrible. Food was over cooked and cold. Staff was clueless. Ruined my daughters wedding. Monkeys could have served the food better. Steak was like shoe leather. Wouldn't feed the left overs to a dog.

We recently used David Grant Catering for a cocktail wedding reception at the Beardsley Zoo. I would use them again in a heartbeat. They were so flexible and accommodated every request we had. The service was so friendly and professional and all of the food was completely delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests. And while I didn't eat much at the wedding (like most brides!) we had SO many leftovers to eat for a week after the wedding!

We used David Grant Caterers for our wedding at Wood Acres Farm in Terryville, CT and would highly recommend them. Dave and his staff are very knowledgable and professional, all at a rate that we found very reasonable. They provided catering and bartending services for our wedding and also provided all the glassware and dining ware. Dave has been in business over 30 years and really knows how to run a catering service.

AMAZING. We got married at Lighthouse Point Park and two caterers were recommended to us. We checked out both and David Grant was BY FAR THE BEST CHOICE! He was great to work with and guests are still raving about the food.

We LOVED the food provided by David M. Grant Caterers. We did not want your typical wedding choices for our menu but instead wanted a buffet that matched our country theme. There were so many great choices and we ended up with items like bbq pulled pork, mac & cheese, etc
Everyone loved it!!
Also, the servers that were there on the wedding day were professional and friendly! Even going out of their way to find us and Congratulate us :)
I highly recommend David M. Grant Caterers !

David Grant Caterers were amazing. We wanted something low key and they did a wonderful job. The only thing I was a little upset with was I told them that we wanted food ready for the guests to eat right after the ceremony. That way they could eat while we were getting our photos taken. The didn't start the food until they got the OK from us, which was much later. Other than that, they did a great job. I would recommend them for any event.

Until recently my fiancee and her mother had been in email contact and phone contact with David Grant Caterers about our wedding. David Grant had told them that they were available on the day of our wedding to cater the reception. They asked for all the details as well as ideas about the menu. Everything was given to them as asked. When my fiancee sent an email to them last week to inquire about something in the menu, she received no response. When she sent a second email, David Grant responded that they had never received the first email and that, furthermore, that date had been booked for quite some time. If they had, in fact, been books for quite some time, why did they ask for our details, let us know that they were available, and lead us to a month before the wedding to think that they were our caterer? Either they made a very bad mistake in their date book, or they are so unprofessional that they booked a more lucrative event on the same day without telling us that they would have to let us go. Either way, they acted unprofessionally and will never get my business. I will make sure that everyone I know understands that David Grant Catering is an unprofessional and untrustworthy business.

We had trays catered, of italian roasted chicked and tortellini primavera. The caterers were not available to provide other catering service on the day of our wedding, as we were planning things at the last minute. However, they delivered the food right on time, early I think, and it was delicious! everyone loved the food!

David worked with us to develop a meal that was representative of all of the food we enjoy. He
David's support staff is amazing!!!!! They made our wedding spectacular and truly one to remember.
We had the ceremony on the beach and the staff set up the chairs outdoors and even brought them back inside to the tables.
The wedding started late (as most wedings do) so there was a rush to get the pictures taken but the staff ensured the wedding party paused and ate some appetizers.
Our family style dinner went well. The staff replenished the bowls of dishes as needed for our guests.
The staff was pleasant, helpful and knowlegdeable of special meal for specfic guests.
The staff helped to make our wedding like a fairytale.
Thank you David and your entire staff!!
