Derry with Englund Catering catered my wedding on 6/1/2024. When my husband and I were looking into caterers for our wedding at the end of 2023, we decided to contact Derry, as he was a preferred caterer for our venue. Our first and only tasting was with Englund Catering. We were so impressed by the tasting that we booked with Derry. It was truly an amazing tasting experience. Derry is also so personable, kind hearted, and knowledgeable. Leading up to the wedding, Derry was responsive to all of my questions and last minute edits. His menu is not only affordable, but delicious and plentiful as well! We also opted into his bartender option, which enhanced the experience for our guests.
I found Derry to be one of the most reasonable priced caterers for our wedding. When I told other caterers our budget, they would immediately end the call. Derry worked within our budget and we were able to feed our 150 guests multiple times! We've gotten rave reviews from our guests, who were so delighted with the appetizers, drinks, and food!
Our menu included:
- stuffed mushrooms: delicious and savory and very filling
- jumbo shrimp and cocktail sauce: very yummy
- Pear and gorgonzola salad: awesome and delicious dressing! the candied walnuts were an excellent touch
- Scallion butter rice: not as delicious as the mashed potatoes
- garlic mashed potatoes: SO GOOD. Highly recommend.
- Steamed veggies with hollandaise sauce: Hollandaise was so rich and luscious
- Atlantic salmon with dill sauce and capers: EXCELLENT and truly a guest favorite
- Marsala Chicken: Also a crowd favorite. The chicken, even without the sauce, is so good!
Derry is a true professional. He has a lot of years of experience under his belt and it truly shows. Derry even met with us at our venue prior to the wedding to make sure the schematics were in order for the venue manager. Derry and his team just know what they're doing. Service and prep was so smooth. Even at the end of the night, Derry and the team took care of all of the cleanup. I highly recommend contacting Derry for your upcoming wedding. I especially recommend his services for big weddings. Weddings can be expensive and stressful, but with Englund Catering, you will have support, menu and cost options, and delicious food!!!
Great service and very fair prices. Food was amazing and they had so many different options to choose from. We went with their base package and did not want to change anything, it was perfect as is. Very professional servers at the wedding, willing to help with whatever we needed.
Derry and Englund’s Cafe & Catering provided all of the appetizers and buffet dinner for our October wedding at Deer Park Villa. Derry and his crew did an amazing job and we received so many compliments on how great the food was. Derry was very professional, knowledgeable, and very familiar with the venue. We did a food tasting, and met with him at the venue prior to the wedding to go over everything. We planned the wedding from out of town, and he was very flexible to meet our schedule and limited availability. Other than selecting the food and colors of linens, they took care of everything. On the wedding day, we had nothing to worry about. They set up exactly as we had envisioned, served, and cleaned up everything without any problems. They even set aside a plate of appetizers to make sure we were able to eat. On top of that, they did everything at a very reasonable price. We are so happy Derry catered our wedding!
Derry and his staff did an amazing job! During the wedding they took complete control over the food and drinks and I got to enjoy every moment of my wedding. My husband and I enjoyed our dinner just as much as each one of our guests did. I would definitely recommend this company!
To anyone who has thought "it's no big deal, we can figure out the food for our own wedding - it'll be cheaper anyway": unless you're a professional caterer, DON'T DO IT. Hiring and expert like Derry makes your life SO MUCH EASIER!! His food is generous and delicious, his advice is spot-on, and his prices are super reasonable.
We got married 6 months ago, and our venue had 2 suggested vendors, so we set up meetings with each of them, figuring that'd be a logical place to start. The first place was set up to impress us and the food was fancy and tasty (and spendy). The second was Derry Englund's. Instead of trying to impress us with dainty little bites, Derry served us a sample of what our dinner could be. He had us at the first course - never before have I exclaimed so much about the complexities of a salad, but it was absolutely delicious, and so was everything else. I'm a vegetarian and my husband is a carnivore - both of us left sated, happy, and impressed. All of our interactions with Derry went that way (he lets you come in and try new options as many times as you need to, until you're satisfied - it's a good thing we don't live closer, or we might never have left).
Spectacular food aside, Derry also dealt with linens, bartender, and other details that we, therefore, didn't have to worry about.
Six months later, we still get compliments on how great the food was, and how well things went. In flavor, quantity, quality, and peace of mind, I'd recommend Englund's to anyone who is planning a catered gathering, from a birthday party to a national event, and everything in between.
The food was amazing. I am still getting calls telling us how great the food was. The pricing was a little high but they did EVERYTHING for us! I would do it a hundred times over with this cateer!
Derry Englund is so easy going and does all he can to make your wedding food Delicious. Affordable and puts everything together well.
Derry and his crew were amazing - from the time of our tasting to the end of our wedding, they were accommodating, helpful, and made our day special... Not to mention the food was delicious.
I have never met anyone as friendly, nice and better to work with in the catering industry than Derry Englund. And the food - absolutely amazing...I received so many compliments at our wedding on how good our food was and the service was top notch!! Couldn't have asked for anything more from them.
The prices were good, the staff was fantastic and very professional, and the food was amazing! (And that's coming from a very picky eater.)
I would reccommend them to everyone getting married in the Bay Area.
