We were thrilled with Partyman Catering for our wedding – they truly went above and beyond! The food was outstanding, with each dish flavorful, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully tailored to our preferences. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the meal, and those with dietary restrictions felt especially cared for. The service was impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who made everyone feel special. From planning to presentation, Partyman was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented, ensuring every aspect of the dining experience was perfect. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional wedding catering!
We were introduced to Partyman through both our venue and planner. From the beginning they were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We chose hand-passed appetizers and a plated style meal service and while it was a big undertaking, they did a great job on the wedding day! Not only did our guests rave about the service, but they raved about the food as well. Highly recommend Partyman for all of your catering needs!
We're so grateful to May and the staff of Partyman for the amazing work they did for our wedding. May specifically went above and beyond to make our day special. We got countless compliments for the food that was served and for how beautifully it was presented. We are also thankful for how accommodating the team was for any changes.
We used Partyman Catering for our wedding and they were fabulous! Abbie took care of us every step of the way during the planning, our service at our reception was phenomenal, and the food was GREAT! Definitely would recommend!
We hired Partyman Catering for our wedding and had a wonderful experience! They were responsive and easy to work with during the planning process. We were able to completely customize our menu to our liking. On wedding day, they were professional, prompt, and on top of everything! The food was set up beautifully and it was delicious! We got many compliments from guests on the food. We would highly recommend Partyman Catering!
We had PartyMan at our wedding on September 28th at the Annex WNY. We cant put into words how thankful we are for this company. Ever since our wedding we have had so many people come up to us telling us how amazing our food was and how the waitress went above and beyond to make our day so special and perfect. We had Stephanie working with us from day one. She helped us pick our menu early on in the wedding planning process and was there until the day everything came to life. We also worked with Jolene as well who was always there to answer any questions we had. We also got a quick response no matter what time of day it was. We cannot recommend PartyMan enough. There is not enough words for how thankful we are for them and their amazing team. PartyMan will always have a special place in our heart.
* Partyman was our caterer at our wedding in September 2024, and working with them was easy and informative. Before our wedding, we were able to sample many of their popular wedding menu items and we ended up changing our whole idea after the tasting! The Partyman team works to provide you with the best experience and ensure you enjoy the food. The customer service is incredible and they pay attention to every detail. If you hire Partyman Catering, you will have people talking about the food at your wedding for months to come!
I used Partyman Catering for my wedding this past weekend and all I can say is WOW! They did an amazing job, the food was incredible and they timed everything perfectly throughout the evening. I heard from several guests how good the food was, and their staff made sure my husband and I never went hungry throughout the busy evening. I couldn't recommend them any higher! Thank you Partyman!
We had a truly wonderful experience working with Partyman for our son’s rehearsal dinner at the Lake House on Canandaigua. Abbie was amazing in our planning process and in ensuring everything went smoothly on the night of our event (it did!). Everyone we interacted with was professional, friendly and helpful, and our food was EXCEPTIONAL. All in all, a delightful experience, Highly recommend!
If you want your guests raving about the food, this is the vendor for you! We opted for a buffet style with plated salads and bread baskets, and Partyman Catering exceeded all our expectations from the start. Their incredible food tasting event and beautiful display set the tone for our experience.
Their communication was excellent, and they made us feel like royalty on our wedding day. Everything went seamlessly. They checked on us regularly, offered seconds if we wanted, and even packed leftovers in to-go containers with personalized notes for us and our parents.
The service was professional, kind, and exactly what we hoped for. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Partyman Catering!
Best food ever!!!! We had Partyman for our wedding at The Annex WNY on 6/22/24. From the start, Partyman has been extremely flexible and personable. We completely customized our buffet to which they were very open to. When we went to their tasting, we were able to see how they transform their space so flawlessly (and taste all the delicious food- it was hard to choose!!) We even added a late night snack that was so unique (chicken and waffle cones). They are incredibly in depth to take care of everyone (dietary restrictions, immediate family being taken care of, accessibility concerns). We have gotten so many compliments on the food. I’m so grateful for their efficiency and delicious food!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Partyman Catering for our wedding, and we are thrilled to share our exceptional experience. From start to finish, they were amazing to work with, displaying remarkable sensitivity to the tricky family dynamics that inevitably arise during wedding planning. Their professionalism and ability to provide options that worked for everyone were truly commendable.
Planning a wedding involves numerous details, and finding a caterer who excels in every aspect is rare. Partyman Catering not only met but exceeded our expectations in every category. They provided exceptional partnering ahead of the wedding, offering valuable guidance and support. Their service during the wedding was outstanding, ensuring that our guests were well taken care of.
The food was delicious, and the presentation was stunning, perfectly in line with our vision. We found that many caterers tend to have strengths in just one area, but Partyman Catering knocked it out of the park in every category. We are forever grateful for the love and professionalism they poured into our special day. They truly made our wedding unforgettable.
Thank you, Partyman Catering, for making our dream wedding a reality!
Partyman is an amazing all-inclusive caterer. The food, linens, and diningware we used for our wedding were all provided by Partyman, and they have so much more to offer as well! The entire team is very professional and easy to communicate with. The food itself is amazing, and they have so many different options! Everyone who attended our wedding raved about how good the food was. We will definitely keep Partyman in mind if we need a caterer for future events!
My husband and I got married in October of 2023 and used Partyman Catering for our wedding day and it was INCREDIBLE! We are so thrilled with our decision (and so were our guests)! If you were thinking about using them, look no further! The food was delicious and the staff were very professional and made our planning extremely easy!
Partyman, thank you again!!
Amazing team. Communication great. All staff was kind and helpful. The food was great. They neatly packed up all of our food. Gave trays to parents as well. It was great. I would use them again for any event.
My husband and I just got married this past weekend on 10/28/23. We can’t say enough good things about this vendor! Our wedding day transitioned seamlessly from our cocktail hour to our reception. The entire process was enjoyable from planning to our wedding day. Our families and friends raved about the food and the staff being incredible. As the bride and groom, we felt so special when the staff checked in with us throughout the night. They were so friendly and attentive. We would highly recommend them.
If you haven’t had their honey butter… you should hire them just to try it! Their food was delicious and their service was hands down the best I’ve ever experienced! I still dream of the veggie lasagna and I know I’m not the only one based on how many guests have asked where the food was from- delicious and amazing!
We just got married on 9/16/23 and used them and I cannot recommend them enough! From the moment we signed the contract to the end of the wedding they were phenomenal. The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, an overall amazing company! Worth every single penny!
I hired Partyman for my wedding and their service was truly the best from planning to execution.
The food was phenomenal and the team went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of, including following us around during our photo session with snacks and drinks.
They made sure the night was on schedule and everyone was very impressed with the quality of everything they put out.
I absolutely loved having them. If I had to do it over again I'd pick Partyman every single time and I'd splurge for the late-night snacks.
Look no further for the best catering company for anything you could need!
We cannot say enough Thanks and Praise for Paige and the Partyman team for making our wedding day incredible! They handled our bar services, extra long cocktail hour, and beautiful family style dinner for 100 guests with ease and delivered on every tiny detail we asked for. The guests raved about the food and the service and that made our day that much more special. Thank you for everything!
Partyman is hands down the best choice to go with in the Greater Rochester Area! Partyman catered our wedding and rehearsal dinners over the weekend and they did not fall short! Stephanie was the lead point in coordinating every little detail to pull off one of the greatest weekends of our lives. She took the time to answer any and all my questions (no matter how ridiculous), she suggested awesome ideas, she was extremely punctual, and always went above and beyond. Partyman is full of professionalism and class. Every guest who attended our wedding cannot stop RAVING about how delicious the food tasted, the artistic element in how things were set up, and how polite the staff was throughout the evening. Overall, we are extremely pleased with Partyman on every level and HIGHLY recommend their service to anyone and everyone! Partyman - thank you for being a part of a magical weekend. We could not have done it without you!!!
Partyman gave us what we were looking for and more! Our guests raved about the food! The servers were all attentive and courteous, things moved along smoothly and seamlessly. On more than a few occasions I had one of our guests comment to me about how wonderful your staff was! I’m not sure what I would have done without Gabby all day, she was everywhere! The bartenders , servers and staff worked tirelessly.
We were very pleased with all of our rental linens and table settings.
Our whole experience has been a very pleasant one and would highly recommend Partyman Catering to anyone for your next event!
Partyman was one of the preferred caterers for our venue (the Historic German House) and we could not be happier with our choice! Our family and friends raved about the food at the wedding. Throughout the planning process, Partyman was very organized, responsive, and easy to work with. We would highly recommend!
We were so amazingly pleased with Partyman. From the excellent planning to ensuring any help with paying invoices online, to the exquisite execution of the day of the event--the food was absolutely phenomenal and the kind faces serving our food made it that much better. Every person who came to our wedding was still raving about the food and was so happy with how everyone was treated with such great respect and kindness. Thank you!!
Wow! They did an amazing job! Food was great, our only mistake was plastic silverware. They had plenty of staff on site, they made the bride and groom feel special with 2 staff members showing up with their private cheese platter and drinks of choice right after the ceremony and helping them gather their food through the buffet line. Staff were available to clear away dishes as guest finished meals!
Amazing job!
Probably the easiest choice for our wedding was hiring Partyman Catering. They came highly recommended from our venue and we were not disappointed. All staff that we interacted with were incredibly professional and knew their stuff. We worked with Amanda Paige closely and she was the absolute best. I swear I sent her hundreds of emails during the 1.5 year planning process, and she always responded promptly with very detailed answers to my questions. On the day of the wedding, she was there for most of it and I was able to truly just relax and enjoy the day knowing that they would handle all of the timeline and details during the reception. 10/10 service. I also want to commend their chefs and bartenders. They made custom margaritas (blood orange and hibiscus) that guests raved about, and the chicken and waffles was a fan favorite. I know most people don't get to eat all they want on their wedding day, but Partyman knew it was important to us and brought my husband and I our appetizers and meals so we could enjoy the food before socializing. I also loved how they were able to customize the menu and desserts for us based on family tradition. You cannot go wrong with them!
Partyman was amazing from the first time we sat down with them and started our contract! Paige whom we worked closely with was so amazing and and patient with us. She was so attentive and really made sure our day was more than perfect. The food was amazing, our guests spoke highly of how this was the best wedding food they ever had lol! Id recommended party times to any and everyone !"
Partyman was incredible from start to finish! They were responsive over email, worked so well with our venue and provided us with some of the best wedding food I've ever had. They were attentive to our requests regarding allergies and other dietary restrictions, and packed up leftovers for us at the end of the night to take home!
We had nothing but an absolutely positive experience with Partyman!! From the high quality & delicious food to the top notch service, my husband, Rob, and I were so thrilled with our choice of wedding caterer. After the wedding, our guests raved about how delicious the food was. My husband and I also requested that our service be family style so that our guests could try multiple different dishes and to increase conversation at the table especially for those who may not know each other. Partyman pulled this off flawlessly! In addition to the amazing food, the service was outstanding. In one particular moment throughout the dinner service, the event lead (shout out Marji!) came over to the head table and asked my sister (my MOH) what she needed. She was so nervous to give the speech so my sister explained to her why she was holding off on dinner due to her nerves. She was shown nothing but kindness from the Partyman staff and they said they completely understood and that they would be there whenever she needed anything. This was a small moment, but it meant so much to me to see that level of kindness during the wedding reception. With all that said, we could not recommend Partyman more highly to cater your wedding!
Partyman was a great choice for catering our wedding. The service was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and willing to go above and beyond - they were even willing to help our wedding party pull off a fun prank. Our guests also loved the food (get the honey smoked chicken!).
We used Partyman because they are the exclusive caterer of the venue we used for our wedding. I would divide our experience with Partyman into two pieces: leading up to our event and the day of. Leading up to our event, we went through at least 3 event coordinators. I know events, like many other industries, experienced a lot of staff turnover after COVID. However, the client experience definitely suffered from the turnover at Partyman. If felt a little bit like we were starting over those 3+ times. I don't think Partyman could have done anything differently in the 2022 job market but it did impact the experience we had with them. In comparison, the day of experience was incredible. The staff that worked our wedding was professional and caring. We felt like we were first priority and didn't have to worry about food or drinks all night long. We are still getting compliments on the food, including the vegan meals (of which there were multiple to choose from).
With our venue we had to use them which was fine at first. We had at least 3 different planners while planning our wedding, no biggie, but every time a new one came along they had no idea what was already talked about. We were to get married in Aug 2022 but covid hit and we had to move to Oct 2022. We understood it would be hard to move things around with those we had booked. We moved everything up in the day so we could accommodate Partyman having to leave at 8:30pm instead of 11pm due to other events. When we got in to the reception they brought us our drinks, they had marked down the wrong beer and when we told them that what they brought wasnt right they rolled their eyes and got frustrated with us. The 1 request that was at the top of the contract bold and !'s was completely messed up. There was supposed to be a seat set for my late father. Never was set. My sister and mom got a setting and then the crew kept removing it even though my family said no don't and there was a sign on it. My wife's family got served then all the other guess before my family even got called, they knew where my family was sitting. They then made all our guess feel rushed to eat their dinner so they could clear the tables. When the cake was served instead of asking us what the flavors were they just guessed and were telling people the wrong kind. Thankfully we didn't have anyone with a food allergy. We also go smores to be done later in the night but they pushed us to do it right after cake which we missed because we were off getting pictures done. The last hour of the bar was to be cash. They tried to pull a fast one and close it completely down. When I said no go to cash bar as we planned the bartender rolled her eyes at me. We were so frustrated and upset we ended up ending our wedding night early because of them. They completely ruined our wedding!! For how much we spent it shouldn't have ended like it did! I will never use them or recommend them to anyone!
My husband, Alex, and I can’t give Partyman enough stars!! We just had the most wonderful wedding that they catered! They were amazing to work with and beyond willing to help us with what we pictured for our big day! We went with a more traditional wedding menu but they worked with some changes we requested like Irish soda bread with an amazing cinnamon butter (our guests said it was better that TRH!) we asked for seasonal pies which was no problem and when we saw they had late night bites we were sold! Our guests raved about the food and the soft pretzel bar was the cherry on top! We highly recommend partyman for your wedding or next big event! Great food and even better staff!! Thank you so much!
Partyman is the go-to caterer in the Rochester area, They’re well known for a reason, and that’s because they’re good at what they do. Our day-of point person, Gabby, was an absolute angel. Every time I turned around she had a drink waiting for me and she made she we were taken care of all night. I loved her so much 😂. The food was also incredible, my faves were the yeast rolls 🤤🤤 and the strawberry spinach salad. They were great with all my questions and I felt confident our day would go smoothly with them on our team.
We cannot recommend Partyman enough to anyone who is looking for a catering vendor for any event! We had them booked for our wedding. Throughout the planning stages, we worked with about 6 different people in total and each of them were nothing but helpful and worked cohesively, there was never any disconnect from one another! During the wedding, the food was superb and the staff were extremely friendly and had great hospitality! We received feedback from guests that they were blown away by the quality and taste of their food. We had a buffet-style wedding and guests emphasized never experiencing such quality in a buffet. Cannot emphasize the need to BOOK Partyman if you want quality and professionalism!!
It is not possible for me to speak highly enough of Partyman Catering. They were incredible to work with from start to finish. I came to them wanting a vegan mexican food concept for my wedding and they were excited to dive right in and create something special. The food at my wedding was delicious and beyond expectation. Everyone was complimenting the food! And the service was out of this world. The coordinators I worked with at Partyman were attentive, responsive, kind, and detail-oriented. They made sure everything we needed was covered. I highly recommend working with Partyman Catering. You will be blown away by their service and quality!!
Quite simply, if your question is: "Should I go with Partyman Catering?" .... before you can even finish the sentence, the answer is an emphatic, "YES!" You absolutely should and you will be beyond happy with the results.
They go above and beyond and I have never worked with a more accommodating company.
My husband and I chose Partyman for our June 2022 backyard wedding for a couple of reasons: first of all, we had been stalking them on Instagram and loved what we saw but we also liked that it allowed us to support a local business.
From the beginning Partyman made our decision and the process incredibly easy. They are happy to work with you to create exactly what you want -- you are not pigeon-holed into a handful of restrictive packages with limited selections. You are able to customize to truly make your event just what you want -- from the food and drinks to the linens right down to the water glasses and the utensils.
From our first meeting the message was: the more we know about your event, the better so we can execute it and we instantly felt comfortable and throughout the process realized just how much they meant that.
Partyman Catering leads with confidence and over delivers.
We worked with Amanda who was incredibly helpful, thorough and made sure every thing looked beautiful and ran like clockwork. We wanted to include beer from our local brewery for our guests and it was no problem. She helped facilitate that. She helped set up the reception space, lit candles and probably about a million other details I don't even know about. She was a joy to work with and she makes it look easy and I know it's not.
As for the food, people are still talking about it -- wistfully, in that way that they would drive miles to have it again. We had the opportunity to sample it at our tasting so we knew we loved it but it was amazing to see everyone else enjoying it as much as we did.
Overall, it's rare to find a company that is so organized and delivers such quality product and service but is also warm, inviting and friendly.
Partyman is the real deal and we really can't thank them enough but can certainly spread the word that they are five star plus.
We booked Partyman Catering for our wedding reception, and the experience was amazing! We were able to customize a menu according to our tastes and wants, and they delivered. The food itself was amazing, and we received many compliments from our guests. The bar was running very smoothly as well, with drinks flowing. Most importantly, the Partyman staff across the board were fantastic, friendly and professional. We fully recommend Partyman if they’re available on your event date!
Our buffet was by far the best food we've had at a wedding! And I'm not just saying that because it was our wedding. :) Everyone was very pleased and kept talking about the food all night!! Partyman was very accommodating when we changed our buffet selections before and after the tasting event. The tasting event was also helpful and delicious! We highly recommend partyman caterers!
Partyman was the recommended caterer for our venue but I still insisted on researching our other options. I thought maybe I would be able to find a hidden gem with food just as good, or cheaper pricing, or better reviews, but I could not! We researched and got quotes from at least 10 caterers and Partyman was still the best. And, this was before our wedding process even began! Once we booked them, they were amazingly flexible (I think we changed our contract/menu at least 5 times), they kept up on communication, and they had contingency plans in place in case something went wrong. During our event, the staff kept the tables clean, were amazing at making sure people had access to seconds (they didn't try to pack up too quickly like I've seen others do), the staff was not pushy in picking up plates that were left for a quick moment (something I get personally annoyed with), and they were amazing at replenishing our dessert table when my family couldn't wait for us to cut the cake and started early on our donuts. If I had to do it all over again, I would book Partyman in a heartbeat. I'm still eating some of the leftovers and even those are still so yummy.
We were referred to this caterer by our venue. Promptly returned calls and very helpful at going over all details. Have quotes organized and very detailed. Thought of many things that I didn’t even consider. Provide a free tasting event for bride and groom, which was very helpful. Entire staff professional and helpful. Highly recommend.
Partyman was the absolute best choice we made for our wedding. The planners were extremely supportive and easy to access during our planning process, especially when we had to postpone due to Covid. They put us at ease and we knew we were in good hands. The day of execution was seamless, efficient, and everyone was so kind. The food itself was even better than we could have ever imagined. Everything was hot and delicious and we got compliments all night and for many days following! We cannot thank or recommend Partyman enough!
We worked with Partyman for the food for our reception and they did not disappoint! Amanda was amazing to work with and helped us to work within our budget and all of our dietary needs. It was important to us that we could make sure that both our guests could eat a full meal, regardless of dietary restrictions, and that my husband could eat everything that was available (he allergic to dairy, nuts, and shellfish). The food was absolutely AMAZING and everyone was able to eat without having to worry about allergens. Partyman labeled all of the dishes and ensured that no one had to guess if there was something they couldn’t eat in the food that was served. Not the mention the charcuterie board was unreal! It was all everyone talked about. We highly recommend Partyman for all of your catering needs!
Partyman Catering is literally everything you want in a caterer. They are responsive, they are flexible, they are reasonably priced, and their food is amazing. We used them for our wedding which was a mix of hand passed and stationed apps, a buffet dinner, and late night snacks. We got tons of compliments about the food- 10/10 would recommend.
It was an easy decision to hire Partyman after many of the venues we toured highly recommended them to us.
They are very responsive and worked through a COVID date change & a last minute venue change with us and are very organized! Their office staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating and their service staff was lovely and so polite as well.
We received SO many compliments on our food (their pulled pork is to die for!) and my husband and I agreed that it was the best catered meal we've had at a wedding to date!
There were also smaller touches that Partyman brought to the table, such as Paige not only being incredibly helpful and friendly, but also that she made sure to bring our first drink out to us immediately following our ceremony. Her and Joe also came through and were able to spruce up the venue with gorgeous draping that really tied our venue together!
I cannot recommend Partyman enough, they were a pleasure to work with!
We went with Partyman for our wedding and they did not disappoint! They let us customize our menu and everyone complimented us on the food. Everything was delicious and they even offered desserts (we picked mini pies and cheesecakes). They were amazing!
Loved Partyman Catering!! They were awesome to work with and the food was awesome!!!
Partyman was great to work with for our wedding! From all the COVID changes to the day of, they were always responsive, honest, and open to changes. The services was great during our reception and all of our guests could not stop talking about how tasty the food was! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a great professional cater with high quality service!
We could not have been more pleased with Partyman Catering - the food display/presentation was just beautiful, the food was excellent, and we couldn't be more grateful for how quickly and smoothly Sarah and her team helped us pull together a menu within our budget, especially on such short notice (just 8 days, thanks to COVID)! Everyone loved the make-your-own charcuterie boards, and we were honored to have Chef Joe at the helm (especially given the short notice) to help make our wedding as special as it was. I cannot recommend Partyman highly enough!
Emma and the Partyman Catering team were a dream to work with!!! Covid 19 changed our plans at least 4 time, from a 225 person buffet to a 50 person plated meal, Emma was there for us every step of the way!!!! My guests are still talking about the tuscan charcuterie table and their dinner!!
