Stoddards was a great caterer for our wedding. Their pricing was very reasonable and their communication was great. We opted for a buffet dinner and received a lot of compliments...
on the food. Since Stoddards is also a meat market, I feel that the quality of ingredients in the food was high and contributed to an overall delicious meal for a large crowd. I would highly recommend working with Stoddards catering for your wedding!
We chose Stoddards as our wedding caterer and I am very glad we did! From the very beginning when we were doing tasting Stoddards outshines other vendors by not only providing deli...
cious food, but also fulfilling a special request we had. We chose family style. The staff was all extremely professional day of as well. The uniforms were clean and crisp and so were they! The food was very important to us and we thankfully received plenty of compliments on our selections. We decided on beef tenderloin (MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE), chicken, roasted potatoes, green beans, and mac n cheese. All menus also come with water, coffee, salads, AND buns. Extremely quick responses via email and also accommodated our requests of linen colors. 10/10 we recommend Stoddards!
I am beyond thankful that Stoddard's Meat Market and Catering was one of our preferred vendors for our wedding! From the moment we tasted their appetizers and main course, we knew ...
we were in for something special. The compliments from our guests were nonstop, with everyone raving about not only the amazing food but also the fantastic service.
Here’s a funny story: One of our family friends has always been known to bring his own sandwiches to weddings because he claims he doesn’t like wedding food—he literally brings a bag for himself. But I kid you not, after just a few bites of his girlfriend’s plate, he immediately went up to serve himself and said, “This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had!” We couldn’t believe it! We’ve had so many guests still talking about how incredible the food was, and that story alone says it all.
One of the things that truly set Stoddard’s apart was their leftover policy. We’ve never heard of a catering service that lets you take home all the leftovers, and it was such a thoughtful touch! As the bride and groom, we were so busy and didn’t get to enjoy our wedding food as much as we would’ve liked, so having the leftovers the next day was absolutely amazing. We even froze some of it to enjoy later!
We cannot thank Stoddard’s enough for their hard work and dedication to making our wedding day so memorable. The food was spectacular, and we are so grateful for the role they played in making our celebration complete. If you’re looking for the best catering for your event, look no further—Stoddard’s will not disappoint!
We had such an amazing experience working with Jerry and his team at Stoddard’s!! Everything we tried at our tasting and on the day of the wedding was absolutely delicious!! Our gu...
ests also said the food was amazing and the buffet trays were constantly being refilled and plates were cleared as the dinner went on. Stoddard’s was so professional and such a joy to work with!
Stoddard's team is a family-owned business who CARES. They were so lovely to meet, patient when working with us, and fully accommodating from start to finish.

Stoddard's food was amazing!!!!! We chose to do family style and the staff was very quick on getting the food out. The two downfalls were that during our conversations they stated ...
we could pick up left overs the day after. When we went to pick up the left overs, we were told there were none since we did family style. We were really looking forward to the left overs with how good the food was. They also almost forgot to feed our vendors. Luckily my husband saw the vendors waiting for the food and was able to tell the caterers before they packed everything up.
We hired Stoddard's for our wedding and the food was delicious. We offered buffet style for dinner and there was plenty of food for everyone and we even got to keep the leftovers.

ck to us quickly with answers to our questions. Stoddard's was one of the many vendors we enjoyed working with. They toured our venue before our wedding which helped immensely with keeping things organized, timely, and made our appetizers flow seamlessly into dinner. Our guests loved the food some of the items that were raved about included the BBQ Meatballs, Deviled Eggs, and the Spinach Dip, before dinner even started. We had Baked Chicken and Ham for dinner with mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Our dinner service was family style with plated meals for the wedding party and our vendors. Our catering bill was by far the largest expense of our wedding, but our guests were happy and full with zero complaints. The staff that catered our event were extremely courteous to and conscious of our guests. We honestly could not have found a better catering company to put our trust in. They went above and beyond in a time of so much stress for us, Stoddard's was an upstanding, and honorable company to work with. All we can say is THANK YOU!
