Like many couples, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted our wedding. Thankfully, Sherm's worked with us through two postponements and finally the official day. The food was great and all of their staff did a great job, including making sure the Bride had as many mac and cheese balls as humanly possible (LOL!). Thank you so much Sherm's (shout out to Becky!) for helping us make sure our day was possible!
We knew we wanted Sherm's to cater our wedding the moment we had the food at our good friends wedding...and they didn't disappoint! These guys are professionals! Once the menu was determined, Becky and her team took the reins and made it happen. Also you must get the stuffed mushrooms!
Becky and her team did a phenomenal job at my wedding. They worked out all of the details and made everything we wanted to happen, happen! The turkey carving station was absolutely to die for and all their help was truly appreciated. I highly recommend.
Sherm's catered our wedding in April 2021 and we had a wonderful experience!
Sherm's is very reasonably priced and have many food options for catering our big day. The best part was the taco bar and we received many compliments on it.
The price was great, the food was great, AND the staff was absolutely wonderful. Sherm's was very responsive and always quickly answered any questions we had. They helped in any way that they could- such as recommending and reaching out to rental companies when we realized we didn't have chairs for the ceremony which was happening in two weeks.
Thank you Sherm's for keeping our guests' bellies full!
Planning a wedding is never easy, but especially not during a pandemic! Becky and her team were willing to make anything work for us whether that meant Plan A, B or C. She listened to our thoughts and made the menu fit perfectly with who we are! From the very first tasting to the cocktail hour and dinner, everything was amazing! She was able to help us create a Mexican themed cocktail hour and a Covid friendly dinner! Her team worked amazing with all of our vendors! She was thoughtful, insightful, and she helped us to realize things that we did and did not need! Because of their customer service, we will definitely be using Sherm’s Catering again. We love you, Becky!
We booked Sherm's catering early on in our engagement and I'm so glad we did! From beginning to end, Becky, Jessie and their team were communicative, supportive and most importantly in 2020, flexible!
We had to make so many changes over the last several months due to varying restrictions and health concerns, and they remained easy going and accommodating each step of the way. The food was great (get the mac and cheese balls - they're AMAZING), and service phenomenal.
Special shout out to Jessie for checking in on me during the wedding to make sure everything was going well. I also saw her go out of her way to make sure our other vendors were taken care of during the reception; our photographer was so appreciative to have a full meal even though her diet restrictions meant she wasn't going to be able to eat what the rest of the guests were).
We are incredibly grateful to have found such a great team for our minimony this year and look forward to working with them again when we are able to do a larger celebration next year!
Being a bride during a pandemic is stressful to say the least. We had to cancel with original catering company due to COVID-19 restrictions. We are heartbroken, but soon found out that it was the biggest blessing in disguise. Becky at Sherm's made everything so painless from the very first e-mail that I sent to her. Her responsiveness was impeccable. She answered my million and one questions so quickly and made the whole process stress free! They made a backyard wedding feel so elegant! The day of the wedding, it POURED right before the reception (during our ceremony). The tent side blew open and linens were SOAKED and table arrangements were destroyed. Becky and her team changed the wet linens and set the tables that were destroyed before all of our guests and bridal party arrived. My husband and I didnt even know this happened until the nest day. When the bride and groom and bridal party arrived, the bride and groom were Becky's top priority. She made sure we had a drink in our hand, and food in our stomachs. She even bustled my dress for me! The food was out of this world, no one went home hungry, no ones drinks were empty, and all of our guests raved about Sherm's. I will recommend Sherm's catering to anyone and everyone, for any event!
Initially we had a great process with Sherm's. Due to the current pandemic we shifted gears about two months prior to the big day and decided to have the wedding in our backyard with about 70 guests as opposed to a venue in Philadelphia. Becky was more than accommodating in getting us pricing and set up for a tasting. She was quick to respond, the food was awesome, pricing was great, and there wasn't anything we asked of her that she said no to. Day of, things were mostly smooth. Set up was quick, the displays were pretty, and everything tasted great! However, as things progressed into the evening we had many guests ask us where to put their trash/clear their plates because things started to really pile up. We decided on cocktail style and dishes were stacked on the tables to the point where (unknown to me on the day of) my Father had to help buss some of the tables. Additionally, given the current circumstances we asked if Sherm's could help us take care of and maintain our bathrooms to ensure cleanliness for the guests. Becky assured us this was something they could help us with even though it was out of the normal realm of business, however, on the night of paper towels were scattered all over the floor in the bathroom because the trash can was overflowing. Again, unknown to me the night of my Mother ended up tending to the bathrooms. We also paid for trash removal, but found numerous bags in our own trash cans the next day, specifically in our yard waste can which I had to remove and place into the right one. We also were told we'd have coffee service, which never happened. Both my husband and I were interested in a cup that night and no one ever offered/no station was to be found. My Mother also made cupcakes for dessert which Becky expressed to us she'd display nicely on risers and pedestals. The serving staff that night had no idea about the cupcakes and when we asked about it they initially told my Mother it wasn't their responsibility to display them. Eventually they agreed, but placed them out on the tables flat, no display pieces were used. We also asked for a fruit display for dessert. This was also placed among the cupcakes and only three plates were placed out for the entire dessert display, there was no utensil to serve the fruit, rather the staff asked me for some of my own toothpicks and placed them throughout all the fruit so guests could pick up the pieces one by one. Not only was it unattractive, but unsanitary given the current situation. My mother-in-law asked for some more plates and forks so she could have some of the desserts and they said all they could offer her were a couple paper plates they managed to find. Overall, Sherm's was wonderful leading up and lead me through the process with not a doubt in my mind that things wouldn't be perfect. The issues mentioned before in no way ruined my evening as most went unseen to me, thanks to my parents stepping in/taking special care to keep me unaware. However, the need for them to do that is what I found most disappointing. In the same way I was able to enjoy the day, my Father and Mother shouldn't have been worrying about cleaning bathrooms or bussing tables. Although we realized some more work than normal would be needed by us due to having the wedding at our home, these issues shouldn't have been addressed by anyone in attendance especially the Father and Mother of the Bride when they were something previously addressed and reassured to me by Becky.
Sherm's provided catering for our daughter's wedding in August. The wedding had been postponed from June to August and Becky (and Sherm's) were great and so helpful during this uncertain time. The food, presentation and overall feel of the reception was incredible! Becky and her team went above and beyond to make it fabulous! We would definitely recommend Sherm's catering to anyone who is looking for a wedding caterer.
We had to postpone our wedding twice due to Coronavirus. Through the entire process, Sherm's (we dealt primarily with Becky) has been one the best of our vendors in terms of flexibility and understanding. There is a genuine warmth with any interactions, which is important anytime but especially given the current environment. While we postponed our big wedding, we did have a small 30 person gathering for an intimate wedding at my in-laws. My in-laws were so impressed with Sherm's response that they hired Sherm's to cater the small wedding. The steak was high quality even though served on a buffet. The mustard crusted chicken was to die for. We got a southern mac and cheese that was reaaaally tasty. Our guests were ecstatic about the food, with a lot of them saying it was the best wedding food they have had. Great food. Great service. Will certainly have them back for our wedding that is now scheduled for 2021. Thanks Sherm's and thanks Becky.

We got married at Rosewood Farms and Becky and the whole team was amazing to work with! With all the uncertainty in weddings now a days she made it known that she was there to help us with whatever we needed. She is extremely knowledgable and helpful throughout all of the planning. Sherm's also provides the linens which was awesome and they were a great help in setting up and tearing down. We did different food stations and they were a huge hit! We had seafood, sliders, pasta, and fajitas all at different stations. Becky even planted fresh herbs and brought them for the station tables which were great. I highly recommend the entire team! Would work with them again for any event :)
We would 10/10 recommend Sherms Catering! We were one of the couples that had to reschedule their wedding from May to August and Becky from Sherms was so amazing to work with. During these hard times during COVID with the constant uncertainty, Becky was so helpful, flexible and very responsive. Food was amazing, we are getting compliments every day! We did the dual plate filet and crab cake and both were amazing and very reasonable in pricing. Staff was very respectful and were able to accommodate all of our special food requests for our guests.
Becky and Sherm are great to work with! They are very responsive to e-mails and answering any questions that we had. We got married at Rosewood Farms in Elkton, MD on 12/22/19 for our Christmas themed wedding. The details that were put into place was amazing and the food was amazing at an affordable price. Everyone loved the food and especially the hot cocoa bar. I highly recommend using Sherm's for any of your catering needs.
Wow....there’s no way to describe the amount of effort thats sherm and his crew put forward to make our special day one to remember! The food was awesome, the servers were awesome, becky and sherm were awesome! I had a million questions they had 2 million answers! Love these guys! If i ever need an event catered in the future i will be contacting sherm!
Sherm catered our wedding on 10/12/2019 at Rosewood Farms in Elkton, MD. When we first booked Rosewood we were pleased to see that Sherm was a preferred caterer. My step-mom and her family have worked with him before, and he has a great reputation “around town.” When dealing with a venue like Rosewood, you need a great caterer. It is very “DIY” and Sherm’s was able to fill in all of the gaps. They provided set up, breakdown, linens, bartenders, mixers, even a few decorations. We brought our own desserts and they set them up and provided trays to display them. Whatever I wanted- they were able to provide. Becky was basically a wedding planner and a true God send. I could ask her anything, and she was always willing to help. We had a buffet with a filet carving station and plated Caesar salad. Our buffet had green beans, brussels and bacon, roasted red potatoes, mustard glazed chicken, & the star of the show- butternut squash raviolis. Good Lord- those things are to die for. For appetizers we did a meat and cheese spread with fruit and veggies. We also had a few passed hors d'oeuvres. Everyone loved the food. Sherm and Becky were there for us every step of the way, and I couldn’t have pulled this off without them. I would not hesitate to recommend Sherm. Whatever you need- they will be able to help. Amazing service at an affordable price.
We could not recommend Sherm's Catering more highly! From the first tasting about 11 months before our wedding, we were so excited about the food aspect of our special day! Becky and everyone else were wonderful to work with. They responded to any and all questions immediately and with great clarity. Becky was helpful and put us at ease during our final walkthrough, because she had everything under control :) The food was fantastic and the service was exemplary. Considering they were also the most affordable caterer we found, we were pleased with the value for the price.
Sherm's Catering was amazing! From beginning to end...with ALLLL of my changes and emotions...Sherm and his AMAZING Becky were so wonderful and supportive. I had great options for my menu. They were even helpful with ideas, suggestions on my entire wedding. A special thank you to Sherm and Becky and the staff for making our wedding so wonderful. If you live in Delaware and you want GREAT food with AWESOME service, call Sherm's!!
Sherm & Becky truly are an amazing team and so wonderful to work with. They made our wedding day so special! We cant wait to use them again in the future. Highly recommended for your special occasion!
Picking Sherm's Catering to be our caterer for our wedding was a no brainer. We absolutely loved working with them every step of the way. Becky, Sherm and the whole crew were nothing short of amazing. Not only was the food delicious and tailored to our needs but the service and personal touches were an added bonus. From bringing up hors d'oeuvres during our photos after the ceremony to capturing precious moments of me and my husband during the reception, Becky went above and beyond. Our hearts were very grateful for her. Anytime there was a question or change, Becky was on it. We couldn't have picked a better caterer for our special day. I highly recommend Sherm's Catering and I can promise they won't disappoint.
Sherm’s is a staff of rockstars, and they made the planning process unbelievably stress free for us. They offered great ideas and were so flexible with what we wanted. The food was delicious. I don’t think a single guest talks about our wedding without talking about the food.
Great experience from start to finish! Delicious food! I would highly recommend Sherms Catering!
Sherm’s was the best! They definitely made our special day perfect. Everyone remembers the food and the music at a wedding and they did not disappoint! Everyone who attended had nothing but amazing things to say. They are well organized, very professional, super affordable, extremely helpful, and of course, incredible with their food. You and your guests will be their number one priority. So glad we went with Sherm’s!
We used Sherm's catering for our wedding this past June, and we had a wonderful experience! We worked directly with Becky to organize, and Sherm on the food. We got many compliments on the Prime Rib and Crab Cakes from our guests! Their customer service is top-notch from the first contact to the wedding day and after.
Sherm's was an absolute favorite of our guests and my husband and me! We started by reaching out for a tasting where Sherm made us a huge variety of appetizers and entree options. He even answered the many questions had by my mother in law and me in detail, emphasizing that it was my day and he would try to do whatever we wanted! We knew after the tasting that we had found our wedding caterer, and were very happy with the price point. From there, Becky helped us with every detail we could have imagined, and checked in with us every so often to answer any other questions we had leading up to the wedding day. One week before the wedding Becky met with us and our venue to plan out every single minute of their time. We were so impressed with her attention to detail! A day before the wedding, she even drove over to our venue to deliver a table cloth that was missed during pick up. During the event both Becky and Sherm made it a point to meet up with us and our parents/ bridal party to see how things were going and if there was anything we needed from them. I loved how communicative they were during the ENTIRE planning process, which made us feel extremely calm and confident that we had chosen the perfect vendor for our wedding. Thanks again!
We greatly appreciated having Sherms help us at our wedding! He not only had delicious food prepared for our guest, but he was there to help the day go well. I don't know what we would have done without them, look forward to having Sherm's help us cater our next event!
We recently had our tasting at Sherm’s and we are so excited to have them at our wedding! Not only was everything delicious, Sherm went out of his way to make sure we tried a variety of options and was happy to make changes based on our preferences. He was very invested in making sure we had the perfect selection at our wedding!
Sherm’s catering catered our wedding for us and I cannot say enough good things about them. They worked with my celiac disease to come up with a menu that wouldn’t interferes with that as well as things that our guests would enjoy! Becky was in constant contact with me answering my questions and making sure that everything that we would need to make our day a success was done! They executed it to perfection and had everything cleaned up and returned back to the way it was. The food was awesome and so flavorful and cooked to perfection!! If you are looking for someone to create loving meals for your guests look no further!
I have used Sherm's catering for several events over the years. From luncheons to my wedding. The food is always awesome and the staff is great. Highly recommend!!
Sherm's did fantastic job catering our wedding. Not only was the food wonderful, but the service was exceptional as well. Becky met us the day before at the venue to go over everything and made sure every detail was addressed. Then on the day of our wedding, Sherm's staff was everywhere anyone needed them without ever getting in the way. They were polite, attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I can't say enough GREAT things about Sherm's Catering. We used Sherm's for our wedding and I had to get business cards from Sherm because so many people at my wedding was asking who the caterer was. I've referred Sherm's to countless numbers of people. I've used them for events with work. I've used them for our anniversary party. I've used them for home parties. The service is 2nd to none and the food is out of this world! There is never a shortage of food. A caterer that doesn't run out of food?? Yup! Just call Sherm's. You will be busting at the seams.
Sherm’s Catering did a great job at our wedding. The food was delicious as well as the service. Steph and Sherm were both extremely helpful during the planning process. They made us feel so comfortable. If you want to have great customer service and food that is exceptional, I highly recommend Sherm’s! Oh and don’t let me forget to mention their prices, they are very reasonable where it’s not going to cost an arm and a leg. My husband and I are very pleased with how everything turned out, thank you again Sherm and team! You guys are fabulous!
Sherm is an amazing guy who has a great professional and polite staff. The food was the absolute best too.
Sherm’s Catering is wonderful! Great food, very professional. My husband and I have known Sherm for 10 years and we’ve used him several times. We couldn’t be happier with his service. We know many of his employees, they are a pleasure to work with.
Sherm’s is by far the best in the area. They were able to come out to my venue in NJ and help everything go super smooth. We thought we could do it all on our own with a diy wedding but we were so wrong. So many things that we completely forgot to budget for was covered plus some. They arrived on one and was a great asset to our wedding coordinator. Then when the food came out we were in love. We had family travel from Trinidad and they absolutely loved the meals. I can’t thank you all enough! I recommend everyone to consider Sherm’s for all of catering needs!
Almost a year later and my friends and family are still talking about the food. Anthony was amazing! He was with us during the tasting, coordinated all aspects of the wedding with us along with our other venders, and he was with us during our big day to insure that everything went as planned to a T. Their staff was attentive and had a spring to their step. Our wedding was our doors, it was a particularly hot and humid day but it did not impede the quality of service or their demeanor.. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You made our day! Looking forward to using you on our next event!
The food was dry and tasteless.
Stef from Sherms was wonderful and very helpful, things seemed a bit disorganized. Reviewed some details many times but didn't happen the way it was discussed or I had to make sure on my own certain things were taken care of, and they made me promises that never really happened. At the end of the night when they wanted everyone to leave the hall some of the staff began getting a little nasty with my guests and me, I understand it was a long day and they wanted people to leave, would have been nice if they approached me and reminded me of the time and that they need everyone out ASAP and I could have handled it. The venue looked absolutely gorgeous and the food was pretty good overall.
Sherm's Catering provided delicious food for our wedding at a very reasonable price. Sherm worked with us to develop the menu and provided excellent service. You know the food is good when your guests ask about the caterer.
