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 guests 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!

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments! We enjoyed working with you as well :)
I can't even begin to tell you how worth it, it was to boom stoddards for our wedding food, they outdid their service on our wedding night, our guests couldn't get enough of how good their food was. If I could rate them higher than 5 stars I sure would!

Hi Emilie! Thank you so much for the awesome review! We enjoyed working with you and are so happy that we could help your day be even more special!
Any questions?
The food from Stoddards was amazing. We got so many compliments about the food from our guests. We got to take home all the left over food. We don't have anything bad to say about them. Everyone there was so easy to work with and they are all such down to earth people.

Thank you so much for the nice post Allison! We enjoyed working with you and appreciate the awesome feedback.
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.
The staff at Stoddard's was warm, friendly, and professional from the first phone call. Jerry and Tami walked us through their menu and made helpful suggestions. Tami always got back 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!

Thank you so much for the amazing review. We truly appreciate your wonderful remarks! We enjoyed working with you and wish you the best in your future :)
Stoddard’s food was delicious. We did buffet style and were very happy. They are a pleasure to work with! We even had a hiccup with the wrong size linens and they were very apologetic and got us the correct ones asap in the morning.
Wow! They have the BEST wedding food we ever had! Soooo many compliments on the food they made! Team was all professional! Easy to work with! Even boxed up our left overs and let us take them home afterwards!
Jerry and his team were absolutely FANTASTIC to work with as our caterer for our family-style wedding meal! We got to pick from a variety of options to try at our initial tasting and the experience was so easy-going and fun! We never felt pressured at any point to make a rushed decision. We had so many compliments from our guests about our food and we were so glad to work with such a professional and reputable caterer! Jerry even checked in with us during our dinner to make sure we were enjoying our meal and his staff were so sweet. Great local business to work with in the Madison area!
We had Stoddards cater our wedding, including catering for cocktail hour and dinner. All of their food was delicious, especially the pork tenderloin!! They came on time day of and prices were very reasonable. The only issue we had was that they didn’t bring our vegetarian meals we asked for for our vegetarian guests.
We opted for a heavy hors d'oeuvre style reception and received nothing but compliments on the food!
Stoddard’s killed it. Beautiful display of class, professionalism and above all; EXCELLENT FOOD.
Megan and I couldn’t be happier with the experience that Stoddard’s provided us and our guests.
I cannot say enough good things about them. Due to Covid, we had to last minute do a backyard wedding and they made the catering seamless and easy. They had vegan meals for the guests that needed them. Everyone raved about the pork that wasn’t vegan. My brother couldn’t stay for the reception and they even had to go containers ready for him and his son. 10/10 would recommend!
