Josh and Kasandra did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We had many caterers not want to come to our venue due to the remoteness of the location, but Josh and Kasandra said it was not an issue. Communication with them was quick and easy. The best part was the food was DELICIOUS! Our guests are still raving about how good it was. I cannot recommend them enough!
The Local Caterer did a fantastic job with our wedding! We hired them to do a mashed potato bar during the dinner service with vegan options as well. They made phenomenal food that was a hit with all of our guests. Josh was our main point of contact and he is very responsive and able to answer questions easily and quickly. We were struggling to find a caterer and had posted in a local facebook group and connected with him through that. He made it so easy to make sure we could get our ideas created to fit our needs and do that in what is considered more last minute when talking wedding planning. We are so thankful for their hard work and delicious food that were such a hit at our wedding!
If your goal is great food and great service that includes peace of mind during all the stressful planning of a wedding; the Local Caterer is your best option.
I have used The Local Caterer for numerous events both large and small and they have always hit a home run. The food is phenomenal, the staff is friendly and helpful and they always made this part of my events stress free. HIGHLY recommend them.
