Amazing staff!! They made sure the we were fed first and had plenty to eat and drink. They were so kind and made it easy for guests to get through the line. The food was delicious! Definitely recommend the brisket and mashed potatoes! This company is exactly what you need!

We retained Thompson Catering for our rehearsal dinner which numbered 100 and selected the Mediterranean menu option. The meal was fabulous.! The number of compliments we received were numerous. It’s a busy time for the parents of the bride and groom and that choice of service and cuisine left zero stress and complete enjoyment. The staff went over and above to make all feel welcome were very professional. We would definitely use again and highly recommend!

Thompson Catering was a wonderful choice for our daughter's wedding reception buffet. Both the meat and vegetarian lasagnas were delicious, the caesar salad was plentiful with delicious dressing, rolls were wonderful...many guests complimented the food. Their artichoke/spinach dip appetizer was a big hit too. We also hired a bartender through Thompson Catering at a very affordable price, and she was very professional and friendly, just like Thompson's staff and crew. I highly recommend Thompson Catering for an affordable, professional, and delicious choice!

The food was absolutely delicious and they did a great job of cleaning up afterwards. They were so kind and helpful when we were working with them, even when we had a few last-minute changes.

I used Thompson Catering for my September wedding for an outdoor reception. I rented my tent, lighting, dance floor, tables, chairs, and linens from them, and they prepared and provided the buffet for dinner. From start to finish, they were flexible and accommodating to my needs and wishes. The night of the wedding went off without a hitch! I still am getting compliments on how good the food was. Thompson provided so much, and at such a reasonable cost. Definitely the best bang for your buck in this area!
