Truly a wonderful experience

John and the team at Platters were an absolute pleasure to work with. From the get go, I knew I was in good hands. John was patient with me as I determined a budget and number of guests, and was so helpful throughout the process answering any questions I had about bar, linens, and more. He even offered to adjust meals or create something custom for us, which was absolutely above and beyond!

After our tasting we knew we had made the right decision, and on our wedding day we couldn't have been more confident. All meals were arranged perfectly, given out in good time, and best of all, delicious. Everyone was raving about the steak and mashed potatoes!

Thank you John and the Platters team for all your hard work. You helped make our wedding wonderful.

Wedding catering

Amazing! We had them cater our wedding of 60 guests. They were able make adjustments to work with our budget. We did the buffet option and there portions were generous. Everything tasted amazing and we had many guests mention after the fact how good the food was. Would definitely recommend!

We couldn't be happier!

A team from platters, a chef and two servers, catered our at home wedding event serving hors d’oeuvres & canapés, from 4-9 pm on a Saturday. They helped make our event so wonderful! The food was delicious, and the service was exemplary. The team met our guests' needs at all times, going out of their way to be helpful and solicitous. My elderly mother had a slight swoon, and the team brought her tea and food and treated her so thoughtfully.

I appreciate the initiative and service, from serving wine to guests, to gathering and boxing up glassware we had rented from another vendor, to ensuring floor mats were secure, to being friendly and helpful at all times. All of our guests raved about the food and the wonderful staff.

We would heartily recommend Platters.

Platter's catering is by far the best! My family and I have used them on many occasions including my wedding! Everyone at my wedding was complimenting them on how good the food was and their organization. Platters helped me with my tent rental to almost every detail! I would definitely recommend them to anyone and I am excited to use them again for all of my future occasions!

End of the day, food was delicious

A few hiccups during plated service, vendors did not get fed (not sure where the confusion was), but delicious food nonetheless. I feel like they were extremely busy with a hand full of weddings on the same weekend and maybe had a bit too much on their plate. But all of the food was delicious from cocktails to late night

Platters provided exceptionally tasty food and delivered a variety of options for our marche-style dinner. The feedback from guests was all positive. Kevin listened to our wishes and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Platters for any event!
