Gary was our point of contact throughout our wedding process, and he was spectacular. He was always easy to get in contact with and offered us fantastic advice along the way. We appreciated his insight and valued his opinion, and he did not steer us wrong! On the day of our wedding, the staff was fantastic at executing our timeline and catering needs. They were professional and efficient (what more could you ask for on your event?!) Our guests raved about our food and the service they received. For reference, we had a lot of guests with dietary restrictions, so we chose to offer the Taste of Italy buffet and it was a HUGE hit!!

We offer the peace of mind that comes with working with a professional caterer.


Fresh

IMG_5186

Just like when you go back home to Grandma’s house, there’s just something better about homemade food. We agree! With our team of highly-trained chefs, we ensure our food is fresh, delicious and has that feeling of farm-to-table home cooking. Feeding 250 guests a meal is certainly a greater task than feeding your own family around the dinner table, but that doesn’t mean we will cut corners. The look on our clients’ faces after a delicious meal is reason enough to go the extra mile to prepare our food at the highest quality.

Local

Blue Plate Catering is dedicated to supporting the economic and environmental well-being of our local community. With this in mind, we make every effort possible to purchase locally-grown meat and dairy from local coops and organizations right in the Heartland. We are excited that our catering operations can be a source of support for our local farmers and their families. We also have a number of local options for produce, including our partnership with Fifth Season Cooperative.
