“David and the Blue Plate staff were outstanding! We received the highest compliments on our food, from both vegetarians and our meat loving friends. Food at weddings is always just okay in my eyes but everyone devoured it! Additionally, they are extremely fair priced from the other quotes we received. Before starting the wedding planning process I was naïve in how much the caterer plays a role, but they really do so much from the linens, table set up, the toasts, etc. Having no wedding planner I blanked on a lot of last minute items and David picked up the pieces for us the week of with no extra charge. I would say our caterer was probably our favorite vendor to meet with because they handle all of the details for you and let you sit back and enjoy! 10/10 recommend!”Read More Testimonials ›
Professional. Prompt. At Your Service.
We offer the peace of mind that comes with working with a professional caterer.
Fresh
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.
