We hired Blue Plate to cater our wedding and we are so glad we did! Gary and his team were fantastic to work with and answered all of our questions throughout the process. Our food tasting gave us a chance to try a few options we were thinking about and allowed us to talk to Gary about which meals would work best for our plated dinner. Our guests RAVED about the meals all night. Gary checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we were on the same page of when food should be served (we needed our guests served before we were done with pictures because we were running behind) and if we wanted to keep the top of our wedding cake. Even before the wedding, every time I mentioned Blue Plate was catering our other vendors and people we told responded with “oh good choice!” Which shows you the reputation they have in our community and the industry. (For reference, we chose the apricot glazed chicken, peach bbq pork, and southwestern stuffed pepper for our entrees.)
