“We used Blue Plate Catering for our wedding and were extremely pleased with the entire experience! They were already very familiar with our venue, The Tinsmith, the menu sounded delicious, and the prices were more than reasonable so we were excited to work with them. We needed appetizers, plated dinner service, water/coffee/tea, linens, napkins, and cutlery. David and his team were so helpful and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. They proposed a menu sensitive to dietary restrictions (so many gluten-free options!), offered a great color selection of linens and napkins to match our color palette, scheduled a tasting, coordinated delivery of our desserts from a local bakery, and let us pick up our linens the day before so setting up decor wouldn’t be delayed. On our wedding day, Jon, and Cecilia, our event and server leads, ensured that food preparation, timing, and service were outstanding and seamless. We got so many compliments about all of the food from our guests and their bacon wrapped chorizo dates are an absolute must. Highly recommend Blue Plate to cater any event!”
