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!
