Catering Made simple did an fantastic job for our big day. Great value for the menu we wanted. I am a very picky person due to the fact I've worked in food service my whole life. They excited all expectations left all the guests (including all my fellow chef friends). My wife DIYed all the decorations and they were a great help adding little things and making her vision come to life. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Catering made Simple (specifically Greg and Laura) helped save the day on an event I was hosting where the original caterer could no longer cater. Not only did they very helpfully agree on short notice, but also, were super friendly and communicative. Pricing is affordable and very importantly, the food was delicious and receive high compliments. I ordered sandwiches and a bunch of petite desserts. I was so thankful for everyone involved, including delivery on time and with so much helpfulness. Look forward to continuing to hire them in the future!

I could have not been more pleased using Catering Made Simple for our wedding. Greg and his team were amazing to work with. They were very easy to work with and flexible when we had changes. The food was just as amazing at the tasting as it was at the venue. I would highly recommend using this company for any catering event that you have needs for. All night we were getting rave reviews for our guests stating how great the food was. Thanks again for making our day very special.

From beginning to end, our experience with Catering Made Simple could not have been any better! From Cari getting us started and seeing us through to our daugther & son-in-law's special day, Laura keeping in touch and keeping up with our questions and changes, to the catering/serving staff at the wedding (who we got LOTS of praise on!!)....they will always be our caterers of choice. Oh, and the food! We continue to get compliments on the food - excellent! Our kids chose an assortment of foods they liked, and the mix was perfect for everyone! CMS was great to help us with some last-minute GF foods for a guest as well. Add in the dessert bar and late-night empanadas, and it couldn't have been any better!

We have never had better food at any wedding. Our chef and the owner carefully guided us through the selection process of what foods combine well. They made special accommodations like less sugar in a particular sauce... All desserts were homemade with fresh eggs, butter and sugar. Guests called us days and weeks later, to tell us how good the food was. The waiters were so kind and competent. Food was the heart of a magical evening.

Could not recommend catering made simple enough! We used them for our 220 person wedding and the whole process was so smooth. My husband has several food allergies and they were able to accommodate all of them with no problem! The wait staff went above and beyond the day of our wedding, and all of our guests raved about the food. Not only are they fairly priced, but the quality of food is incredible.

The quality and punctuality of the food and delivery was much better than I expected. In spite of their size and volume, the service was very personable and certainly worth doing again. Thanks, Greg.

I don't know why I even gave 1 star. The owner is not good to his employees. Doesn't pay them. Doesn't pay for travel - overtime - mileage for driving all over.

Everyone LOVED ❤️ the food!

I spent probably 30 hours searching for a caterer for my wedding. I was getting the most ridiculous quotes or other companies were timid taking on a 200 person seated wedding dinner. I finally stumbled upon Catering Made Simple and I knew almost immediately we would end up with them. Greg was sooooo amazing throughout the entire process. From the initial planning, the tasting, menu changes and finalizing details I felt like he truly cared.We had a few passed apps for cocktail hour then chicken Veronique and pepper crusted beef tenderloin for dinner and it was soo flavorful. The service was fast and the team was efficient. There was a slight miscommunication with some children’s meals but they worked very quick to rectify it.We also opted for the hot dog cart and that was the real star of the show. The entire party LOVED the hot dog cart and it was a perfect late night snack.Overall I had a great experience with Catering Made Simple and would absolutely recommend them for weddings or any large event.
