We worked with Ces & Judy's for our August wedding and the team was amazing...and the food...well let's just say our guests are still talking about it! Valerie was amazing to work with, and I cannot thank the whole team enough for the professionalism and quality provided to help make our wedding perfect!

I had the honor of baking the wedding cakes for my nephew and his beautiful bride this past weekend. When I first called Ces & Judy they connected me with their event manager Darla. She was fantastic to work with over the phone, but things got better on the day of the event at the Jewel Box. The food was fantastic and perfectly prepared. The staff working the event were so professional, very nice and extremely accommodating. Darla was by far the best event coordinator I have ever work with. She took care of every detail including the small things that most people wouldn't think could make a difference, but did. She was on top of everything. The other people I spoke to after the wedding said the same thing. A "Big Thanks" to the professional chef on staff that sliced the cakes that I baked. They looked amazing on the plates.
Thank you Darla and your awesome staff!

We worked with Ces & Jud's for our wedding we had 3 months ago in May. Everyone was so great to work with from the planning process to helping coordinate the day of timeline. My mom and I enjoyed working with Darla and her team during our whole wedding planning process. The whole reception from cocktail hour to dinner service was so smooth! All our guests are still raving about the food they had it was truly delicious. I would defiantly recommend anyone to work with Ces & Judy's!

They catered my daughter’s wedding. They were wonderful to work with. They tweaked the menu to our taste. Our food was delicious!!! Excellent attention to detail and provided plenty of servers for fast service. Would highly recommend them!

We had our wedding catered by Ces and Judy's and we were BLOWN AWAY by the food! We had a great experience during the tasting, but you never know what the quality is going to be at the actual event because of transportation, heating, cooling, serving, etc. but their team really nailed it! We served steak, chicken, and a vegan option and had no complaints on any of them! Their passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour were scrumptious, and service throughout the whole event was on point.
They were very communicative and straightforward on pricing/service. We tried a few caterers at different price points and the value at Ces & Judy's was unmatched. If they are in your price range, it should be an absolute no-brainer to choose Ces & Judy's for any event!

This review is long overdue, but our gratitude for Ces & Judy’s has only grown since our wedding last August. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with—creative, collaborative, and completely committed to helping us create an experience that felt uniquely like us.
My husband and I wanted something nontraditional. We had a vision for a heavy hors d’oeuvres-style dinner setup that felt like an elevated extension of our cocktail hour—relaxed, social, and 100% “us.” We didn’t want a formal sit-down dinner or buffet. Instead, Ces & Judy’s worked with us to craft a menu of elevated small bites that were hearty enough to be satisfying but fun and shareable enough to keep the energy light and festive.
And Ces & Judy’s absolutely nailed it.
Beyond how incredible everything tasted, what really blew us away was how this setup changed the feel of the evening. Ces & Judy’s embraced our nontraditional idea and made it better than we ever imagined. They didn’t just “go along with it”—they got excited, contributed thoughtful suggestions, and then executed the whole thing flawlessly. We’re still hearing from guests about how much they loved the fun, relaxed, and social setup—like the best parts of a cocktail party, but with the food quality and quantity of a full dinner. People mingled, laughed, and never once had to worry about where the food was or whether there would be enough. Before someone could even finish one delicious slider, another tray of something just as mouthwatering—like mini tacos, flatbread pizzas, or citrus caprese skewers—was already coming by. The staff were warm, attentive, and somehow always right there with the perfect bite at the perfect time.
Ces & Judy’s listened to our ideas, collaborated with us to build something creative and custom, and executed it flawlessly. It was clear they cared as much about making the night special as we did. Ces & Judy’s made our wedding unforgettable—and for that, we are endlessly grateful.
If you’re planning a wedding (or any event) and want a catering team that will go above and beyond to make your event custom, delicious, and something people will talk about long after it’s over—Ces & Judy’s is the one. We truly cannot thank them enough and would recommend them 20 times out of 10. Hands down the best there is to offer.

We worked with Valerie on our wedding welcome party and the whole experience was nothing short of fantastic. Clear and prompt communication from the very beginning. We chose to do the catering drop off and it was seamless. And the best part of it all was the food was incredible! Our guests raved about everything! Highly recommend working with Ces and Judy’s for your catering needs! Will definitely use them for future events.

Ces & Judy's Catered my wedding and it was phenomenal! Working in the wedding & events industry I knew how important it was to hire trusted vendors for our big day. We wanted to ensure not only that our food was delicious but that the staff could handle all of the details for the day of as well. I worked with both Andrea and Darla who were great and then Darla was our day of event manager! The way our day was set up was a little non-traditional, and Darla and the staff on the day of were amazing!! All the details we discussed leading up were executed perfectly and with a smile on their faces. Of course, the food was wonderful too!! It tasted exactly the same as it did at our tasting and our guests were RAVING about it. We even had a fun late night snack that Ces & Judy's prepared for us. Cannot recommend enough!!

Ces and Judy's catered a retirement party for us last week. They did a fantastic job! The food was delicious, the set up was perfect, and the staff was very professional. I highly recommend Ces and Judy's!
Susan Warshaw
We were very pleased with our daughters’s wedding. Colleen was a tremendous help, had great ideas and suggestions, and did a great job of making sure dietary needs and all other relevant needs were met. I would highly recommend her. The food was very good and we heard many guests echo this. It was as good as it had been at the tasting! Thank you all for a job well done!
As the Mother of the Bride, I cannot recommend Ces & Judy’s catering enough. Our venue had a list of preferred food & beverage caterers. The bride and I spent a lot of time working through menus and asking for RFPs. There were some that I did not even hear back from. Ces & Judy’s were right on top of it and were accommodating to all of our questions. We are from Kansas City with the wedding in St. Louis so we really only had reviews to go on while choosing our caterer for this event. Then, we hired a Day of Coordinator and she confirmed that Ces & Judy’s has great food and a great staff and that she had worked with them many times. We booked them without even a tasting as neither of us could get to St. Louis prior to needing to get someone booked. What a phenomenal decision. From start to finish, Ces & Judy’s went out of their way to work through menus and options with us. I’ve never planned a wedding before so their expertise was greatly appreciated. They responded to all of my emails in a timely manner and always answered my questions in great detail. The food and beverage planning portion of the wedding was so easy with Ces & Judy’s. Where Ces & Judy’s really shine is in the day of service that they provide. Darla was our event manager and she took such good care of us starting just prior to the wedding day. She confirmed all of our choices and made sure that everything was on the list that we needed including linen counts, silverware and cake service items. We had provided a couple of names that had dietary restrictions and Darla made absolutely sure what they needed, their names and where they were going to be sitting was covered on her end. The evening of, she personally came over and made sure our waiter gave the correct dishes to the correct people. Darla had me send her the room layout and I also had a list of who was at which table, where at the table and which meal they had selected. I don’t know that everyone has this to provide but our dinner service was absolutely flawless as far as I could tell. You could see the care to detail that Darla provided leading up to the big day. The waiters were incredible and checked on us constantly. The bartenders were always on their toes and made the best drinks. Not too strong, not too weak and delicious. And the food. Wow. We did get to go to a tasting after we booked Ces & Judy’s officially but did a tasting for any last-minute changes. The food the day of was as great as or even better than the tasting. We served three appetizers at the cocktail hour, a full dinner (salad & main with a roll) and a late-night snack. I’ve heard so many complements about the quality of the food and the plating. Ces & Judy’s also helped serve the individual cakes that my daughter chose which I think is incredibly helpful. Everything we provided was returned clean and in great condition. If you are looking for a quality caterer for your wedding or an upcoming event, I encourage you to try Ces & Judy’s. I promise you will not be disappointed!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Ces & Judy’s team multiple times, and I’m consistently impressed by their attention to detail, excellent communication, and top-tier service on event days. I’ve primarily worked with Candace, and she is an absolute joy—welcoming, incredibly professional, and organized beyond measure. I can always trust that she will follow through on everything that needs to be done, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable.
On the day of the event, the food is always delicious, and the service team is efficient, kind, and attentive, creating a wonderful experience for everyone involved. If you're looking for a caterer for your wedding or event, I highly recommend Ces & Judy's—they consistently deliver exceptional food and service!

As wedding planners we eat a lot of catered meals. Ces & Judy's is one of our favorite catering companies to work with. You cannot go wrong with their quality of food and amazing service.

Impeccable service, food and beverage variety for all tastes. Highly recommend for your catering needs.

Colleen and Ces were very helpful in coordinating our wedding's residential reception. From planning to execution, they were eager to work with us ensuring that our concerns were addressed such as dining layout and location. For example, we weren't limited on space for tables, but it wasn't straight forward either in where tables could go. They did an excellent job in helping us think through that, the buffet, and bar positioning & layout. They were also as kind as their food was great. And everyone thought their food was amazing!!! Would highly recommend :)
