50 Best Caterers near Madison

“Amazing food, amazing people! My family comes here weekly for everything - seriously fresh sandwiches (with nearly everything made in house), constantly changing dinner takeout, sweet treats (cookies, brownies, loaves), soups, quiches, and crave-able catering menus (Easter, Thanksgiving, Holiday, and any other special occasion). After almost a year, nothing has ever been short of fantastic.

Genuinely great food by genuinely great people. You can just tell they care about what they make & how they make it.

Thank you Chef Loryn & team!!“

“My husband and I weren’t into the idea of wedding cake, so we went with wedding donuts! From start to finish, Lauren was incredible to work with. Not only are her donuts ridiculously delicious, she was super accommodating and always quick to respond when we had any questions or concerns. She even let us borrow a donut wall and stands for the big day! Whether you want to treat yourself or have something fun and unique for a special event, Lauren and her donuts will not disappoint😊“

“really excellent food“

“Catering for Thanksgiving was great! Everyone enjoyed the food!“

“I honestly don’t think there are words to describe how amazing this entire experience was. From the initial tour, to the planning process, and all the way through the end of our wedding, every single person we interacted with could not have been more kind or helpful. I’m sure I drove them crazy with emails and changes, but they were beyond accommodating and truly did everything they could to make sure we were happy and that our wedding was perfect.

The office staff were so kind and helpful with my many, many emails. We worked with Max for the event planning process, and he made sure every question we had was answered and that our vision was brought to life. On the day of the wedding, everything truly was perfect. All of the venue staff from the bridal and groom attendants, maitre d’, etc. were some of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve ever met. The day ran so smoothly, and everyone did whatever they could to make sure my husband and I were happy and had everything we needed.

My guests still tell me how amazing the food was (especially the Traveling Treats desserts!). I highly recommend Crystal Plaza for any event! I truly don’t think I’ve been to a better wedding than my own, and that’s all thanks to them.“

“Picked up some wings, some stuffed chicken and some loaded potatoes. Very delicious the tuscon chicken was my favorite, it was sooo good!“

“Good afternoon FBF. Well I got about 2 hours of sleep and I am back at it again! I actually saved the most important thing that set this party aside from others... The biggest shout out to THE HANOVER MANOR. I want to thank the following individuals who made EVERYTHING possible for our events (Even our church's 180th Anniversary) Kudos to Angelo, John Tsanakos & Steve, all the staff and the maître d's for both occasions, I cannot thank you enough for all the accommodations you made that made each event spectacular. So if anyone needs a place to have an event, whether its your parents or your anniversary, weddings, birthday parties, family reunions or hell even a divorce party, I recommend The Hanover Manor in East Hanover, NJ located at 16 Eagle Rock Avenue. They are very reasonable. I appreciate Angelo, John & Steve because they appreciated me - no matter what! That is how a true business is ran. So hats off the everyone at The Hanover Manor. You have my vote for a few more celebrations in the near future! 🥰❤☺😄“

“Delicious food thank you for all the great meals 😋“

“Amazing amazing amazing the food was delicious the service was great and the Kremas reminded me of my family’s recipe! Definitely recommend them for the food is very traditional and you will love it!“

“My family and I have been frequenting Savory Selections Catering's Fish fry since we moved to Scotch Plains. It is one of our favorite dinner places. Felton Jones always has fresh food and a friendly greeting. Everyone should check it out! Tonight!“

“Michelle and her staff did a phenomenal job catering our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah luncheon this weekend. Everything during the planning process with seamless! Michelle is so delightful to work with! The food was delicious and we’re still enjoying the leftovers. I highly recommend Michelle’s Catering to anyone looking to provide their guests with spectacular food, presentation and service!“

“We recently celebrated our son's first birthday, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service and delicious food provided by Giuliano’s Catering Company. From the moment we reached out to them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident, ensuring that our event would be nothing short of perfect. The menu they curated for us was outstanding. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly tasty. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the variety and quality of the food. The grilled veggie platters were fresh and flavorful, the sandwiches were generously stuffed and impressively large, and the fruit platters were an absolute delight. Special mention to the Sloppy Joe’s Platter, which was a huge hit and had everyone coming back for seconds! Beyond the food, the team at Giuliano’s went above and beyond in their service. They were prompt, courteous, and truly attentive to our needs. Their staff handled set up seamlessly, allowing us to focus on the decorations and last minute details. They also took special care to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, Giuliano’s Catering Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Their dedication to excellence and passion for what they do were evident throughout the entire process. They played a significant role in making our son's first birthday a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch catering for any occasion. Thank you to Bill & Michelle for making our celebration so special. We look forward to working with you again in the future!“

“Best Philly Cheese steaks around!! Blue Angels special👍👍“

“Great food! I love the weekly specials, you won't be disappointed“

“Had my daughter wedding shower here the food was amazing the service was spot on . if your looking for an event for your next party its a must“

“I walked in out of the blue. The place is quiet and unassuming. I was greeted as I approached the counter. They were very, very welcoming. After a little bit it was like we knew each other well. They made me feel very comfortable. The food was very good with lots of flavor. My order came out relatively quick. We talked and I watched the game (MTY vs AME). I had a great experience and was very impressed with this place. I highly recommend anyone give it a try. Also, prices are very good and worth every penny!“

“We had Chef T cater our son’s baptism. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and quantity of the food provided — and everyone was raving about it! There was not a single item that I wish I had not chosen, and there were so many more options that we are excited to try in the future. The ordering process was easy and Chef T is extremely friendly. Thank you for helping make our son’s special day even better!“

“Booked Ronnie's BBQ for my husband's 50th bbq in our backyard. This was probably the best decision we made. Ruben and Jose made hamburgers, hotdogs, sausage & peppers, & bbq chicken for our 100 guests and it was ALL deliciously cooked. From the time I booked to the day of the event, the service from Ronnie's was definitely more than we could have hoped for. THANK YOU SO MUCH and we'll definitely be in contact again!“

“Great food and great service. Going back next week!!!!“

“The Great Wazu is the reason small businesses are the HEART of a community. I am a soon-to-be small business owner myself. I walked in this place tonight like I do every 1-2 weeks to get dinner. Sara behind the counter has gotten to know me and ALWAYS remembers my order. Tonight, she asked me what was new, and I told her I had been upset all day worrying about all the stuff I have on my plate right now getting my business ready to open. She was the sweetest. When I reached for my credit card, she told me my order was on her and gave me a hug and said, "You got this." It was one of the most human experiences I've ever had, and I just want everyone to know how special this place is. It's not just the sandwiches. It's the kindness.“

“Delicious, fresh, well constructed.“

“Had a beautiful baby sprinkle upstairs in the yellow and blue rooms and everything was wonderful! The food and tea were delicious and Jenna was so detail oriented and easy to work with, definitely book a party here!“

“Connected with Domenick from a colleague’s recommendation to use his services for a professional network event I was hosting this week. From start to finish, working with him and his team was a total breeze. He is polite, courteous, and straightforward and provides clear directive and recommendations. We booked DR Catering for passed hors d’oeuvres (including desserts!) and mocktails for our event, and I was thrilled to learn that he also handled furniture rental. The team was so professional and friendly. Our event went so smoothly thanks to the talents of Alejandro, Ricky, Lily, and Eloy who were staffed for the evening. Domenick made a top notch menu recommendation and I had 0 changes and loved every bite I took! The food and drink were plentiful and we had lots leftover to take home and enjoy again. I must have drank 12 of the spicy mojito mocktail. I absolutely recommend DR Catering and will be more than happy to use them again when we are in need of their services!!!“

“Simply Lisa's catered my daughter's birthday party. The food was amazing! Guests couldn't get enough of the eggplant rollatini! The service was impeccable. I highly recommend Lisa!“

“Buckle up. This review runs long. Read it if you are choosing a wedding venue.

Planning a wedding brings pressure. Venues. Bands. Planners. Florists. Stationery. The choices stack fast and anxiety follows.

We met Sam at The Park Savoy and the anxiety stopped immediately. He was calm, direct, and genuine. No sales pitch. No empty promises. From the first meeting, we felt grounded and confident.

We wanted a wedding that felt elevated and intentional. Grand but personal. Polished but full of soul. Our ideas were ambitious and detailed. Not once were we told no. Every request was met with clarity, reassurance, and execution.

The venue itself is breathtaking. Timeless. Immaculate. Thoughtfully designed. The groom’s suite felt refined and relaxed. The bridal suite was elegant, spacious, and serene. When guests entered the ballroom, it was pure magic. High ceilings. Perfect lighting. Dramatic architecture. It looked like something straight out of a Disney movie. Gasps were real.

Atmosphere mattered to us from the first step on the property. Irish traditional music welcomed guests. A pop up Guinness bar surprised them. Irish dancers launched the night with energy and pride. Nothing felt forced. Nothing felt restricted. Everything flowed.

Planning stayed seamless from start to finish. Communication between The Park Savoy and our vendors was proactive, precise, and professional. No gaps. No scrambling. No confusion.

As our date approached, the menu tasting set a new benchmark. The options were bold, generous, and thoughtful. On the wedding day, the food surpassed every expectation. Over 210 guests were served with consistency, quality, and care from start to finish.

Wedding day execution was flawless. Staff awareness was exceptional. Attention to detail bordered on surgical. It rained that day and we never noticed. Transitions were smooth. Timing was exact. The entire operation moved with quiet confidence and control.

Danny ran the room like a master conductor. Calm under pressure. Always two steps ahead. His presence kept everything sharp and synchronized.

Our concierge team was outstanding. Attentive without hovering. Present without pressure. Geraldine kept the groomsmen organized, fed, and relaxed while staying by my side all day. Eric in the bridal suite was phenomenal. Supportive. Efficient. Reassuring. Any bride lucky enough to have him is in expert hands. Every attendant operated at this same elite level.

Vinny and his family should be incredibly proud. Their staff embody excellence, pride, and professionalism. They are true ambassadors of the venue.

If you are deciding on a wedding venue, let this review make it easy. Choosing The Park Savoy validates itself long before the night ends.

Thank you for giving us a day that exceeded every vision we had.

“We just had a Summer Soirée which was catered by Ome caterers! The entire experience was wonderful! I can’t say enough about the sublime food, the professional staff (shoutout to Ali for all the help in planning and to Josh for his amazing managerial skills at the party)! The rest of the staff was equally professional and wonderful! Josh made sure to check in with me throughout the event and they were set up and ready to go on time! The food displays and fresh flowers elevated the atmosphere and was a perfect foil to my white party theme! The fresh raw bar, cheese display and the slider selections were phenomenal! The desserts were exceptional! They even provided a delicious gluten free dessert for those guests with gluten sensitivity. Everyone had a wonderful time! I would give them 10/10 for the entire catering experience! Josh made sure to leave some food for us as I never eat at my own event so we enjoyed the food the next day! We’ll definitely be using them again for future events! I look forward to trying all their menu options in the future!“

“What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“We feel so lucky to have had Judy cater our wedding (Masker’s Barn, 90 guests). I had never had anything catered in my life and Judy was so patient addressing all of my questions. All the food looked and tasted delicious. Among the guests' favorite dishes: Mini potato pancakes, honey glazed salmon filets (my favorite), stuffed shells with marinara sauce, oven-roasted baby potatoes. Judy was also able to accommodate my last minute requests for gluten free servings. Her staff were efficient and proactive and the way they arranged my mom’s desserts made her so happy. We look forward to working with her again!“

“The best service and dishes in the area! Of all the towns nearby, I've had catering from a handful and Cheryl's team delivers above and beyond, better than anyone else. I can't wait to order again for our next event. Thank you for your amazing food and excellent service!“

“I notice you don’t post any of the food you serve to the schools cause I have pictures and these are not them“

“My favorite catering place of all time. I’ve used them for Corporate Events as well as personal and I cannot rave about them enough. I’ve tried so many of their dishes and not only has everything always been delicious the presentation is beautiful. From appetizers to main dishes to desserts and even Sandwich and Salad platters Maggie Cooks impresses every time. Love this place!“

“We had The Fruited Plane cater our wedding. Drew and his team were EXCELLENT!! The food was amazing - we received so many compliments about it! I had to hide the leftovers from my family because the food was so good that the leftovers kept disappearing the day after the wedding. Drew is honest, hard working and a great chef! Don’t wait - hire him NOW!“

“Pleased and delighted with the job Pomp did for our Bar Mitzvah - Friday night dinner for 30 followed by a Shabbat Kiddush luncheon for 130, both with delicious food, tastefully served and arranged, and the kindest staff to prepare and serve. Highly recommend!“

“My family just held my baby shower here last week. I could not have been more happy with the result. The room was set up beautifully, the service was fantastic, and the food was the best part. Mangianos worked with my mom throughout the whole process. They were willing to make substitutions and even send left over food home with my mom. We had about 40 guests and there was plenty of space in their event room. My friends and family have been raving about the food, especially the shrimp! I could not recommend them more.“

“Best restaurant. Staff is great, food is great and prices are good. I'm from Montreal, Canada and everytime I go to New Jersey its a must that I eat at Top Knotch restaurant.“

“Best Caesar salad I ever had!“

“I’ve been going to the Hill City Deli since 1993 and love everything I’ve ever ordered; I live in Texas now, but I bring a cooler backpack with me on trips home JUST to load up Sloppy Joe Jrs, that’s how good they are. 14/10 would recommend!“

“very happy with the food. they catered an office party. thank you“
