Cater2Events is absolutely AMAZING, and I am so thankful they were apart of our wedding! Lona was truly incredible to work with, as we started to tell her our vision for dinner than quickly realized, my husband and I have very different tastes in food. However, Lona was able to create a menu that incorporates all of our favorite things, and helped us come to the decision of doing stations, and truly give our guests a unique dining experience, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding!During our tasting Lona made a variety of different things, and welcomed all feedback. Everything was absolutely delicious.During the wedding the team really all came together and provided the best service possible. From the cocktail hour, serving complex signature drinks, to the immaculate service, to the attention to detail and care in all things.The team went above and beyond, and even incorporated our dog (twinkie) into the deserts, by making the most delicious twinkies in the world - this attention to detail is what made us love cater 2 events!I highly recommend them for any and all catering events, especially weddings. However, we are planning to have them cater our future baby shower, sister’s bridal party, and more – that is truly how incredible this team was.

Lona and Gil are the best of the best. First of all they are incredible people and are so much fun to work with. They are responsive, professional and creative. The food is delicious and the presentation is phenomenal - wedding guests were talking about it for weeks after! They made a cigar box style roaming oyster station happen for us and it was such a hit. Do not miss the chance to book these two!!

I needed help when my mother passed away. I live in another state, Cater2events immediately took charge, and I did not have to worry about one thing. They handled set-up, food, flowers and beverages. Professional and kind.

My husband and I got married at Burlington on 11.04.23 and had Cater2Events provide our food and drinks. We had to move our original dates due to my husbands deployment and they were so flexible and understanding. We have received SO MANY compliments on how amazing our food was and how it’s the best our guests have had at a wedding. They provide more of an experience which was way more than we asked for. The bridal party and guests were tended to and taken such good care of. Cannot recommend them enough!

If I could give this company 10 stars I would. Lona and her husband run a tight ship and don't miss a thing. Not only is their food out of this world delicious, but the way it's presented just puts it over the top. From initial calls and picking the menu to the tasting and walk through, Cater 2 Events was so thorough and attentive that it felt like we were the only wedding on their schedule. Cannot recommend this team enough!!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have Lona and Gil from Cater2Events cater our wedding and let me just say they were fantastic. From our first meeting we just loved Lona and Gil. We had met with a few caterers who had good reviews and their food tasted good but the personal touch just wasn’t there. Everything felt very transactional. Then there was Cater2Events. Their food is phenomenal, their customer service is next level, and their wonderful/sweet personalities were just perfect. They really made us feel special through the whole process of catering our wedding. Their spread on the day of the wedding was gorgeous (will post photo once I’m able) and all of our guests just raved about the quality. We had multiple guests with dietary restrictions and they were more than accommodating, even making separate meals for our celiac guests Honestly I have nothing but great things to say about Cater2Events and if we ever need caterers in the future they will be my first call. Love them!

So glad that we were able to work with Cater2 Events for our wedding. After talking with a few caterers it was clear that Lona listened to what I was looking for and provided a menu that looked absolutely delicious! At the tasting, we knew we were making the right decision because all of the food was SO good, and as a plus Lona and Gill were so fun to talk to :) Prior to the wedding Cater 2 Events was so quick to answer all of my messages, and were able to help provide the right direction/solutions on everything. Leading up to the wedding, I was put at ease because I knew Cater 2 Events was going to be perfect, and it was clear they were prepared and were thinking of all the small details.Now for the food, it was absolutely delicious, they went above and beyond with everything they prepared from the appetizers to the stations, they were all so so good. They also presented all of the food so beautifully and all of the servers/bartenders were so kind. You could tell that each dish was prepared with love and detail and it definitely came across in the taste. Our guests are still talking about the food at the wedding, especially the shrimp and grits!

Gil, Lona and their entire staff at Cater2Events were simply amazing! The food was fantastic and the process was so simple because they were so easy to work with. The day of my daughters wedding, they did everything so very well and the staff was the most positive group of people you could ever hope for. To say I recommend them for your wedding experience is an understatement! I would give them 6 stars if I could!!

Cater2events was the best wedding caterer we could have asked for!! The food was phenomenal, we received so many compliments. Many said it was amazing, and that was from my foodie friends with tough standards!! We had a multicultural event, and we did our cocktail hour from an Indian caterer, but cater2 served and helped prep it all, and they did so with a smile! We could not have asked for a better experience. They are the best and this will be the best decision you make to use them!

Nicole LePere

We used Cater 2 Events for our wedding. Their food was spectacular - Lona worked with us to create a custom menu that reflected our favorite foods 9she even through in a cake topper!). We received high praise from all guests! The service was spectacular and the staff was extremely friendly & helpful!

Christine Greenberg

Communicative, punctual, flexible and a wonderful catering team for your wedding or large event! Lona and her team hustled from the moment they arrived to the wedding venue and took care of our clients and their guests until the very end of the night.We love working with Lona and her team!

Sara Hudson

Lona and her wonderful staff catered my daughter's wedding. Everything was perfect - from choosing the menu, through the tasting, all the communication throughout the process, the service, and the absolutely delicious food. It was the best banquet food I have ever eaten. I highly recommend Cater 2 Events!

Martha Bowden

Lona and her crew catered 2 rehearsal dinners and 2 wedding receptions for us in the past 3 months! They are the absolute best, most delightful people to work with! They help form delicious menus based on input from us and perfectly prepared and displayed all the delicious fare for us. They don't miss a detail and their staff is always so friendly and professional. We enjoyed rave reviews on the food from all 4 events and we had a great time working with them!I would like to add - I totally agree with so many of the other reviews - and agree that they deserve 10 out of 5 stars!!
