One of the smartest decisions we made when planning our wedding was hiring Purple Onion Catering. They were beyond incredible throughout each step of the planning process and especially on our big day in November. We had the honor and privilege of working with Phoebe. She took so much time to listen to our interests and needs to curate the most spectacular food and drink menu for cocktail hour, reception, desserts, and late night snacks. They also made sure to provide appropriate signage for each hors d'oeuvre and that all tablescapes looked perfect. Our guests RAVED about the drinks, food, and desserts so much throughout the night and months following. They shared how impressed they were with the incredible service of the staff as well. If you are planning a wedding in the area, you MUST hire Purple Onion, you won't regret it. Thank you endlessly for everything, we truly cannot thank you enough!

I worked with Purple Onion for a Celebration of Life home reception following a funeral. They were excellent. The menu ideas were exactly what we wanted and the process was seamless. The set up, food displays, food and service were outstanding. To have a caterer provide such excellent service during a difficult time was priceless.

We used Purple Onion Catering Co to provide staffing and hors d'oeuvres for our 90th birthday party, and they knocked it out of the park. Coordination was simple, flexible, and timely. The food at the event was fantastic, and the service was top notch. Everything ran smoothly, and the staff was friendly and efficient. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend their services.

I worked with Purple Onion on a 'high stakes' holiday open house. Margaret Z took the time to understand my goals, budget, and unique circumstances. She offered menu ideas, and creative strategies to make the event a success. We communicated often, and she was always responsive and patient.The team onsite was knowledgeable, calm and confident. They transformed the space into a beautiful and festive setting, and went over and beyond to ensure that the guests were well taken care of. The food was delicious, and the servers were all kind and professional. I highly recommend Purple Onion.

I worked with Margaret for catering for a company event, Her and the team are absolutely amazing! The staff were so welcoming and friendly. The food was amazing, everyone raved about it! Their team comes in and knows exactly what they're doing. Their service is impeccable. They really put a lot of effort and care into their food and client. Definitely will be catering from them again!

Delicious food, timely service and friendly staff, what more could you want in a catering company? Abby was great, Paige also. Thanks for your help with our holiday parties!

I used this catering service for a milestone birthday party, and they were phenomenal to work with. Very responsive and competitively priced to other caterers I contacted. The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. Many guests remarked on how good the food was, and they had many gluten free options for family members with food allergies. They made our event a total success!

I used Purple Onion Catering for my wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic!! The service was on point, the food was delicious and they allowed us to adapt our menu to suit our tastes (for example, I wanted custom mocktails!). But most importantly, they could handle my life-threatening peanut allergy. They completely understood and were accommodating, "bride has peanut allergy" was marked on every catering sheet. I didn't have to worry about what I was eating on my wedding day and that meant the WORLD to me. Thank you Purple Onion for a delicious and stress-free wedding reception :)

Purple Onion is the best of the best when it comes to food. Everyone raved about the appetizers, meals, and the dessert bar. They are second to none in terms of quality of their food. The catering staff was great and attentive during the wedding. Planning also went well for the first half of our experience but became much harder later on; we found it very difficult to get responses nearing the end of the planning process and were waiting for a final invoice 3 days before our wedding which became very stressful. We also experienced some chaos at the wedding where allergens were not checked before food made it to the floor and multiple people with tree nut allergies received meals with nuts and no one was aware until someone alerted us (the bride and groom) that there was an issue and we had our planner address it. We found out after the wedding that those guests never received new salads which was incredibly disappointing. Most importantly, we didn't receive an apology from the manager or anyone on the catering team. Given that the issue could have had major consequences if we hadn't been made aware, we really expected more from PO. It saddens me to write this because the food and the customer service early on was immaculate.We would absolutely use PO for a future event, but I think we'd have to consider working with a different coordinator.
We had an exceptional experience working with Purple Onion to cater our recent October wedding from beginning to end! My husband and I are vegetarian and we wanted our menu to be something that both we and our meat-eating family members would love. The menu they helped us put together exceeded all expectations! They were incredibly flexible and open to our feedback to make it exactly what we envisioned. Throughout the process, their team was always friendly and responsive when we wanted to tweak or swap something. We had so much fun at our tasting and on wedding day, every single staff member was conscientious and professional. They are well established in the catering space and it shows in their efficiency and care for presentation. The whole night we got compliments on the food including "I can't believe this is vegetarian, it's SO good!" and "We've been to 4 weddings this year and your food is the best by far!". What more could you hope for! The care that they put into our event from the pre-ceremony refreshing drinks to the gorgeous centerpieces they helped set up and of course to the insanely delicious food they made really took our event over the top. We couldn't recommend them more highly for your next catered event!

Purple Onion provided incredible catering services for our wedding! From our first tasting with Purple Onion, we knew that Cassie, Elle, and the rest of the team at Purple Onion were perfect for us. The food was incredible, and the team was super friendly and helpful. With catering representing such a large part of the wedding budget we really appreciated how Purple Onion worked with us to create a menu and service that fit into our budget while creating a perfect experience for us and our guests. Their patience with us while we went back in forth on a number of options was exceptional. The service they provided at the wedding was very professional and the food was super tasty! Everyone raved about the hors d'oeuvres especially!

I absolutely loved Purple Onion! We used them to cater our wedding based on the recommendations of our planner and tons of positive online reviews. And they really lived up to all the recommendations. The people we worked with were all so friendly and knowledgeable, I loved the tasting experience, and the fact that we got to try literally all the food that was served at our wedding. And the food itself was DELICIOUS! Multiple people told us the food was amazing. At the end of the night, they even boxed up extras for us to take home!The best part though was that they specifically made a few cultural dishes for us! We gave them a few recipes of dishes specific to my country, and they tried them all! We ended up picking just one (because the other appetizers they had were just too good), but the fact that they were willing to try and then made them for our wedding impressed me so much. I 100% recommend Purple Onion!

We used purple onion catering for our last minute wedding. Not only were they able to give me a full menu in THREE WEEKS time, but the food was delicious and they made sure that my husband and I had food and drinks at all time. They worked well with my day of coordinator, as well. All my guests are raving about the phyllo apple brie roll. It was AMAZING. Thank you so much for helping make my wedding amazing. We are so grateful!
