Just got married last Friday 10/25/2024 and used Blue Plate for our wedding caterer! What an amazing experience it was to work with them! They're accommodating for any dietary restrictions. They can make any meal happen! The meal at our wedding was high in our priority list, and our guest ranted and raved about how it was the best meal they have had at a wedding in years! We had Filet Mignon, miso glazed salmon, vegetarian stuffed peppers, potatoes, wild rice, carrots, green beans buffet style! Also did our desserts with them which was 3 different types of pies and cheesecakes! We wanted our guests to have plenty of options! Everything from the first inquiry, tasting, communication, checking in throughout the months, making accommodations and changes when needed, and making sure we needed anything before heading out, packing up the leftovers was amazing! We will be recommending Blue Plate to anyone in the future! You will not be disappointed!

Blue plate catering was an amazing company to work with for our October wedding in Oconomowoc! We got tons of compliments on the food from all of our guests. I knew it was going to be fantastic from the time my husband and I went there for a tasting. The catering staff (led by Nikki) was super friendly to all the guests and helpful for my guests with dietary restrictions. They saved a bunch of the leftover food for us to take home at the end of the day. Overall, they were an absolute joy to work with! 10/10 would recommend!

As we began our search for wedding vendors, one name consistently came up: Blue Plate Catering. Many people raved about them, claiming they were the best. The feedback highlighted their impeccable preparation and delicious food.
We reached out to Blue Plate Catering, and their responsiveness was impressive from the start. We scheduled a tasting, which was a wonderful opportunity to select the exact menu we wanted. Having a private tasting appointment was especially nice, as it allowed us to enjoy the experience without the distraction of random strangers.

Throughout the process, Ashley from Blue Plate Catering was our main point of contact. Her communication was exceptional, making it easy to get answers to all our questions. Picking up our rented table linens just a few days before the wedding was a seamless experience.

On the wedding day, the team arrived on time and had more than enough staff to ensure everything went smoothly. The popcorn and pretzel station for happy hour was a huge hit, and our guests loved the flavors! Dinner was equally delightful, and the team helped cut the Nothing Bundt Cakes for us.

Blue Plate Catering is a fantastic company—organized, delicious, and easy to communicate with. They have truly perfected their craft. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to ensure their event runs flawlessly.

We loved our whole experience with Blue Plate Catering! We met David at an Open House event that our venue was hosting, and from the first bite of food, we knew they were going to be a good fit for us. David’s communication was amazing, and we never had to worry about what next steps were, and he was very transparent about pricing. The tasting they set up for us was lovely, and we got to try so many options before deciding that we wanted to serve. I went in skeptical to trying the chicken, as chicken just never seems to be good at a wedding. After tasting their chicken-I was proved wrong. It was absolutely fantastic and they nailed it on day of as well. Chef Brent took great care in all of the food that he provided for our special day, and Amanda, our event lead, along with her team, just took fantastic care of us all.
The salad was fresh, chicken was tender, pork was flavorful, and our friends with dietary restrictions raved about the stuffed peppers. We had opted to do cookies rather than cake, and Blue Plate made sure we had milk, coffee and tea for our dessert bar as well. They truly seemed to care about our overall day being a success and they played such a big role in our day. We recommend them to anyone!

We loved working with Blue Plate for our wedding. The whole process was extremely low stress and pleasurable. From tasting to making last minute changes to the actual wedding, everything was completely seamless. These guys are absolute pros. We worked with Gary for our menu and tasting and had Nikki as our event lead, both of whom were great! We didn't have to worry about one thing on our special day and we're extremely grateful for that! We would absolutely recommend Blue Plate to anyone looking to cater a large event. The food was top notch and the experience was amazing. Thank you!!

Catering was our last vendor to book. When I was initially searching, they didn’t have our date available. When I checked again in May, they could cater for our day! During our tasting, David, made sure to include a Gluten Free/Vegan option as well. We were impressed that it actually tasted amazing!

Day of, there was no issues, both Hogan and Emily did an amazing job with the food and everyone loved the grazing table and popcorn bar we had booked as well.

We used Blue Plate for our wedding. The team, with Jon and Pat as the event lead and chef, was professional, quick, and served excellent food. We got compliments on the food from our guests on the day of AND after - especially the mashed potatoes and harvest vegetables. The whole process of working with Blue Plate was seamless and efficient, with clear communication from start to finish. They are the go-to in the Madison area for a reason. Easiest vendor to work with!

Blue Plate Catering catered our wedding this past Friday and I cannot recommend them enough!! Everything went so smoothly and the food was amazing. Our guests could not stop talking about how great it was! The staff was so attentive. They came up to me to make sure that I had everything that I needed during dinner and even saved us a plate of appetizers as we were taking photos during cocktail hour. If you are considering booking with Blue Plate, I HIGHLY recommend!

Blue Plate did an amazing job catering our wedding! They showed up early and got straight to work. The food was delicious and the set-up was organized and attractive to the eye. Our guests were big fans of the buffet style as they could go back and get more. Highly recommend Gary, our event lead, and Garrett, our chef. Both very kind and helped make our special day perfect!

Our catering experience for our June 2024 wedding was wonderful, thanks to Gary and the rest of the Blue Plate catering team. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main courses, every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The catering staff was attentive, ensuring that all our guests—150 in total—were well taken care of and served promptly. They also went above and beyond to accommodate special dietary needs. We received many compliments from our guests about both the timeliness of service and the quality and taste of the food. We highly recommend Blue Plate for any catering needs.

We had Blue Plate cater our 150 person wedding and we cannot recommend them enough! Gary, and the entire team, were wonderful to work with and they made the whole experience easy and seamless! Gary was able to work through all our questions with us, help us proactively address potential issues we didn't think of during the planning process, and the food, servers, and bartenders were all wonderful on the day!

David and the team at Blue Plate were fantastic! David’s communication was superb and he was very helpful in terms of making decisions during the planning process. He priced out various options for us and was very transparent! We had so many great reviews from our guests, particularly the taco bar and mashed potato bar! My favorite was the carving station. Additionally, the staff at our wedding were wonderful! They were seamless and worked with our venue perfectly. At the end of the night, we got to take home some leftovers, which were great for the next couple of days. Highly recommend Blue Plate!
