12 Best Caterers in Madison

“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!“

“My husband and I are so happy we went with Upstairs Downstairs Catering for our wedding a few weeks ago. Ingrid was delightful to work with from the very beginning. She communicated in a timely and professional manner, attended to all of our requests, and took care of all the little details so we didn’t have to stress.

On the day of, Upstairs Downstairs made sure everything ran very smoothly and stayed on track. The service was excellent! All of the wait staff were such hard workers and so pleasant to be around. We received many compliments about the food as well. The favorites seemed to be the Butternut Squash Ravioli, and the Garlic Mashed Potatoes (both so good!). We also had appetizers through UpDown, and they took care of set up/clean up and serving them as well. You will not regret choosing Upstairs Downstairs for your big day!“

“The owner is such a sweet woman. Our son dropped his donuts this morning and she gave us free replacements almost immediately because she was there doing deliveries at the orchard. You made my son’s morning! He was heartbroken that he dropped his food. What a wonderful turn of events and unexpected compassion in today’s world. Thank you for being better.“

“I recently used Twisted Radish Catering for my wedding reception at the Frank Lloyd Wright Taliesin Visitor Center in Spring Green WI and they were absolutely fantastic! COMMUNICATION: I live out of state and thought it might be difficult to work remotely with a caterer, but Nicki made the whole experience easy and fun. I really felt like she took the time to make sure I was happy with everything and was always available to chat on the phone or quick to respond to my emails. GRAZING BOARDS + APPETIZERS: I was drawn to Twisted Radish by the photos on their website of their elaborate grazing boards (because appetizers are always one of my favorite parts of a wedding..), and it was so fun creating a delicious spread with Nicki's help. The end result was even better than I expected, she went out of her way to make sure everything was displayed beautifully and it all tasted amazing. DINNER: We did a plated dinner with three different main course options - Wedding Day Salmon, Herbed Tri Tip and Apple Cider Chicken. Each plate came with heirloom carrots with rosemary and orange, garlic broccoli with chili flakes, roasted fingerling potatoes, poached pear salad and sourdough dinner rolls. She even surprised us with butter boards for the rolls! Every dish tasted amazing, even better than I imagined. COFFEE AND DESSERT: Nicki set up a incredible coffee station complete with almond and oat milks in vintage carafes. I have a lot of coffee snobs in the family, and they all approved of the coffee. She also make us two homemade ice cream flavors (vanilla bean and blackberry) that were fantastic. STAFF: Everyone from Twisted Radish was so kind and extremely professional. You can tell they love what they do. I would 100% recommend Twisted Radish for any future events needing delicious and beautiful food. I feel extremely lucky they were available because I feel like we got the very best of the best!“

“Rocky is the man! We reached out to SoHo as we are an Asian/Caucasian couple, and wanted a Korean/American fusion menu for our wedding. We also always envisioned a food truck, which we saw was possible with SoHo. We reached out and were quickly put in contact with Rocky, who let us know that he was more than happy to help us realize our vision.

When I tell you the food was good, it was literally all people could talk about the entire night. From the egg rolls to the Korean beef, everything they made was a hit. Rocky was even able to prepare a meal in advance for us to eat privately before the reception while we shared our vows.

SoHo made our dreams come true, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with them again in the future. Thank you Rocky!“

“For two working parents who are strapped for time to make tasty and healthy meals, Mandy has been a lifesaver. She quickly figured out our preferences and provides menu ideas that we and our kids love. It's always a great day to come home from work and find the fridge and freezer full of fresh, delicious, ready-to-go food! -- Jason and Sarah Rasmusen“

“Bunky’s is simply amazing! They catered our wedding 12 years ago. Authentic Mediterranean food, expertly prepared, with superb customer service... highly recommend!“

“Haley is an incredible person to work with and led all catering aspects for our wedding at the Overture Center with Catering a Fresco. Her attention to detail helped us figure out our catering contract, set up our menu tasting and ensured all guests who had dietary restrictions were cared for. One of our friends is vegan and was absolutely delighted by the delicious vegan entree they made specifically for her! Our guests are still raving about the entrees, sweets table, signature cocktails and the late-night mac 'n' cheese bar! All Catering a Fresco staff from the waiters to bartenders were kind and provided professional service throughout the evening. Thank you so much to Haley and her team for being wonderful partners in planning and coordinating the catering of our wedding.“
