I have worked with Joel Catering in many different ways over the last 20 years. They have done events for me personally as well professionally. My sister & brother in law just celebrated their 20th anniversary & people still talk about the food! It was a beautiful night filled with great food, great music and lots of dancing! A night that a couple dreams of having. Professionally I have worked with the Joel team for almost my entire professional career.
They love making delicious food that is also very visually appealing. Their team is professional, warm, and have a great sense of humor. They are not perfect, none of us are, but they have always been open to hearing constructive criticism and are always striving to please the client. Ultimately they want to make the client happy and make delicious food. I look forward to continuing to work with them personally and professionally for years to come, cheers

Although the venue was beautiful and the food was delicious. I had a horrible experience planning my October 2017 wedding. My event coordinator, Annie, was uninformative about many critical details, and as a result we lost thousands of dollars because of it. She never disclosed house rules until the eleventh hour at which point my husband and I had to take a loss.
I wrote her a letter the month before the wedding expressing my displeasure with the way our event was being handled and she promised me full disclosure and a better working experience. However the day of the wedding before I was about to walk down the aisle she told my flower girls that they could NOT drop flower peddles on their courtyard! Once again the eleventh hour and hundreds of dollars lost. All these months later I still live with these unpleasant memories on such a special day.

Great experience working with them on our wedding. We got married at a friend's house, and they helped us figure out how to set it all up--in addition to providing all the food and drinks. We didn't want to hire a wedding planner, so we really appreciated all the advice. The food was amazing- definitely the thing that all our guests still talk about- and their bartenders and waiters were great. Highly recommend.

Love Joel Catering! I planned my 2018 wedding with Annie and Melanie and the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. Annie was incredibly helpful from our first walk through to the day of the wedding, making wonderful menu suggestions and answering my millions of questions when I had no clue where to begin. Melanie was so helpful in the last month, tweaking the floorplan and go over my timeline to make sure I got it right! Truly, every person at Joel was so helpful and friendly.
My family is still talking about how great the food and staff were throughout the party. I highly recommend Joel Catering and their extraordinary team. You will be in great hands- and have great food too!
