Delightful! That's how I would describe my experience with Trumps Catering. They had multiple tastings throughout the year where you can try a variety of food options for your event. In particular, Christina was great! She's very helpful and quick with responses. On top of their customer service, the food is amazing! Everything we ordered for our wedding buffet was so tasty. We received multiple commitments on it. The service staff who helped out day of our wedding was too notch. They were attentive without being pushy and very service oriented. Highly recommend them for your next big event!

We hired Trumps to cater a rehearsal brunch honoring our son and new daughter in love and everything was amazing. We live three hours away from the venue and chose Trumps based on their quick response, excellent communication, and reviews. They did not disappoint. Thank you!

I hired Trumps Catering for my daughter's wedding December 2020. They did an absolutely fabulous job. The food was so delicious and everyone was making comments to us about how wonderful the food was. The staff was very professional and helpful. It was always an easy process dealing with them and a pleasure. I would recommend to anyone wanting an event catered well with delicious food.

I can't recommend Trumps Catering enough! People are still raving to us about our wedding food and have told us multiple times that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Not only was the food great, but the staff and everyone we dealt with at Trumps Catering from day one was super professional and incredibly helpful! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with them and would recommend them to anyone!
