D&D Caterers went above and beyond to make mine and my wife's wedding reception special. We had Scallops, Shooter Meatballs, and Sausages for appetizers. For dinner we had stuffed chicken, mash potatoes, rice, and asparagus for dinner. Everything was delicious and our guests could not stop praising the food and how delicious everything was! It's been a couple days after our wedding and our guests are still talking about how fantastic the food and service was at our wedding! Drew and his staff will go above and beyond to make everything perfect for your wedding.

His expertise, experience in catering services will help prepare your wedding to be memorable. If you are planning your wedding and you want your food to be memorable call D&D Caterers! Thank you Drew and Dave for helping in making our special day memorable!

I hired D&D Caterers for a staff appreciation lunch for about 160 people. Their responsiveness, care and service were top notch, especially while they were on site before, during and after the event. The menu and quality of food options were perfect and enjoyed by all. This day was meant to revive a school staff who has had a tough first quarter of the school year. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to making this day special for such a well-deserving group!

Drew and Dave did an AMAZING job at our Welcome Wedding BBQ in Rhode Island. First of all and probably most importantly, their food was INCREDIBLE! We had chicken, steak and veggie kabobs with rice pilaf, caesar salad, watermelon and corn. The kabobs were to die for as they were so tender. All of the food was just fantastic. Drew and Dave came with absolutely everything needed for my party of 85 from their grill, their own buffet tables, chafing dishes, serving tools, high end paper goods and EVEN their own trash cans to remove the dirty plates.

The price was absolutely amazing given that they cook on-premises. Please know that in my professional life, I plan events as part of my work. I have worked with dozens of hotels, function halls, outdoor venues, caterers, etc. but in terms of EXCEPTIONAL food and value, D and D Catering owns first place! You will be thrilled to have them for your party!

D & D recently catered our awards event in Dartmouth, MA. They were very helpful in helping us work through a meal that fit our budget. WE also had to reschedule last minute because the hurricane was coming. The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked, the roasted potatoes were seasoned and tasty and the green beans were fresh! Everyone enjoyed the variety of finger pastries - I had the eclairs and they were delicious. Will definitely be coming back again for our next event.
