Thompson's catered my wedding in May and provided the tent, tables, chairs, and dance floor. I highly recommend Mike and his team! He was so easy to communicate with in the weeks leading up to the wedding. The. staff that served at the wedding was professional and pleasant, and the food was delicious! We got so many compliments from our guests on the food. Thank you so much for helping us throw a fantastic wedding!

Due to covid, my wife and I had to find a caterer about 5 weeks before our wedding. Thompson was incredibly helpful. He provided a tasting, met every request, made great suggestions. The venue had specific requirements to be an approved venue and Thompson attended an orientation so that they can be approved. The day of the wedding, his staff was incredibly helpful, professional. We didn't have a wedding planner, so the captain really was a lifesaver in keeping everything organized. The bartender was great, they helped us put away our items. Last, but not least, everyone raved about the food. In short, I almost wish I could get married again so I could give them more business.
