Absolutely Amazing! Every single time I have reached out to Marquis they have been accommodating. We have severe nut allergies and Marquis took our allergies very seriously and took our recommendations in "safe" companies. We had zero issues (we didn't let our son eat the rolls just out of habit) and it felt good to just relax and enjoy our vow renewal without watching the kids like a hawk. Thank you sooo much.

I have used Marquis catering at least once a year for for the last 10 years or so. We have always been more than satisfied. The quality and professionalism is always top notch. They have always worked with on many different types of parties, fundraising events and graduations. Scott the owner, has always been so helpful and accommodating. We have also picked up family style meals during the pandemic which has been a nice relief from cooking and we know it's always delicious. We have recommended Marquis to many of our family and friends and they have all been satisfied.

We've used Marquis Food Service for graduation parties, a bridal shower, and a wonderful post wedding event in our backyard. Scott and his team are top notch professionals when it comes to planning and executing an important event. The food is always wonderful, and I appreciate how much time Marquis takes with the presentation of the food. Setup and cleanup is always done well! I won't do another event without Marquis Food Service!

In addition to hiring Scott, I've watched him support a local woman who is battling ALS. Scott has supported an annual bowling fundraiser for five years running! He understands that giving back to the community you serve is so important. Bravo Marquis Food Service! Hiring Marquis to cater your next event is a smart decision!

You won't find better quality food, prepared and professionally presented, no matter what your occasion. We have used them for years and have never been disappointed. Make them your "go to" caterer for everything from a cocktail party to a wedding and everything in between. Book early!

Have used them many times for all sorts of events and always reliable, professional, excellent food-- ribs are out of this world! Coconut shrimp or chicken just yummy! Just had the brunch menu for a baby shower and it was awesome with a terrific variety -- something for everyone plus more. Definitely a repeat.
