Stephen and his team are beyond fabulous- Had a bridal shower for 35 ladies and everyone raved about how good the food was. That Mango Chicken is delish. But more than the food was how kind the guys were who stayed and served and I felt like I knew Stephen by the end of all the planning. Such a great catering company from start to finish. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this company

It was great working with Stephen. Due to covid we had a small reception at our home. His service was amazing and made our day special. We had a served 3 course meal. Our menu was mixed with vegan options and non vegan (I'm vegan, my husband is not) I loved the vegan options! The food was delicious, our guest were pleased.

To Stephen and the incredible staff at Melrose catering We could not be happier with the services you provided for our wedding day. Of course, the food was delicious and the portions were huge, but what really impressed us was your attention to detail. From our first meeting, Stephen offered advice and helped to ensure that our wedding day when as smoothly as possible, in every aspect. He is like a caterer and wedding coordinator in one.
So knowledgeable with many years of experience and we are so thankful for his guidance. Our guests were so impressed with their meals and the service Melrose provided. We will definitely be using your company again in the future. Thank you so much.

Melrose Catering knocked it out the park for our wedding! The food was fantastic and the service was even better. We had them do food, rentals, and drinks and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Stephen is so knowledgeable and a great communicator. Will absolutely use Melrose Catering for future events!
