Bockers has done many caterings for our sorority gatherings. Aly and her staff have been more than accommodating for us. I highly recommend them for any catering you need.

If your looking for delicious food served by a professional staff for your event without a doubt give Ali a call you will not be disappointed. We had nothing but positive comments on the meal she provided our quests for our wedding reception.

Bockers served the food at our wedding and rehearsal dinner in August, and our friends and family are still talking about how good both dinners were! Bockers was super accommodating to our needs, easy to work with, quick with their responses, and they even incorporated Call Hall ice cream into our sundae bar! My vegetarian and vegan friends were really thankful that Bockers also took the time to create separate meals for them to eat at the wedding, too. I would definitely use Bockers again for future events!
