We booked Masterson's to caterer our wedding reception and they made it such an amazing experience! Emily was our main contact and she was extremely easy to work with and was very helpful throughout the whole planning process! Everyone loved the food and thought it was TO DIE FOR! Our meal was plated, and we had a guest count of about 180 but it went flawlessly. They truly are so professional, and their staff is AMAZING!
People still come up to me and tell me how smooth dinner went and how good the food was! We also had Masterson's provide the bartending services which everyone loved! The drinks were perfect! We also had four signature cocktails, and each had a special garnish or something a little extra which really impressed guests!

Masterson's serviced our wedding this past fall. We have nothing but positive things to say! The food was delicious and every member of the Masterson's staff was courteous, prompt, & exceedingly helpful. They were a major player in helping our wedding run as smoothly as it did. Highly recommend!

We chose Masterson's catering for our wedding. My goodness, we got so many compliments. The servers were very friendly and attentive and the food was amazing. Brian was so accommodating, professional and easy to work with. We had a hot chocolate bar with true homemade hot chocolate - all the kids loved it. If you're looking for a caterer, Masterson's should definitely be on the top of your list.

Masterson's just catered my sons wedding and we received so many complements on the food and presentation! The stuffed Chicken breasts were fabulous and as well as the flank steak with chimichurri sauce! Highly recommend them!

I am writing this as the bridesmaid of a wedding that they catered this past weekend. They were incredible. Yes, they were an hour late due to unexpected road stuff, but they called as soon as they knew, and were more than communicative. Also, despite being late, they were set up on time, and everyone was absolutely incredible. They were responsible for setting up the bar, linens, tableware, and food stations.
The room was the most beautiful that I have ever seen a wedding be. And the food. TO DIE FOR. It was all that the wedding guests were STILL talking about the next morning at the farewell breakfast. I can promise you that you should have no hesitation in hiring and trusting them.

Used Masterson's as one of the caterer's for my mom's 90th birthday surprise party. I know, risky surprising a 90 year old! But not risky at all selecting Masterson's for the catering! Worked with Emily for the food, it was spot on. The staff and crew at the party were professional, friendly and part of the family by the end of the night! It's no wonder this family owned company has been around so long. they treat every party, every event as if it was their own. Thanks again for an amazing event!

My husband and I used Masterson's for our wedding in 2016 at Buffalo Trace Distillery. My emails and calls during the planning process were always promptly returned, and they worked with me to create the themed bourbon menu I wanted. Customer service=excellent. Food was fresh and presented nicely. The pulled pork was DELISH! They even packed a dinner cooler for my husband and I to take home. Had a great experience!
