I used to work with this company. I had a awesome Crew every time I went to work an event with them. Hand's down for the chef she made some good variety of different types of foods that I have never tasted. But just looking at it and the great smell I couldn't turn her food away. Definitely delicious. Other than that the employees and the owner were wonderful people. And very organized and understanding.

We went with Rosemary's Catering after reading several reviews about how amazing the food was, and they did not disappoint. My wedding passed just a week ago and our guests are still commenting on how amazing the food was! Rosemary's Catering went above and beyond. Their food was well seasoned, not the usual dried out catered food you get at weddings, and it came out hot! I'm so thankful to the amazing chef's with Rosemary's Catering for making our wedding meal so perfect. Would recommend a thousand times.
