    Catering

    Rich's Catering & Special Events did an outstanding job catering our private venue, tent wedding. Jennifer’s communication was easygoing and responsive via email and phone during the planning process. The food quality was exceptional across the board - every dish was delicious, artfully presented, and high end. Our guests continue to rave that our wedding had the best wedding food they've ever tasted. Rich's was also wonderfully accommodating of some guests' strict dietary restrictions. Even our vegan guest was thrilled with his meal options. Overall, we highly recommend their services for any special event requiring exceptional catering.
