Incredibly Skilled Team & Exceptional Hospitality
Top-tier caterers make a venue manager's job easy, and Windows does exactly that. Punctual, professional, and incredibly skilled—they execute events at all Fathom Gallery locations with complete precision. The food is top-notch, the staff is proactive, and the execution is flawless from start to finish. 5 stars every single time!

It was such a pleasure working with Debbie and her team at Windows. They did an amazing job catering our wedding of about 110 people. From the very beginning of the process Debbie was thoughtful, professional, and brought so much attention to detail in our planning. The tasting was fun and allowed us an opportunity to pick and choose what would work best for day of. I also appreciated Debbie’s input when it came to the menu. We had several guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions and windows were able to accommodate all of them. Knowing we not be working with a florist, Windows provided our center pieces. Beautiful white flowers and greenery surrounding three candle holders of different heights. A beautiful touch that helped bring the space together. When it came to day of planning, Debbie was able to help with managing a smooth timeline and ensure all the food was prepared and ready tasting its absolute best. We’ve received tons of compliments on how delicious the food was from our guests. The short rib melted in your mouth and the Halibut was cooked to perfection and served to guests quickly not compromising its quality. For our vegan friends they noted the cauliflower steak was one of the best dishes they’ve had at a wedding. All in all we cannot recommend Windows enough! There are usually two ways people remember wedding food and we feel so lucky that guests walked away full and raving about how good ours was!
Mark Robertson•May 4, 2026Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It was a true pleasure working with you, and we’re thrilled to hear that Debbie and the Windows team helped make your wedding day so special. We’re especially happy your guests enjoyed the menu and that the florals added to the overall feel of the day. Wishing you both all the very best!

BEST food and service
We had Windows cater our brunch, and they did not disappoint! The food was divine (our guests asked for to-go boxes!) and the service was impeccable. DELICIOUS!

Sydney and the Windows team were phenomenal to work with, and helped make our event truly memorable. Let' start off with Sydney. She was an absolute delight to work with on the event; very responsive in her communications, and when I had an idea, she found a way to make it happen. Where other caterers have insisted on throwing out any remaining food from an event (a pet peeve of mine, since I paid for the food), Sydney packaged it up for us to take home (a big plus for me). The food itself was absolutely delicious. I really wanted lobster rolls, and Windows delivered. Sydney presented a host of menu options, and I tweaked it for personal preference. Multiple guests commented how much they liked the 'passed around' food. The min-cheeseburgers and tomato soup shooters were particular favorites. The macaroni-and-cheese was a bit disappointing, as it was mostly JUST macaroni, with only a little cheese. Not like it was bad, but not the star of the show. One small thing to be aware of was the difficulty of using their payment system. I did not want to pay the 3% charge to use a credit card, so I was given instructions on how to make a direct deposit to a bank to avoid the credit card fees. I followed instructions, deposited the money in the specified account... and had the funds returned (unpaid) several weeks later. I then had to make payment a second time - frustrating and annoying. If you are familiar withe Dos Equis beer commercials, "I don't always have my events catered, but when I do, I always turn to Sydney R. and Windows Catering."
Windows Catering•Oct 26, 2026Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted that Sydney helped bring your ideas to life and that the lobster rolls, mini cheeseburgers and tomato soup shooters were such a hit. We’re also glad her attention to the details, including packaging the remaining food for you to take home, made your experience even better. We’re sorry the macaroni and cheese fell short of expectations and that the payment process caused unnecessary frustration. We appreciate your candid feedback and will share it with our culinary and finance teams. Your Dos Equis-inspired sign-off made us smile! We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Sydney. Thank you for choosing Windows Catering, we’d love to help make your next event just as memorable.
