Katherine Sent on 07/08/2024Delicious and professional
We hired Blue Plate as our wedding caterer and their meals we just as good as we knew they'd be after our tasting. Everything was cooked perfectly, and all of our guests' dietary restrictions were met without error. The plated dinner service went incredibly smoothly, and we were especially pleased to find a sampling of the passed appetizer we had missed during our cocktail hour waiting for us at our head table. We had several guests come up to us during and after dinner to tell us how good their food was, so we know it wasn't just our meals that were prepared with care. We also rented table linens, napkins, China, and flatware with Blue Plate and everything looked lovely. Easy 5 stars – we’d recommend Blue Plate for any event and especially for an event as important as a wedding.Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Katherine and Keith,
Your wedding was so beautiful, and we are over the moon that you had a great experience with our team. Thanks for sharing your experience with future couples, and congratulations from the entire Blue Plate team! -

Kathleen T. Sent on 06/06/2024Best Wedding Reception Caterer in Madison Area
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with and enjoying Blue Plate for our wedding cocktail hour, reception and late night snack. They had so many great options to choose from no matter the style of dinner we wanted, or how we wanted appetizers for our cocktail hour. We had so many rave reviews from all three aspects they were involved from our guests. David was very attentive to our consultation calls and emails that it made our wedding planning very smooth. Highly recommend Blue Plate Catering for any event, big or small.Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Taylor,
We loved celebrating you and Kathleen at The Lageret, and hope you continue to hear great things! Congratulations from the whole Blue Plate team!

Bethany J. Sent on 03/21/2024Great Food and STELLAR Service
Working with David at Blue Plate for our rehearsal dinner and wedding was incredible start to finish. While they offered plenty of options for those that aren't sure where to start, they also let us design an almost completely custom menu, encouraged and took all the feedback at multiple tastings, and made sure both events ran smoothly. Not only was the food delicious (we continue to get compliments from our guests), but their customer service was STELLAR. Would recommend to anyone still in search of a caterer.Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Bethany and Tristan,
Thank you for the opportunity to delight your guests at both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. The culinary team loves the opportunity to create custom menus and our event team loves to serve. Enjoy your honeymoon, and please don’t be strangers!!

Brody P. Sent on 09/18/2023Amazing food
Blue Plate, specifically David, was so great to work with when trying to figure out which caterer we wanted to go with for our wedding. They were super up front about everything and helped guide us choose our linens, style of service, and the food without trying to push us into spending more. They are a little pricy but what you pay is definetly worth the price! My wife and I didn't have much time to grab our own hors' d'Oeuvres during cocktail hour, but Blue Plate was on top of it and made sure that we both had one or two of each sitting at our head table as we sat down for dinner. The food itself was so delicious! The chicken tortellini was by far our favorite and we had guests tell us they even went up for thirds because it was so good. We have already recommended Blue Plate to our other friends in Madison, you won't be dissapointed!Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Thanks for sharing your experience, Brody! The chicken tortellini is a hit, and it's wonderful to hear that the guests enjoyed the evening. We are honored to have catered for you and with you the absolute best. -

Lexi K. Sent on 03/03/2023Great food, great service
Blue Plate has great food and great service! We had Blue Plate cater a plated dinner followed by dessert and late-night snack bars on February 25th, 2023, at the Field's Reserve in Stoughton WI. The food was wonderful, served hot, and served promptly. The service staff was wonderful. They made sure all the right tables were served first and they came up multiple times in the night to check in with us. They even offered to grab us drinks from the bar. Gary was easy to communicate with and always provided the best customer service. I was hesitant about a meal being cooked off-site, but Blue Plate nailed it. Additionally, their prices are reasonable for the service they are offering in the area. Many of our family and friends are "foodies" who appreciate a good steak and can easily point out a bad one, but Blue Plate managed to wow them. In fact, many our guests came up to us throughout the night and mentioned how much they liked the food. I would recommend Blue Plate for a wedding or any event for that matter. Make sure to try the tortellini with chicken and pesto!Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Thanks for such kind and thoughtful words, Lexi! It was a pleasure to cater for you and Jason, and hearing that we nailed it really does make our day that much more special. Again, congratulations!

Alicia L. Sent on 01/12/2023Fine Dined Feast by The Pros
The only request by the groom for our wedding was a fine steak. Blue Plate came in and fine dined us and our guests which lead to the best dinner party of all times. Our guests were raving about the food and we were flattered by how pampered we were by the BP servers. Our feast could not have been possible without BP and they're the pros!Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Alicia,
These are probably some of the most gracious words we have ever heard. Planning your wedding was a privilege, and we are so pleased that we were included in your group of all star vendors. Best wishes from all of us, and we hope our paths cross in the future!

Brie B. Sent on 12/08/2021Good food!
We were so pleased with Blue Plate and their staff. We worked closely with Gary who was so responsive and approachable with all of our questions and provided us with needed guidance/recommendations throughout the entire process. He was also so accommodating during our tasting and gave us all of the options requested, as we are foodies and essentially wanted to try everything! He was also so patient with us as we changed our menu several times up until the final decision/head count needed to be made for the event. During our cocktail hour/reception, the staff with Blue Plate were so professional, attentive, and willing to help out at every corner, even asking us Bride and Groom if we needed drink refills, more food, napkins, etc! Food was excellent and delicious also with great flavor and was perfectly warm throughout the whole meal! You will not go wrong by choosing this catering team!Blue Plate Catering's reply:
It was our pleasure to serve you and your guests, Brie! It's wonderful to hear that Gary was responsive and helped guide you through the process. Being attentive to each couple's specific needs is a huge part of who we are, and we're so happy to hear that from start to finish, you felt well cared for.
We wish you the best, and happy holidays! -

Stirling P. Sent on 10/31/2021Excellent Costumer Service!
The Blue Plate Catering staff went above and beyond expectations. Due to my spouse having a health scare earlier in the year, David from Blue Plate was able to provide us with nutritional facts in the food we ordered. At the event, the staff went around to each table and made sure all of our guests were satisfied and asked if they need anything (more food, beverages from our bar service, napkins, etc.). They also took charge and broke down tables and chairs to create space for the dance portion of the reception. Not to mention the food was amazing and exactly what we wanted!Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Stirling,
It was such a pleasure to serve you and your guests. We're so happy to hear that the Blue Plate team was quite helpful, and even more so that they took the initiative to help move the night along. Thanks for trusting us with such a huge part of the big day, and we wish you and Andy the best!

Aura W. Sent on 09/22/2021Say YES to the BEST Catering!
David and the whole Blue Plate team are truly the best! They were so wonderful and easy to work with. We used them two separate times for our re-re-planned weddings, and they stuck with us through it all. I am so grateful to them for being so generous and accommodating over the past year. I HIGHLY recommend Blue Plate catering for any event. The food is to die for, and the service is just exceptional.Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Aura, YOU are the best. Thanks for being such a wonderful bride, and maintaining a sense of joy through all the craziness. It was a pleasure to serve you both times, and we hope to see you soon! -

Meghan R. Sent on 06/09/2020Beyond Amazing in Every Single Way!
Gary and Blue Plate went above and beyond from the very beginning. In a sort of "worst nightmare" situation, our wedding plans were rocked twice...once by the sudden bankruptcy of our reception venue and then again by the pandemic. In both situations, Blue Plate was professional, supportive, and incredibly flexible. Gary, who we worked with, was so knowledgeable and helped guide us through every step of the way. He was patient, always answered our questions in a timely and friendly manner, and provided amazing customer service! Being from the Madison area, we had both already eaten their food at various events we had frequented over the years, so we knew that was great already, but we were so pleased with the amazing service they provided as we navigated our own wedding planning! We would certainly recommend them to any couple looking for a caterer for their wedding day!Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Meghan,
Thanks for your encouraging words! We're so thankful that we have an opportunity to serve you and be flexible in these times. Being able to support couples is why we do what we do - so thanks to you too!

We loved the appetizers and dinner! We had Kristin and Greg for our bartender and caterer. They were professional, followed COVID precautions, and made sure food or beverage were always in hand. What more could you want?! -

Leanne M. Sent on 10/09/2020Best Weddimg Catering I Have Ever Had!
Blue Plate Catering was everything we wanted and more! Due to COVID, we changed our wedding venue and ended up needing a caterer 4 weeks before our wedding date... this tight of a timeline can be stressful but David was so kind and reassuring. Thanks to David and his team we were able to have a delicious dinner buffet that was served safely to our guests. Blue Plate also helped serve our desserts to guests from our dessert buffet table to prevent any cross contamination. I was very impressed with the can-do attitude and friendliness. David was very accommodating and helped us provide sweat tea for our family members from the south.
The number one thing that stood out to me was how attentive the staff was to the wedding party. I have been in 3 weddings and have never before been able to partake in appetizers, Blue Plate came up to the wedding party both before and after the ceremony, asking if we were hungry (before the ceremony) and brought us a tray of appetizers when we were taking photos during cocktail hour. I was so thrilled to actually be able to eat the appetizers that we had picked out and really appreciated the extra effort from the staff. Thank you Blue Plate Catering, Jon, Greg, Miranda and Lizzie for making our wedding day dreams come true.Blue Plate Catering's reply:
Leanne, It was such an honor to partner with you for your wedding. You handled all of the changes surrounding COVID with such grace. We wish you nothing but the best, and are so happy to have crossed paths.
David
