Our recent event using Jay's Catering was a wonderful experience. Lauren MacLeod was very helpful creating the menu for our post wedding buffet. Her expertise in choosing from the many delicious selections and guiding the best amounts put me at ease so I could relax and enjoy the day. I really appreciated her patience as it was an especially busy time. Delivery was timely and the trays beautifully presented. Our choices were appreciated by all of our guests. I highly recommend Jay's and look forward to using them again.

My husband and I are so happy that we decided to hire Jay's Catering for our wedding! Our event specialist, Brianna Long, was incredible the entire wedding planning process. I had so many questions from beginning to the end of our engagement and Brianna took the time to answer everything thoroughly and patiently. She was very helpful and friendly both via email and in person. And we are so happy with all the food and desserts at our wedding. All our guests complimented on how amazing everything tasted!! It was one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding and we would definitely

We had our wedding at the Estate on Second on Halloween of this year, all anybody could talk about was the food! Our event specialist was Brianna, she was literally heaven sent. I have a lot of anxiety and she was so kind, patient and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. Any time I had a question I got a quick email response, and if it was something larger than that I could get on a call almost immediately. The food and service throughout the wedding was outstanding. We ordered food for 50 people but ended up having only about 40 people, so we took our leftovers with us. Everything saved

I've worked with Jay's Catering before for weddings I've been involved with, so I thought I knew what to expect when I reached out to them for my daughter's first birthday. I have to admit that I was completely blown away by the service! Lauren really helped me put together a phenomenal menu as was so responsive and truly went above and beyond (even with my last minute requests). Even the service team that set up the event were so pleasant to communicate with and talked us through the entire process. The best part was that EVERY SINGLE one of our guests came up to us to compliment

We held out wedding at The Estate on Second with Casey as our Event Manager. I am so happy that we chose a venue managed and catered by Jay's. They were always professional and maintained clear lines of communication during the height of COVID. I also appreciate how conscientious Jay's was about ensuring the safety of us and our guests. We had originally planned to hold our wedding at The Estate on Second on January 23, 2021 however given our need to prioritize safety Jay's provided us flexibility with rescheduling out event to August 2021.

Jays Catering went above and beyond for our wedding day. It was the most perfect day! Lauren Macleod was absolutely wonderful during the whole process. She made sure everything was exactly how we planned. She was extremely pleasant to work with. She made planning the food and other rentals a breeze, so I felt a huge burden off my shoulders during the planning process. I felt very confident when the big day came around that I would have nothing to worry about. I was absolutely right! The food was delicious, the tables and chairs were perfect, and the service from all staff was outstanding! I&apos

We had our wedding on 10-16-21 and Jay's did a PHENOMENAL job. From the decor offerings to the impeccable food (our guests are still raving over the brisket off the all-american menu), I cannot recommend jay's enough.
A big shoutout to Brianna who helped us navigate postponing a wedding and making sure every single detail was spot on. She is a true champ and asset to Jays

Jay's was the caterer for our wedding in September of this year, and I cannot even begin to tell you how many of our guests raved about the food! We went with the Italian buffet option!
Everything from the food to the attentiveness of our event specialist, Brittany, left us so wildly impressed! Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, Jay's did a superb job of making our wedding feel like a priority, and consistently checking in with us!
I would highly recommend Jay's, and I think our guests would overwhelmingly recommend the pesto tortellini and artichokes!

We recently had our 38th Gala at the Natural History Museum, and Jay's Catering is one of their preferred vendors. And we are so glad that we chose them. The whole planning process was difficult because of COVID, but Jay's Catering helped to make the process easy. The communication was wonderful, they were flexible, and definitely went out of their way to make our event a great time for all of our guests. All of the guests enjoyed the food and drinks. I would definitely work with them again.

Casey was my point of contact and she was so responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. I can't thank her enough and all of Jay's catering staff for making my wedding dream into a reality. All of my guest were raving about how delicious the food was and most especially the brisket! We opted out for the buffet and there was no food left since everyone kept coming back for seconds. The bartenders on the night of were so much fun serving the best drinks, talking stories with our guest and they really made our party even more of an experience. I am so thankful I had my wedding

We are so glad we hosted our wedding with Jay's at the Rose Center in July. We had originally planned for May 2020 but had to postpone twice due to covid. Jay's was very understanding and flexible through it all, honoring our 2020 food costs and allowing postponement without a fee since it was about a year from the original date. Even if we had decided to push it out further Jay's postponement fee was very reasonable. We've heard terrible stories from other couples with their venues or caterers not allowing them to postpone without forfeiting everything or paying insane fees

Our original venue canceled on us about a month before our wedding date and we were scrambling to find a new venue that was open especially during covid.
I emailed Forme LA and got a quick response from Rachel of Jays Catering. She informed me that forme was not available but Hangar 21 was. I was able to tour the venue and immediately fell in love with it. It was open and spacious.
Rachel was amazing to work with. She was always quick to respond to emails and any questions that I had. She made the whole process so seamless. The food from jays was great! We chose the dual plate of filet mignon

Jay’s is a personal favorite for family and for my husband. Long before I met my husband, my parents used Jay’s Catering for all events. From sports banquets to the silent auctions, Jays was always our top choice. When we got engaged and found our Venue, we explored multiple caterers. We even went to a few tasting events. When we were invited to the Taste of Jay's event we were blown away. Every item was better than the next. The choice to hire Jay’s was obvious. They had a huge variety of food selections. The fan favorite hors’ devours was the beef wellington and everyone loved Jay’s

I had a perfect wedding with Jay's Catering.
Sierra helped us out to have a perfect day. She wrote a letter with a small snack package for us, just in case we couldn't eat the food at the wedding. Very thoughtful person and well communicator.
With this Covid-19 situation, Jay's catering knows how to prepare properly for everyone's safety. First of all, all the foods were so worth every single penny.
The sweet treat tray came with Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs, Dark Chocolate Ganache Brownies, and Butterscotch Blondies & Oreo Cheesecake squares. They all

We have used them several times. They are a well run company. We have several friends in our area that used them also.
They are so generous. They contribute free of charge to Grandparent Autistic Network. They provide all of the food free of charge for special needs and college helpers for the special events. You will not be sorry if you contract with them.

Jay's Catering was a great match for our wedding! I was worried about booking my wedding at the Estate on Second because I only had one choice in vendor, but it turns out that the vendor was perfect! Jay's was professional, served high quality food, and were VERY accommodating to my guests. All of our guests commented on the food positively, especially the tacos and small dessert options!

My husband and I were blown away by the quality of food we had for our wedding. We had SO many guests tell us after about how much they loved it and many said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We enjoyed the Taste of Jay's event we were able to attend to try the variety of food Jay's offers. Food is a big deal to my husband, so he wanted a good meal for our first meal together as husband and wife. Jay's surpassed our expectations and the service was amazing as well! Everyone was professional and friendly, making our day that much better. Thank you again, Jay's Catering!
