Words cannot express how much I loved my experience with Custodi Catering. I am a June 2026 Bride, and Kristina and Chris went out of their way to make my wedding day special, meaningful, and stress free. They were kind, compassionate and detailed oriented for every planning meeting and call and communicated clearly about what to expect for my wedding day. I was told by almost every guest that our wedding food was by far the best wedding dinner they had ever had, as the food matched the amazing service. 10000000/10 would hire them again to cater any event I will have in the future. Thank you Kristina, Chris, and Custodi for the amazing Service.
From the moment I reached out to Custodi Catering about servicing my MIL's repast, they were responsive, professional, and so easy to communicate with. They guided me through the menu and helped me figure out exactly what would work best, which took a lot of stress off my shoulders during such a difficult time. On the day of the repast, their staff was incredible. They arrived on time, were kind and professional, and truly went above and beyond to help make everything run smoothly. During such a delicate and emotional time for our family, their compassion and willingness to help meant so much. I cannot recommend Custody Catering enough. They made a difficult day just a little easier, and I will absolutely be using them for any future events. Thank you for taking such great care of our family!
I just got married a few weekends ago and I sincerely could not recommend Custodi more highly. Chris and his team are absolutely FANTASTIC to work with. Right from the get go Chris was kind, organized, easy to talk to, and very transparent. For most people, their wedding is the first and only wedding they plan during their lives. Sorting through all the pricing and different options, especially for catering, can be confusing and frustrating...and it always seems like a random last minute fee pops up. Not so with Custodi. When I talked with Chris, it was a breath of fresh air. His team was extremely professional, well organized, and responded to all communications in less than 24 hours. They worked with us on a few last minute changes and were rockstars. Plus their staff is so fun! My (now) husband and I felt that we could completely and totally enjoy our wedding day knowing that Custodi had everything handled. Not to mention, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!! We had so many guests tell us that our food was amazing and the leftovers we had got eaten almost right away. I cannot recommend them enough for your next event. They are such a pleasure to work with and they deserve the highest praises!!!
I hired Custodi Catering to do my wedding and it was so amazing! We found them through our venue, they were recommended. I can easily say it might’ve been the best recommendation anyone has ever given. A. Custodi was extremely reasonably priced. B. Chris was such a fantastic person to work with. He is a great communicator and met with us to cover all the potential challenges so that we would be on the same page. He also went above and beyond by having the team help with setup and take down. He was also easy to get a hold of. C. His food was AMAZING! We had leftovers from the wedding and by the next day it was all gone. We couldn’t stop eating it. I am very skeptical when it comes to food vendors but I can easily say, Custodi is the best there is. I will be using him in the future and there is nobody I can recommend more highly.

We used Custodi Caterers for my bridal shower and everything was perfect. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly just really good, and everything looked beautiful too. The staff and bartender were so warm and attentive, which made the whole day feel easy and relaxed. It was actually a surprise planned by my mom and best friend, and they both said the planning process was smooth and really thoughtful, which meant a lot. Such a nice way to celebrate such a special moment, I would absolutely recommend them.
We recently used Custodi Caterers for a corporate lunch and had a really great experience. The menu had a nice variety, which made it easy to cover everyone, including a few vegetarians on our team. Everything tasted fresh and was honestly just really good. Kristina and Chris were super easy to work with. They helped us put together a seasonal menu that fit our budget and made the whole process feel simple. The portions were generous and everyone had more than enough, which is always appreciated with a group. From menu selection to scheduling and delivery, everything ran smoothly. We’ve used them for both smaller and larger groups and they’ve been able to accommodate both without any issues. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be using them again!
We used Custodi Caterers for our daughter’s wedding, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. From the very first conversation through the big day, they were absolutely incredible to work with—professional, responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in making everything perfect. The service and staff were outstanding. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and extremely well organized, which made the entire event feel seamless and stress-free for us and our guests. And the food—WOW. Truly exceptional. We received so many compliments from our guests, and for good reason. The Stuffed Rigatoni and Eggplant Rollatini were absolute standouts and are still being talked about. Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and served perfectly. Most importantly, thank you to the entire Custodi team for helping us feel calm and confident on such an important day for our family. Knowing everything was in such capable hands meant more to us than you can imagine. Custodi Caterers helped make our daughter’s wedding an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for amazing food, exceptional service, and a team you can fully trust for an important event, I highly recommend them.
