I’ve used Dragonfly Catering twice, once for my uncle’s memorial and once for my mom’s birthday party. Matt worked with me on both menus to make sure even our picky eaters had something they would love. Whether they’re serving it for you or you’re picking it up, they make everything seamless. And the food is so, so good! My one relative and I jokingly fought over the short rib leftovers! 😆 I would hire them again in a heartbeat and would not hesitate to recommend them to others, whatever the event or the budget!
