Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a catering partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

I cannot express just how much I recommend Susanna and her team. They catered our August 2024 wedding and were absolutely amazing, crafting a beautiful menu that featured everything that we hoped for and more - vegetarian-focused, Chinese-inspired, wholesome & nourishing food. It was important to us to have certain cultural items on our menu to honor both of our families and Susanna delivered on this beautifully, including a Dim Sum station at cocktail hour that our guests adored. The food was delicious and the team was an absolute joy to work with. They rolled with the punches that came with hosting a wedding in a rural, private property location and were so kind and good-natured. Thank you...

The Best Chef & Staff EVER!! For the past five years we have rented vacation homes & arranged for a private chef. Susanna's catering was by far THE BEST EVER. The food had exquisite taste, looked out of Gourmet cookbooks. The staff knew exactly how to prepare, present the food & the tables. Plus, they were among the nicest of any staff.

Susanna's Catering made planning a destination wedding a breeze. Susanna herself went above and beyond during the planning process and it showed the day of. The spread was gorgeous and delicious. The guest were all raving about the food. The servers were all very kind and attentive. I cannot thank Susanna and her staff enough for their professionalism, their safety precautions, and all their hard work in making this wedding (during unprecedent times) a huge success!

We used Susanna’s catering service for our 20+ family reunion gathering. The food was so good and beautifully presented and all her staff were so nice to work with

Susanna catered our wedding and was absolutely incredible. She is super organized, her staff are really lovely and well-trained, and the food is just fabulous. This is definitely not your ordinary wedding food! She brings things to the next level and has all kinds of creative things to choose from a variety of cuisines. She is also able to adapt to any dietary considerations. We are already trying to figure out another excuse to hire her down the line...

How far is this from home?
Pick the city you and most of your guests will be driving from and we will estimate the trip.
An estimate for planning, not live traffic. Leafy weekends in October always take longer.
