Sample catered weddings

A Spooky and Sweet Celebration. Sarah and Matt's Custom Wedding Menu. When Sarah and Matt decided to put their spin on their wedding menu, we knew it would be a blast to create. Their theme was spooky, yet elegant. Their love for apps, dips, and snacks were highlighted throughout the course of the evening. From Grazing board, to dip stations - both hot and cold dips - with assorted dippers to the build your own cheesecake station, caramel apple nachos, and even build your own burger and wing stations. The couple is outgoing and fun, so the desire to let their energy shine through their food choices, was simple and the guests raved about the interactive stations. The mocktail station was one of my favorites to create as well highlighting the couples love for mocktails.

    When we asked Sarah & her staff to create the most amazing charcuterie table for our party, she understood the assignment! It was incredible! Our guests raved & are still talking about it. Hilldale's attention to detail is like no other local catering company. The presentation was on point. We will definitely use them again.

    Hilldale Deli was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day. From the very first interaction, their team was extremely professional and responsive, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, they took care of everything - from the setup to the serving and even the cleanup afterwards. The quality of their work was top-tier, and the food was absolutely delicious. It was worth every penny to have such an amazing catering team that allowed us to fully enjoy our celebration. Hilldale Deli provided the best customer service we could have asked for - they were a joy to work with and made our wedding day unforgettable.

    Hilldale Deli is a fantastic wedding caterer that I highly recommend. Their communication style is thorough, effective, and consistent, which makes working with them for weddings a breeze. The quality of their work and value is above par and so incredibly delicious. I've seen them go above and beyond, catering food to hospitals during wedding day emergencies, making food on the spot when guests overate or showed up unexpected, and they're always adding a personal touch to make each catering custom and unique to the couple. Hilldale is the perfect choice for anyone looking to add a unique and personal touch to their wedding day, from the hors d'oeuvres down to the dinner menu.
