    • Drew and the staff of The Fruited Plain made our wedding so amazing and unique. In a world of pasta and chicken buffet events, The Fruited Plain makes incredibly delicious and diverse cuisine that leaves you having dreams about food. My husband and I had an incredible repertoire of hors d’oeuvres, a delicious and exotic Hawaiian buffet, and a dessert bar complete with hot chocolate whiskey shots that Drew (the owner/chef) concocted himself especially for us, and our guests are still raving about it all! My only regret of the evening was wearing a tight wedding dress which deeply restricted the amount of pork buns I could eat during cocktail hour! The Fruited Plain is extremely accommodating, flexible, responsive, and creative. Drew’s passion for his work really shone through in the form of how amazing and customized our event was. I recommend The Fruited Plain to anyone in need of event catering, and please invite me so that I may eat the food. THANKS DREW!! –Lauren & Bobby

    • We couldn’t recommend Fruited Plain Caterers more. No detail was overlooked. The service was outstanding and our family and friends still reave about the food! Our expectations were exceeded. I should also mention the pre-contract tasting was a delight. We had decided on this vendor before the last bite. –Susan

    • Drew and his team were wonderful! They are professionals who know what they are doing so we never had to be nervous that something was not going to happen or not going to happen well. He is organized and knowledgable, which made the process from beginning to end really easy and smooth. He is also a really nice guy and very responsive! In addition to the service being great, the food was also fantastic! We had really great feedback from all of our guests and what we were able to eat during the event was delicious. He has a really nice mix of options and everything was yummy and presented beautifully. His staff was also really lovely and very sociable–by the end of the night our friends and family knew the bartenders’ names and they were the life of the party! Thank you Fruited Plain for making our wedding so wonderful and scrumptious 🙂–Marissa

    • On behalf of the staff at ICCLowe Pace, I want to thank you for providing the wonderful luncheon on Tuesday, December 17th. You were right on time for delivery despite the terrible weather and we were not disappointed. Everyone raved about the quality of your food. The sandwiches were extremely tasty and offered a wide variety of fillings. The tomato and cucumber salad was excellent and many people mentioned that the German potato salad was just like their mother made. It’s a tribute to your quality catering that we had no leftovers! Everyone finished everything we had ordered. You made our party special. –Regards,Roberta

    • My husband and I met with a lot of caterers in planning our wedding. We were looking for a very specific feel for our wedding…and the food. Drew got our vision immediately. He came to our house to do a tasting and provided us options SPECIFIC to our requests (he was the only one to really “get” us). We planned a beautiful menu. … One day (23 hours) before the wedding disaster struck. Our venue (an outside venue) became unusable because it was flooded out. Drew saved the day. He offered us an alternative venue (nice, understated and tasteful). He then helped us reorient our whole event – working with the rental company and other vendors. Without Drew and The Fruited Plain we would have had no place for our special day. –“Madams”, via WeddingWire.com
