I can't say enough about Caterman. We hired them for my daughter's wedding Which was durin the peak of covid restrictions. Carmen was ery helpful and patient with us. The food was delicious from appetizers to buffet meal. The on-site staff were all professional, friendly and went beyond what I expected from set up to clean up. Thank you for making the day amazing

I worked with Camen for catering services for our wedding in San Jose. He was wonderful to work with and ensured that everything went smoothly on the day of. He was very detail oriented and gave us plenty of suggestions and tips of realistic expectations and was very helpful in the planning process. Would highly recommend!

Excellent service! We had the chance to do a tasting before the event and that gave us the confidence everything would be just perfect for our guests. Food and service was 5 stars and guests were very satisfied. We definitely recommend this company. Chicken Marsala was our favorite!

This guy is amazing. I would recommend them to them to anyone. It's tough to make great food for every meal and this caterer really does a great job for each meal. They served us breakfast, lunch, and dinner and each meal was amazing.

Carmen and Caterman catering, along with Chef and staff did my amazing wedding event! Carmen was exemplary, patient and kind in helping me with the menu, coordinating the rentals, showing up early for set up and tear down. They used my kitchen for prep and left it cleaner than before! All my guests raved about the food! I still had plenty of leftovers even after guests had 2nd and 3rd helping. I'd recommend the Wedding menu we had planned (see menus pic).

I loved the prime rib and carving station! If you're undecided about your catering, I'd highly recommend Caterman. It's excellent, convenient with the tent, table and chair rentals and affordable! Thank you Carmen with all our heart! and thank you Caterman! We will use you again for our many events to come!
