    Get a written quote the same day

    One planner prices it out line by line: food, staff, delivery and tax. Nothing hidden, nothing rounded up.

  3. 3

“My wife and I had Upper Crust for our wedding. They did an absolutely fantastic job! Extremely professional, great communication, fantastic food, great service, and they are very willing to do the little details if needed (flexible!). They made us feel less stressed, we could trust them, and we feel like we received great value for the price we paid. I would recommend this caterer to anyone!!”

“Upper Crust just catered my daughter's bridal shower. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Staff was very professional, answered all of my questions and arrived on time for set up. I would definitely recommend Upper Crust catering.”

“We had some catering done by Upper Crust for our son's high school graduation. We had used them previously for a wedding reception as well. The food is always excellent and there were so many people who said how good it was. I have always been impressed with this company. They are kind and courteous and will always answer all your questions. Great job!!!”

Is there a minimum order?
Buffet menus start at 20 guests. Trays and platters have no minimum, so they suit smaller groups. Not sure which fits? Tell us the headcount and we will point you to the better value.
