The Fruited Plain, Morristown, NJ
Drew & his staff catered my daughter in laws bridal shower and I can't say enough about our wonderful experience. The food was both delicious & presented beautifully, Drew fulfilled every wish with passed appetizers, some favorites were chicken & waffles, london broil crostini's and tempura shrimp to name a few, than displayed Covid friendly appetizers which were amazing, individual veggie cups & skewers tomato, mozzarella, basil. Also provided us with hot chaffing dishes of penne vodka, delicious salmon and chicken francais. Every dish was equally great, everyone raved for weeks about the food & wonderful service from the staff he brought. This is the second big party they have catered for us and we will be using them again! Highly recommend for any occasion, awesome to work with!! -

Drew and his team are AMAZING!! My husband and I hired Drew to cater our backyard wedding over MDW 2021. We had about 130 guests and to this day family and friends rave about how much they enjoyed the food at our wedding, everything from passed hors d’oeuvres to entrees and desserts were out of this world! My dad even asked for a second entree he loved his dinner so much…Father of the Bride approved!! To top it off Drew is so incredibly kind and easy to work with, easily one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. It was a dream day and we truly had a dream team. -

A Great Company That Did a Great Job!
The Fruited Plain Caterers catered our wedding in October of 2021. Drew and his team did a spectacular job! Their food was delicious (more than a dozen of our guests have gone out of their way to tell us since the event) and the reception flowed very smoothly.
In addition to preparing the food, his team helped us order rental chairs, linens, etc, staffed the bar, and set up/took down almost everything in the hall.
Drew is very knowledgable and was a great resource as we planned our wedding. He helped us deal with some dietary restrictions as we started planning, and then helped to make the 1-year postponement of our wedding that COVID caused relatively easy. When the time came to get to planning again, he worked with us when we completely changed the format and size of the event (due to COVID).
He even coordinated the pickup of all of the rental chairs, linens, etc. while we were on our honeymoon so that we did not need to worry about it.
In short, I cannot recommend them highly enough! -

Worry-free Wedding reception
What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING!!! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!
The Fruited Plain Caterers's reply:

Working with Drew and the Fruited Plain was the best decision of my entire wedding day!!! They were super professional, SUPER delicious, and thorough from start to finish. They even accommodated several tastings for my very particular wife (ha!). Every guest at the wedding RAVED about the food which I feel is hard to come by. Thank you TFP for the best wedding food & coordination ever!!! The staff, the food, the process was nothing short of perfection.The Fruited Plain Caterers's reply:
Thank you so much for posting those pictures! Whitney H. has a new place in my heart. Thank you for choosing us as your caterer. It was truly a day to remember. -

Erin W. Sent on 06/18/2019The most unique wedding menu ever at a great price!
The Fruited Plain team is everything you could hope for in a caterer.
UNIQUE MENU: They crafted the most scrumptious and distinctive menu I have ever seen for a wedding. So much time and effort was put into the menu that truly stood out against all other weddings.
DELICIOUS FOOD: I can't say enough about how tasty the food was. Fruited Plain uses high quality ingredients which makes the food so incredible! They are masters at their craft. Our guests are still raving about the food a month later. Several people have already booked Fruited Plain for other engagements!
IMPECCABLE SERVICE: Drew was a logistics wizard and planned everything with such ease. He handled all our rentals for our wedding at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum which took so much stress off our plate. The staff Drew brought on site were the most friendly, helpful and fun people to work with. Our guests loved them and we felt so taken care of! Drew was very responsive, knowledgeable, professional and so much fun to work with. He really became a friend through the process.
I highly recommend Fruited Plain to cater your wedding or next event - you won't be disappointed. They are very reasonably priced, professional and make the most mouth watering food! Book them now! -

Drew was amazing. I don't know how else to put it! We met with a bunch of different caterers and everything with The Fruited Plain felt different from the start. We enjoyed every aspect of the process and Drew was so helpful along the way. Nothing ever seemed to overwhelm him, and he was so great at helping to calm us down when we were feeling stressed. He is a true professional and master of his craft.
He also worked with the rental company to supply EVERYTHING we needed for our venue. I can't tell you what it was like to have that support!
On the day of the wedding, I remember seeing Drew after our first look, and it was genuinely like seeing a friend at our wedding. We were just happy to see him and glad he was there. The entire team was helpful, friendly and professional.
Now...the important part....the food. Ohhhhh yeah. So good. The cocktail hour was amazing. Drew and his team concoct such delicious, and unique, food options that we had a hard time selecting!!! We went with a buffet option for our dinner and, again, the food was amazing and Drew's team kept everything running smoothly.
We got married a month ago, and we still get compliments about the food at our wedding. We have recommended him to everyone we know and already have people looking to book him. If you are reading this, and wondering if The Fruited Plain is right for you, the answer is yes. You won't regret it. -
User2855227 Sent on 11/07/2016Drew and his staff were exceptional!! We used the Fruited Plain for our wedding at the Glen Ridge Women's Club. The guests were very impressed with the hors d'oeuvres service and cocktail hour! They loved the options in the buffet dinner and everything was delicious! Drew was so helpful for setting up and carrying out a beautiful reception! His staff made sure everyone was taken care of and we appreciated his flexibility to accommodate vegan guests. We look forward to using the fruited plain for future events!
