We loved working with Joseph's! The reception was amazing and they made everything beautiful! Also, the price was the best by far!

The staff at Joseph's is terrific. They are patient, understanding and enjoyable. Our reception was held in the grove portion of their grounds and was just perfect! Our guests enjoyed volleyball, mini-golf, basketball as well as mingling, chatting and dancing in the pavillion area! They were accomodating to my menu requests and the food was spectacular and plentiful. There was truly not one single flaw in my entire reception and i'm very grateful to Joseph's professionalism and very, very pleasant staff for that!

I just love Josephs. Over the years I have attended several weddings here and also my 2 proms. They are great to work with. The hall is beautiful and has many great places to get pictures. The best part, their food! It's delicious to say the least!

We had our wedding at Connecticut Street Armory and had Joseph’s do the catering. After meeting with a few caterers, we were instantly impressed with Joseph’s because of their great value, their friendliness, and their flexibility to offer what we wanted. The venue did not provide tables/chairs/linens, so Joseph’s handled the rentals and setting it all up. That was a huge relief and helped substantially. Considering there was no refrigeration or kitchen on site, I was nervous about the food quality. But, there was no reason to worry – everything was delicious and we received lots of compliments. I would highly recommend Joseph’s for offsite catering and think they are amazing!

Great all around! We got married in the gazebo and had an all-day reception in the covered patio area. The staff was amazing, helpful, & organized. The grounds with volleyball, mini-golf, horseshoes & more were so much fun. The food was great & all of our guests said they loved our wedding!

Joseph's Catering catered my wedding in my backyard on Sept. 4. They set themselves up, served a wonderful, hot dinner and left behind no trace of being there! (except for the full bellies and compliments from my guests) They responded to all my questions and concerns immediately. Starting with Rich Joseph for the planning, David Joseph at my home working, Tom prepping the food, the wait staff and set up crew, I highly recommend Joseph's Catering. Everyone was so nice!

The food was amazing! I keep hearing after the wedding how much our guests loved the food. Josephs make you feel so special during your wedding. We choose a buffet style and they actually come up to the buffet with the bride and groom and make their plates for them. It was such a nice touch and I didnt have to worry about falling with my food in my dress!

I used Joseph's catering service for my off-site wedding reception in June 2010.
I was very pleased with Richard's responsiveness and helpfulness during the planning and pre-wedding process. They had a lot of options to choose from-and were helpful in terms of streamlining our selection process (for example: including our table/tent rentals with the food bill through a partner vendor). They were knowledgable about everything I asked. Rich always made himself available to answer any questions, which gave me a real peace of mind.
Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding, we ran into some pretty serious hiccups: First, the staff didn't arrive nearly early enough to give themselves time to get set up. Fortunately, my brother-in-law (who works in catering) rounded up the troops (my bridal party) and was able to get things like my cake table, gift table, placeholder table, up and running. Second, the staff arrived with NO wine or champagne. Both items were included in my contract, confirmed just the day prior, AND paid for in full. They ended up using my grandmother's private wine supply (which they reimbursed her a very small sum for). They purchased champagne at a local shop at the last minute...not giving them enough time to serve it into my guest's champagne flutes for the toast but rather just plopping it in the center of each table. Fortunately, my family and friends sorted these things out and I wasn't even aware of them until I returned from my honeymoon and they told me.
Other than those significant issues, the food was great!! Probably the best buffet meal I've ever had-beautiful presentation and so yummy. The catering staff were very friendly and attentive, as well.
In sum, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this catering service for an off-site wedding reception...I get the impression that they're much better at doing things on their premise and these issues I dealt with wouldn't have occured had we used their venue.
