Summer catering for property managers – What People are Saying…

“I started working with B & M around 2013 for our larger events such as our Annual BBQ and Holiday Parties. From the start, their customer service has been top notch…They are always glad to suggest additional options and will review your order a week or so before the event to assure that we are all on the same page. With B& M, setting up an event is a breeze, the food is always amazing and the serving portions they send are really generous. I recommend B & M Catering for any size venue and for any occasion. They are truly the best of the best in the catering world.”

-Christeen R., Property Manager

“I work with B & M 30-40 times a year to provide meals for our small staff meetings and larger events for our residents. B & M is always there for me when I need them. They provide menu recommendations based on my needs, are very reasonably priced and above all, are a pleasure to work with. Sometimes our meetings are put together with only a weeks’ notice, and the B & M staff always pulls through to accommodate my requests. I would highly recommend B & M Catering to any rental housing group looking for meals of any kind.”

-Emily C., Community Coordinator

“Whether catering tailgates before concerts and sporting events or providing meals to our clients during training seminars, B & M is always very dependable. We do lots of last-minute events, and when we call Brian and Mick it’s always nice to hear, no problem, we’ll be there. We know how busy they are, but they make it look easy. Naturally, the food is always good, but the behind-the-scenes dealings with confirmations and billing is always right on, as well.”
