I was at the wedding this past weekend, and it was absolutely beautiful! Everything ran incredibly smoothly, the decor was sophisticated and exactly what the bride had envisioned. Not only was it beautiful to look at, the food to exquisite! Delicious, flavorful, and an apparent result of hard work. The workers went above and beyond to help guests. Would recommend! read more

Sunrise Specialty Catering - Gorgeous place settings - Caterers Near Me

Impeccable service and flawless catering services. Gorgeous displays and spreads of food.

Sunrise Catering and Janet were spectacular. From the moment we hired them to cater our Anniversary party, Janet took over all of the stress points and event planning. We can't thank her enough. The bartender was incredibly capable and amiable, the staff were very friendly, the food was delicious, and everything came together in such a way that we actually got to enjoy the party rather than run around being stressed and making sure that everything worked out. We highly recommend Sunrise Catering and Janet (and her husband who was the chef) for any events that you want to throw while actually having a good time without the stress of planning. Thank you Janet and Sunrise Catering for a memorable and special party! read more

We hired Janet for our rehearsal dinner and wedding in Cooperstown, NY. Our guests at the rehearsal dinner absolutely loved the food and the variety and attention to detail she provides appeals to almost anyone. My dad is such a picky eater and found things he loved from her rehearsal dinner buffet. Multiple rehearsal dinner guests told me they were excited for what Janet was going to serve at the wedding when they learned she was catering both events. Our appetizers at our wedding were fantastic and the staff made sure I always had something to eat and drink. We received so many compliments from our guests about both the cocktail hour apps and the plated meal. Janet's staff are friendly and even our photographer complimented how polite and accommodating her staff was to her team. We would absolutely hire her again if we were throwing another event in the area. read more

We hired Janet for our rehearsal dinner on May 26, 2023 in Roxbury NY. Janet got back to me quickly after my inquiry which was great because others hadn't been so quick at getting back to me and she helped me develop a menu. Janet and her team were so professional and they just couldn't have done more to make everyone feel comfortable, especially me! The food was amazing, we did a Greek themed dinner and the appetizers and dinner were just perfect. Janet made sure my husband and I ate, and also made sure the bride ate, she was attentive to every detail. I couldn't have asked for anything more, her kindness was amazing, it never mattered how much I e-mailed her always gave me the time I needed. The guests, raved about the food and the professionalism of her staff. I would use her and her team for all of my events. read more

Janet and crew were terrific to work with! We recently had our wedding in Delhi, NY, and Janet and her team provided the beverage service for 170 people. From the onset, Janet was delightful to do business with. Having worked with 15+ partners/vendors for wedding, Janet was at the top of the list in terms of her professionalism. The quotes we received were timely, detailed, and accurate... everything you could hope for. The service itself was very reasonable, and the groups offering is vast. As for the actual event, her team was early and quick to setup. Our guests commented on professional and friendly they all were, especially Katie. If you have the chance to work with Janet and team, DO IT! read more

I cannot recommend Sunrise Specialty Catering and Event Planning enough! Janet went above and beyond to make my wedding day so special. We used Sunrise for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day at Gilbertsville Farmhouse. With Sunrise, you don't just get fantastic food, you get so many extra thoughtful and decorative touches to make everything perfect. Throughout the planning process, Janet was very responsive and answered all my questions. She made a detailed proposal with associated costs of food and labor. My parents were paying for the wedding dinner and my in-laws for the rehearsal dinner, so she was able to make to separate proposals to deal with each event separately. I was able to use my own collection of vintage plates for the rehearsal dinner and dessert table and Janet arranged all other rentals including a tent, linens, dishware, silverware, and barware. When the week of the wedding arrived, I drove up early to start setting things up and Janet had a huge team of people! They helped unload my packed car to set up everything in the right places for me. I certainly would have been there many hours longer without their help! Janet even sat down and helped iron out some wedding day issues with me that were completely unrelated to her catering services. I was very stressed that day and she helped calm my nerves which I appreciated so very much at that time! When wedding weekend arrived, the proposal came to life and the food was so perfect. I was floored by how beautiful the rehearsal dinner was set up with all the extra decorative touches to make things beautiful. The Italian appetizers and dinner were delicious, and service was very professional. On wedding day, we had a pre-cocktail hour drinks, refreshments, and charcuterie table which was lavish on its own. The cocktail hour had tables and hand passed hors d'oeuvres that we had picked out. We had some classic items and also some fun, unique additions like grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters and delicious vegan noodles in to-go boxes. So fun for cocktail hour! Dinner was served, with a salad course and main course of steak, salmon, or vegetarian lasagna. Janet was also able to provide gluten-free and vegan options and cater to any allergies of my guests. The reception was set up perfectly the way I set up in my table layout. There was also a gigantic dessert table set up with everything you could want - cupcakes, mini pies, donuts, and tarts. Something for everyone and also a small cake for the official cutting. The entire table was decorated beautifully. Outside on the patio by the bonfire, Janet set up a extravagant smores bar with individually wrapped chocolates. And finally, for the late night after party we had delicious pizzas for anyone that still had room for more. Everyone loved the food and I got so many compliments during and after the wedding. Needless to say, no one left my wedding hungry. For your wedding day food you can't go wrong with Sunrise, and I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Our party was such a lovely time, in huge part to the food and the catering handled by Janet of Sunrise Catering and her crew. This was a special celebration in honor of my mother, with 75 guests attending. Janet was so professional and sensitive in all of my needs, reassuring me not to worry; she will take care it. And she did. The food was wonderful: tarragon chicken salad with walnuts & dried cranberries; vegetable lasagna; Swedish meatballs! - just to name a few, all fantastic. The fancy fruit salad and unique mixed green salad were both SO fresh! The setup crew was prompt and swift, we hardly saw them come and go. Nothing was forgotten; everything was there. I live in VA, so Janet and I coordinated the menu and the planning in its entirety through emails and phone calls, with such ease. She was always available to answer my questions, and was always one step ahead of me. My family and I were so pleased with Janet's help to us in the success of a wonderful and memorable day. I can't say enough about the detail and organization they provided, and the savory dishes we had with our guests. What's a party without good food? You'll want to use them as your caterer. You'll be glad you did! read more

We hired Sunrise Specialty Catering for a surprise party for 50-60 people in Delhi NY. I'm not from the area and did not have any recommendations to go by, so we were really taking a chance on going in blind. Janet was super responsive to emails/calls and various changes to the menu. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her staff was professional and had everything set up on time. They returned at the end of the party to clean up as well. The set up was beautiful with black linens and little decorations for the table (I didn't even realize that was included!) The food included buffet style sandwiches, fresh fruit salad and regular salad. Everything was delicious and fresh tasting. She even was kind enough to bring a few cookies for dessert and some other surprises even though they were not on the menu. We did provide our own dessert, drinks and paper goods. I would hire Janet and her staff again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much! read more

Janet and the team at Sunrise Specialty Catering made my dream wedding come true! Wedding planning is so insanely stressful...so please do yourself a favor and hire Sunrise Specialty Catering so you have one less thing to worry about. It will honestly make a huge difference in the months leading up to your big day and on your big day! There are no words to express how accessible, reliable, professional, caring, detailed oriented and overall amazing they are! First, let me start with how personable and involved Janet was with our wedding throughout the entire year and a half process. As soon as we booked them, I never felt uncomfortable e-mailing or calling her about anything! She was always so eager to respond and alleviate any concerns I had. Secondly, I'm a big foodie, so when it comes to "wedding food" and catered dishes I usually expect mediocre results, but their menu is absolutely fabulous and diverse! Janet's husband is the chief, and you can tell he cooks with care and detail as if he were preparing a meal for an intimate dinner party. Their food doesn't taste or look like a mass production. I wanted rustic/New American and they delivered! When I took a bite of my BBQ chicken and mac and cheese on our wedding day I was so shocked at how good it was and that I would actually eat it outside of a wedding or catering scenario! And the h'orderves were just as good, if not better! I could also go on and on about how gorgeous everything was displayed! It was a true replica of my ambitious Pinterst page! My guests are still raving about how good the food and service was at my wedding. I've been to several sit-down dinners at weddings and they weren't nearly as elegant and organized as my "buffet" style was. Each server was well dressed in a classy black tie uniform and took great care of each of our guests. Nobody needed anything! You have to also know that when you hire Sunrise Catering, you're not just getting a food and beverage service, you are getting a group of invested wedding experts that will truly go above and beyond to make your day run perfectly. They genuinely care about you and making you happy! It's not just a business for them. What's most special, is that whey were so determined to realize all my visions. I had a very strong idea of what I wanted from the decorations to the cocktail hour, down to the favors and dessert table, and they made it their mission to execute it all. Despite feeling anxious and incredibly overwhelmed about having the perfect day, I always felt like I was in great hands with Janet and her team. I remember always feeling better when I got off the phone with her! I was especially impressed after we had our run through the days before our wedding. My wedding day was perfect and everything I wanted it to be, and I owe a lot of that to Sunrise Catering. They were truly a major part of my dream team vendors. I consider myself a tough critic and as a news producer by trade, I am naturally very organized and detail driven, so I wouldn't just give 5 stars to anybody. Sunrise Catering earned it! They are worth every penny of their reasonable fee and will do more for you than most other caterers. It's a no brainer! If you're having a wedding anywhere near the Oneonta/NY Berlin/Gilbertsville/Norwich or upstate region, you have to go with Sunrise, because they will take on your wedding as if it was one of them getting married! I highly doubt you'll get that personal touch anywhere else! read more
