“J & D Catering catered our wedding on August 15, 2025 in Swisher, IA. People could not get over how tender the pot roast was and the Parmesan peppercorn chicken was to die for. We also had the Italian salad, garlic mashed potatoes, and seasoned California blend veggies which were all delicious. The team was all so friendly, professional, and efficient with everything! I could not have asked for a better experience! I would definitely recommend catering from them! A huge thank you to Diane and the rest of the J & D team.”

I try not to be too picky, but he's super chill. So helpful, super sweet even gave me some extra sauces and some extra wings”
