All I can say is WOW. This catering company–Chip and his team–are nothing short of fabulous. Food and service were well beyond our expectations. Worth the drive to Thurmont–they are so professional and clearly have expertise in this business. As a hospitality professional, this catering company just blows any hotel catering I’ve experienced out of the water!
