You've planned every detail. The food shouldn't keep you up at night.

A wedding or a quinceañera happens once. Your family and friends will all be there, and the food is what everyone remembers. But finding a caterer you can trust with every guest is hard.

Will it taste like home?

Your family knows what good food tastes like, and so do your guests.

Will it be ready on time?

Cold trays and long lines are what people remember about the wrong caterer.

Will you end up working instead of celebrating?

You deserve to enjoy this day with the people you love, not spend it worrying about the kitchen.

JW Cater is a family business. JW stands for William and Johana Godoy, and our story started in the kitchen of a mother who spent years as a chef in hotels. Since then we've spent more than three decades serving in hotels, restaurants and country clubs, and catering weddings and quinceañeras in Chicago and Atlanta. We bring that standard to your celebration, with the warmth of family.

We bring the moments. We serve the memories.

Picture the moment.

Your guests go back for seconds. Grandma asks who made the food. Your daughter dances, and you're right there with her, not in the kitchen. That's the celebration you'll remember.

Don't let cold food, long lines or a stressed host become the story people tell. Choose a team that has done this for more than 30 years.
