The absolute greatest food!

My husband and I value delicious food, and we knew we wanted this to be highlighted at our wedding. Heritage did not disappoint!! We had so many of our guests share with us that this was by far the best food they had ever had at a wedding, and we absolutely agree!

We had selected the braised pork shoulder, confit fjord trout, and mushroom and spinach gnocchi. All of the selections were heavenly!! The pork melted in your mouth, the trout was cooked to perfection and the gnocchi was dynamic and delicious! Heritage is on the higher end of cost in the Madison area catering, but I cannot emphasize enough that it was worth absolutely every penny. We were elated - and so were our guests.

Leading up to our wedding, Betsy did a great job coordinating with us and communicating directly with Chef Dan Fox to ensure that we knew exactly what to expect given what was in season and sourced locally. The team was also very well staffed the day of our wedding and served a plated dinner to ~150 guests in a professional, efficient and effective manner.

The display boards during happy hour were exquisite! We were so pleased with our experience with Heritage and would recommend them to any couple that values divine food.

Food Done Right

My husband and I had Heritage Catering for our wedding, and we could not have been more thrilled. Their food was so good that you could audibly hear our guests excitement when the food was brought out. We chose to go with a family style meal where everyone could take more or less of each dish depending on what they liked. This worked out perfectly! Heritage’s food is such a wonderful balance of fresh and simple ingredients paired together in a way that makes it taste like a guilty pleasure. All of our guests raved about it, but honestly, we weren’t surprised. One meal at Heritage Tavern and we knew no matter what we got from them it would be fantastic. We can not recommend them highly enough for anyone from a picky vegetable hater to a refined professional food critic, the team at Heritage will get you to eat all manner of healthy and fresh foods and you will love it!

Quality local ingredients

Heritage was recommended to us for our wedding. We got 4 quotes for catering companies in Madison. 3 were around $77 per guest and Heritage was $116 per guest. The cost was over what we had allocated for catering as we had a lot of guests. You will find when you are wedding planning that Catering and your Venue are your biggest costs. We hired Heritage for our Rehearsal Dinner instead. Amanda, from Heritage, was really nice and worked with us on a menu that matched out budget for our Rehearsal Dinner. Dinner was Ham/ turkey sandwiches, cheese platter, pickled veggies, and berry tarts. Cost was $45 per guest. The sandwiches were very good and Heritage made sure we had almost 2 per guest and all the guests told us they loved the sandwiches. The food was good quality and was local ingredients.

Communication was a challenge when working with this vendor. Our event was in July. In April I emailed regarding an update in guest count and to double check if some materials were being supplied. I did not receive a response, even after several followup emails. I finally got ahold of them by May via call. They confirmed they had the email but did not give me any answers. 3 weeks before our rehearsal dinner I call again to get answers to my 2 simple questions. I’m told I am calling too early and that due to being busy and the low order size that they are not prioritizing my event until the week of. I was not able to get answers until 1 week before the event. When planning a wedding, many details need to be locked in at least several weeks before the event. Each wedding has many vendors that need to be managed. To leave someone without resolution until such short notice is a risk, in case there are logistics which fall through, adequate notice needs to be given in order to plan for contingencies.
