Appleton Catering catered my son’s engagement party and they did an amazing job. The party was for 30 people and we chose the Italian menu. The food was prepared on time and delicious. All of the food was prepared as specified and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff at Appleton is professional and courteous. I will hire Appleton again for our next party.
