We've worked with Ron for two years and have been extremely pleased with not only his food and beverage offerings but also his willingness to go over and above to make sure our event is a smashing success. I found him by googling him and am so glad he was the first caterer who popped up. Guests raved about the food and courteous staff! More...

Ron has done a fantastic job in preparing and setting up appetizers and hors d'oeuvres for our annual Owners Meeting gathering. He prepares an excellent looking and delicious display and I leave it up to him on what he wishes to present. How he displays his food is a unique work of art, and so very tasty. I would recommend his highly! More...

Chef Ron was wonderful to work with. We even had to change the dates once! We had wonderful appetizers, homemade chips, followed by a great meal! The beef tenderloin melted in your mouth and chicken was so tender and delicious. The fresh parker house rolls were heavenly! The presentation was also very good. Chef Ron and his staff pay attention to small details like a bird made out of vegetables! So beautiful! Would definitely recommend! More...

I highly recommend Bernwood Catering Company. I am fairly new to Naples and this is the first time I have needed a caterer here, and Chef Ron came to my rescue.
I found him online and liked the reviews. I count myself extremely lucky that he was willing to fit me into his busy weekend. Chef Ron is delightful and very accommodating. He was always easily reached and very responsive to my needs. He had great suggestions regarding the menu, and honestly everyone who attended raved about the food and the presentation.
Thank you Chef Ron! The dinner party for 20 was a huge success!

Ron catered a small dinner party for my husband and I. We opted for having him drop off the dinner with no servers. Even though it was a very small, simple event, Ron took the time to prepare a thoughtful and delicious menu. The food was well prepared and beautifully presented. He arrived on time and made sure everything was ready. It was easy for me to do the final warming up. I highly recommend Bernwood Catering. More...
