Bernwood Catering Co. really went above and beyond to help me put on a great volunteer event! I am in no way an event planner so calling up Chef Ron and having him help guide me through catering options and recommendations based on his experience was extremely helpful. Chef Ron was communicative and really listened to my ideas in order to make the event in my head a reality. Chef Ron helped me with other catering details such as linens and rentals and showed up the day of the event with everything as promised. The entire staff was friendly and professional and set up the room in a very beautiful manner. They prepared a variety of foods and everyone raved about how good the flavors were. They were in and out of the venue on time and ran a very efficient ship. Overall, I would give them a 10/10 and an extra thank you for all of the support! More...

Bernwood catering did a fantastic job with my grandmother‘s celebration of life! It was super easy to get in touch with Ron and design our meal plan and make changes. The food was great and we had a lot of compliments from our guests. He even was able to make food that was prepackaged and were able to take it home to heat up for guests coming over after the service. The leftovers have been fantastic. I would highly suggest Bernwood catering for your next events! More...

Fantastic dinner and wonderful staff! Ron thought of everything to make the 80th birthday party for my husband and me perfect. Only problem was that there were few leftovers for us to enjoy the day after, a true compliment for the chef! More...
April Sigg
I wish there was 10+stars instead of only 5 because that’s what they deserve!
Chef Ron got back to me within the hour when I first put into the request at only one week prior to our event & he worked it out even though he was incredibly slammed with business.
We had such a beautiful array of food at our big company event At my home.
I can’t explain how amazing Chef Ron is and his entire team also Chef, JR and his assistant set everything up so beautifully as our food display…
I look forward to my next big event just so I can hire them again. Everything was tasty. Fabulous and very elegant.
Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart from making my event happen even when you didn’t have time to help me you did thank you so much. Keep up the Amazing work and super customer service, which is huge! .👍❤️

Working with Chef Ron was very easy. There were a few things I didn’t even think of for my luncheon/celebration of life that Ron brought to my attention which really made the event! His attention to detail was exactly what we needed. The servers and bartender were extremely professional and friendly. The food was exceptional and the presentation was outstanding. Bernwood offered a variety of food that catered to everyone. I highly recommend Chef Ron! More...

Cita
I couldn’t be happier with the food catered by Ron Catering for Christmas! Every dish was an absolute hit with my guests. The penne vodka was perfectly creamy and flavorful, the chicken francese was tender and had just the right balance of lemony richness, and the beef tenderloin was cooked to perfection—juicy and full of flavor
. Even the vegetarians in the group raved about the eggplant parmigiana, which was deliciously layered and hearty.
Thank you, Ron Catering, for making our holiday meal so special. Your attention to quality and taste truly stood out, and we can’t wait to order from you again! Highly recommended.

David
We hired Chef Ron & the team to cater for our guests to my wife’s birthday party. It was a great experience and really appreciated by our guests. The food was excellent especially the tenderloin sliders. The bacon wrapped scallops were delicious too. Having a Barman was such a great addition and made it easy to great guests. More...

Delicious and plentiful Thanksgiving cuisine. Our family enjoyed the food. Will use again.
Mori
Let me tell you just ask chef Ron what will make your guests’s mouths water…don’t waste your time he knows…give him the feel of the event and stop worrying.
Our guests are still talking about the yummy food. Some of the men took a second filet slider for the drive home. This nervous party host calmed down after one conversation with chef Ron. He followed thru on every commitment he make. He engaged with our guests by talking about the food.
Our party was such a success we are now the “cool kids” We will be contacting Bernwood Catering for future entertainment needs.

Chef Ron’s food was fabulous, and I cannot recommend him more. In pre-wedding planning, Chef Ron was very helpful in making decisions (decisive when I needed him to be) and giving me ideas based on his vast experience. As for the day/week of the wedding- Chef Ron and his team were so flexible and I cannot appreciate it more. I got married the week of Hurricane Milton, and even with changes to the venue (as mine cancelled), and numbers (many people could not make it), Chef Ron and his team were calm, organized, and helpful. Everything was perfect: tables, staffing, and of course, the food was spectacular! Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing the food was!Thanks Chef Ron! More...
Pamela Kirby

Chef Ron exceeded our expectations and was a big help with deciding the perfect menu for my sister's baby shower. Everyone raved about the BBQ meatballs, homemade chips, and pasta salad.

Ron Casterline, at Bernwood Catering, recently catered my daughter’s wedding. It went without incident. Everything exceeded expectations. The food was excellent (both quality and preparation), perfectly portioned, beautifully presented. One of the best parts was just the cheerful presence of Ron and his staff. I would recommend Bernwood without hesitation and have been patting myself on the back for choosing them! More...

Hannah LeTendre
We could not have dreamed of a better catering experience for our wedding weekend! Ron and his staff not only catered our wedding but our rehearsal dinner as well! For the rehearsal we had a fish fry and people are still talking about how fresh and perfectly breaded the fish was! It was the perfect Florida fish fry! For our wedding day he really out did himself! The cocktail hour included charcuterie, fresh blackened cilantro fish cups over a bed of tropical rice and avocado, and sesame ahi tuna wonton nachos! Followed up by island salad, juicy prime rib, a honey pineapple ham, roasted veggies, and pasta! Don’t let me forget the delicious cannolis! Every piece of food was down right delightful and the presentation was beautiful! The service was top notch and the entire operation is 10 out of 10! I could not recommend them enough! Thanks Ron and team for helping make our wedding perfect in every detail! You all were awesome! More...
Karen
I worked with Ron@Bernwood Catering for a work event for 20 people in April. It consisted of 2 lunches. Chef Ron and his crew were very dependable. The food was delicious-one lunch Mexican and the other Caribbean themed. My favorite were the fajitas and the spareribs! Thank you! More...
Kerry
Chef Ron and Bernwood Catering prepared and presented beautifully, all the food for my Wedding in April 2024. Everyone genuinely raved about the perfectly cooked tenderloin, stuffed grouper and vegetables;
some people even had seconds!
Before The Day, I was overthinking every detail. But I really did not have to worry about a single thing! The service from Chef Ron's team was seamless, relaxed and friendly. From the hors d'oeuvres to the salad course to the desserts, the delicious food appeared and was cleared as if by magic.
I can't thank Ron enough for his endless patience and excellent suggestions throughout this process.

Ron and his team are tremendously accommodating and are very professional. The food was delivered on time and well presented with a kind serving staff. Communication with this team was consistent and and clear, as a wedding planner it is critical to reply on a large team who provides so much of the reception and the delivery was exception. Chef Ron went above and beyond to oversee every detail to ensure continuity, a great aesthetic and of course a very delicious meal! More...
