Catering Highlights
JMU Catering can plan any event, from a casual picnic to plated formal dinner, and everything in-between. We look forward to working with you!
Meetings and Special Events
Are you planning an event at JMU? We are here to help; we can support inter-office meetings, a staff thank you meal, and large-scale grand events. Each event is crafted with you and your guests in mind to help keep you fueled and ready to go.
Events Made Easy
Are you hosting a tailgate with friends or a party at your house? We offer pick-up options that keep you out of the kitchen and focused on the event. Anything from a simple cheese and charcuterie tray, a delicious cake handcrafted by our bakeshop, or a full tailgate spread to cheer on the Dukes!
Sustainability
JMU Dining is committed to being sustainable in all locations across campus. Catering participates in composting food waste and recycling cardboard products. Clients can also request a low waste option that includes minimal food waste and compostable serving products.
Menus
We are here to work with you on your catering needs. To make the process seamless, all catering orders should be placed 10 business days prior to your event. While we make every effort to accompany last-minute orders, we cannot guarantee your first-choice selections can be fulfilled.
Everyday Event Menu
The Everyday Event Menu encompasses a full range of exceptional full-service options that emphasize variety, excellence and value. These menus can be adapted for drop-off or pick-up. Our drop-off menus allow you to enjoy your event and simply dispose of all products once your guests have finished- no clean up needed!
Everyday Per Diem Menu
Our Per Diem Catering Menu is designed to offer flexible, high-quality meal options for teams and individuals working on a daily allowance. Whether you're hosting a small meeting, supporting field staff, or coordinating a training session, this menu provides a variety of fresh, satisfying choices that align with per diem budgets. These menus can be adapted for drop-off or pick-up, to help keep your meeting moving with minimal interruptions.
Student Menu
The Student Menu is all about providing great options and real value to student groups who may not otherwise have access to high-quality catering. These selections are designed for easy pick-up at our office and ensure that our students can plan a great party on any budget!

Have a special dinner coming up and need a custom menu? Are you not sure what menu might be best for your event? Reach out to our staff and they can help guide you!
