Meet Our Catering Team
A Match Made in Heaven
Having trouble deciding which catering service to use? Let our Catering Team guide you, with access to over 15 amazing restaurants across Madison. Showcasing a wide variety of food styles, price ranges, and settings, we can bring the catering to you, or, rent out a private room or even an entire restaurant. Through years of industry experience, Lisa and Josie will help you narrow down what you're looking for, then build a custom menu, and host a tasting if you like. With Food Fight, finding the caterer for your event could just be the easiest thing on your checklist!
EVENT DIRECTOR
Lisa Loup
My favorite offering right now is the Miko Buffet—it's light, summery, and with their new proteins like steak and pork, it’s an easy crowd pleaser!
With over 20 years in the event industry, Lisa knows how to throw a party. She loves to help clients figure out exactly what they’re looking for, then bring that vision to life through custom, creative menus, and working side-by-side with the chefs, the venues, and coordinating with everyone involved. When she’s not on the job, you’ll find her on her porch, drinking wine and spending time with her family, or traveling and eating good food.
EVENT MANAGER
Josie Hardell
Craftsman Table and Tap is my favorite event space right now. The room opens onto a rooftop patio, and the versatile space is available for any meal of the day (or just drinks).
Josie has been in the restaurant industry for over ten years, as a server, manager, and events planner at a handful of upscale restaurants across Madison. In the catering business, she gets great satisfaction out of planning for every outcome and solving problems before they’re even problems—like having a welcome drink at-the-ready when there’s 100 guests and only two bartenders. She’s a Madison girl through and through, finding the best spicy margarita in every neighborhood, and living that Lake Life on a paddle board.

Read these testimonials from people who have celebrated with us in the past.
"We had Everly cater the food for our wedding as it is one of our favorite restaurants in Madison! I got so many compliments from my guests stating this was the best wedding food they ever had. Everly is super reasonably priced and the coordinator (Josie) and entire staff were extremely kind and courteous - constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything else. We love this restaurant and were so happy we got to have them be a part of our wedding!"
Ashley
"The food was absolutely amazing, just as good as in the restaurant. The staff was courteous and prompt, and Lisa was fantastic organizing everything, customizing the menu, and making everything work with our chosen venue. All our guests raved about the food and service!"
Danielle
"I just wanted to extend a big thank you to all involved with making my daughter’s baby shower at Craftsman a lovely event. The venue, the food, and the service were so great, and I will be “singing your praises” to anyone looking to a host a gathering. Jake was a delight in his service, incredibly accommodating and pleasant. Leia also was very attentive. I’ve appreciated your thorough communication and coordination in all the planning. Thanks again for everything!"
