A+ wedding caterer

Casey was an incredible person to work with for our wedding. She was so helpful during our food tasting and we felt so supported. It was also such a fun experience and we knew that if we could feel the energy in our tasting, that our guests would feel it at the wedding. Our guests keep telling us the food was so good and they haven’t eaten so much in their lives. Casey’s staff was so professional and worked as a team with our other vendors to create a seamless experience. I can’t say enough good things. I would 100% recommend.

AMAZING Experience, SO Thankful We Found You !!!

Casey and Catering Connection was absolutely AMAZING! From the very start, she was incredibly easy to work with, responsive, and professional. Our expectations were high after an outstanding tasting, but they still managed to exceed them on our wedding day.

We opted for a buffet instead of a plated dinner, and every dish was beyond delicious. The passed appetizers were so tasty... my only regret is that I didn't get to eat more of them. Casey guided us every step of the way in the planning process, helping us choose the perfect number and kins of apps, cocktails, and buffet items to create the exact kind of party we envisioned.

Catering Connection genuinely delivered on every promise and more. I can't recommend them enough! If you're planning a wedding or any event, seriously just do yourself the favor and hire Catering Connection ASAP. They truly made our special day EASY and unforgettable.

Fantastic!!!

The folks at Catering Connection were just amazing. My husband and I wanted to bring together our two backgrounds through food, using a combination of family recipes--and Catering Connection was up for the challenge! Working with them was a breeze, they were fun to work with, very professional, and the food was FANTASTIC! Everyone loved it. Can't recommend them highly enough, and very reasonable pricing. Sincere thanks to Catering Connection for making our wedding day so special!
