Amazing food!

Kathy and her staff were great to work with for our daughter’s wedding and provided a number of great food options and packages. They provided a personalized tasting offering for us and was able to provide specialized packages for guests with food allergies. I would definitely hire them again !

Guests will not stop talking about the food

Kathy and her team are incredible. We had been to multiple tastings and hadn’t had a great experience with anyone yet until we went to see Cherry on Top. We were blown away by the braised short ribs, pecan crusted stuffed chicken, lemon sage pasta, sweet potatoes, and ratatouille. She even made adjustments to the menu for me (a vegetarian) to ensure my meal was just as wonderful. She even sent us home with leftovers from the tasting which was crazy. The leftovers were just as amazing. Our guests would not stop talking about the food even after the wedding.

Best Caterer in DFW

Cherry on top was BY FAR our favorite wedding vendor to work with! We cannot recommend them enough! Kathy was a true joy to work with and to get to know. She truly cared for our event like it was one that she was throwing, and boy did she execute. The food was by far the best wedding food that we have experienced. The catering staff was wonderful too. Overall, we give Cherry on Top and Kathy a 10 out of 10 and will be happy to recommend her to all of our family and friends for their future events. I truly don't think there could be a better wedding caterer in DFW.

Exceptional

I can't say enough about how amazing Kathy and her team were for our wedding! She is extremely professional and puts her whole heart into what she does! Weddings are stressful but choosing Cherry on Top catering took a huge weight off of our shoulders. The food was delicious and the cheese and fruit display was gorgeous!

A Warm and Personable Catering Company

Kathy is a saint! She helped us navigate a two-year COVID delay to our big day. Although we eloped and rescheduled everything as a 1-year "vow renewal", Kathy worked with us and helped re-plan.

To start, she made substitutions and alterations during the tasting to accommodate allergies, which gave us a great idea of what our meal could actually look like for the celebration. She walked us through all the details of a buffet vs plated service, number of servers needed, and what to expect from them day-of. She did all of this while being very conscious of our budget (and generous with the offerings).

Some highlights of their outstanding service:
- put out water and tea before and during the wedding for our guests
- handed out appetizers during cocktail hour
- bussed tables after dinner
- cut and plated cake
- cleaned and crated all of the dishes
- appetizers were unbelievably delicious
- great vegan meals and accommodation of dietary restrictions

They worked so that the food portion of the night went smooth, and displayed great professionalism throughout the entire night and planning process.

An extreme delight!

Cherry On Top Catering was the most wonderful and professional catering team I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Cathy and her chef did such an amazing and detailed job of making sure everything tasted the way they needed to for the wedding. I wasn't expecting to be waited to hand and foot! It made the dinner and dessert go so smoothly! The Bar Tender was so nice and made everyone so comfortable! No pause in between meals and everyone was happy and full! HIGHLY Recommend! 10000/10!

Best Caterer with a heart of gold!

Kathy and her team were wonderful! My daughter picked Cherry on Top because she wanted an all vegan wedding and because Kathy came highly recommended by our venue, the 4 Eleven.
Choosing Kathy was one of the best decisions we made!!! Although Cherry on Top's cuisine is usually not vegan, they went out of their way to design a vegan menu that would meet the needs of all of our guests. The food was delicious!!! Their servers and bartenders were also excellent - everything was done professionally and beautifully. I could have been more delighted in how things turned out!
Best of all was that I felt like Kathy took my daughter under her wing, making sure everything was done properly and even agreeing to meet us at the venue to help us make sure our table arrangements and decor would be suit the number of guests and our general objectives.
Kathy loves what she does and it shows! She loves her brides and will do whatever she can to make the special day as beautiful and stress-free as possible! I highly recommend. The food was fabulous!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Please ask Kathy about the story of the name "Cherry on Top"! It's an endearing story that gets to the heart of the love, hospitality, and customer service that you'll receive from Kathy and her team at Cherry on Top. Kathy is a genuinely great person who knows how to take care of everyone while getting everything done. Having have worked together on many events, it only took one event for my assistant to notice Kathy, not having have met her previously. He said, "She knows how to get stuff done!" but a little more colorfully! He was impressed and won over... like you will once you hire Kathy and her team! You've made the right choice! Have an amazing wedding (event)!
