YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY! All the guests loved it! Thank you sooo much! It was on time, hot and delicous! Didn't have too much or too little. Had just a little left over to take home so I felt really good they had the right portions down for the right amount of people. Don't want to run out, but don't want to pay for food you didn't have to. It was PERFECT! Thanks! Mr. and Mrs. Blas :)

My husband and I had our wedding at Dallas Heritage Village, also known as Old City Park. Glory House Catering is on their preferred list. We chose to work with Jo Ann Goin because I liked that she was straight to the point. She impressed me as someone who is a no nonsense type and would get the job done right. Do not be turned off by the fact that she is not fake and does not over sell herself. Jo Ann knows how to cater an event! I booked Glory House several months before our wedding and Jo Ann responded promptly every time I had a question. I had heard good things about them so had high expectations of her staff and was blown away at how great they were. I did not need a coordinator for the reception because Jo Ann handled the logistics of the evening personally. She was not hired to do anything regarding the ceremony which was also at DHV and yet she took the time during our final walk-thru to make some much needed suggestions. Our guest list was quite diverse as we had various people in from Europe as well as locals. We received numerous compliments from so many people on the staff, food, and service. I even had people come up to me during the reception to ask me who the caterer was. The evening went smoothly. I was very happy with the demeanor of Jo Ann’s staff. They were dressed sharply and seemed happy to be there. I would highly recommend Glory House Catering to anyone who wants great food, great service, and happy guests!!

Jo Ann was very helpful to me during my planning stage, and the food was delicious. I got a ton of compliments on the food and all of the chicken was gone by the end of the night. We had salad, roasted veggies, cheese tortellini, spinach & mozzarella stuffed chicken, and brisket with au jus. The only negative was that she was a little difficult for my coordinator to work with the day of. She had attitude about pre setting the tables even though we had agreed on everyone’s duties at the walk through the week before. I also realized the next day that there was no sauce provided for the tortellini, even though we had agreed on having alfredo and marinara sauce available. She did end up refunding me $200 for a verbal agreement that we had that I forgot to get in writing, which I didn’t expect.

Thanks for your review. Glory House was pleased to provide the catering for your wedding! I do want to bring to your attention the detail on your written contract. The front page of the contract clearly instructs the following: "Coordinator (your coordinator, not Glory House) places all dinner plates on tables. Glory House will fold linen napkin and give to Megan to plate along with the silverware." Also I am reviewing your written confirmed contractual menu and do not see sauces listed as part of your menu. I apologize if there was any confusion. Many times, when planning a wedding, it is important to review the final contract to make sure all the written info match your mental expectations. Your wedding was very lovely and we were honored to be a part of it.Thanks for your review. Glory House was pleased to provide the catering for your wedding!

Jo Ann and her staff are very helpful! This is a one stop shop, but if you'd like to bring in your own centerpieces/decor you're able to do so! She provided a great custom menu (Carnival theme wedding), DJ, Bartender and ceremony decor (candle/unity candle stands, arch). She's also able to help you find vendors for you flowers, cakes, linens, entertainment.... They're great! I highly recommend Glory House!

Ann and her staff at Glory House were top-notch! I had several other meetings with very well-known, high-end caterers in the DFW area, and they either let me meet with an inexperienced sales person or they dropped me as a client at the last minute when a higher-paying job came in. Glory House was the exact opposite. Jo Ann met with me personally, gave me an exact price in the first meeting, and met me at the venue and at the rental shop. Her staff made sure we were always attended to during our reception, bringing us food and drinks, always staying on top of the next item in the itinerary. They were extremely friendly and caring throughout the entire process. Had I not had the terrible experiences with a few of the big-name caterers in the area, I may never have found Glory House. But I am so glad I found them-they made my reception fun and hassle-free!

JoAnn catered a buffet at my 200+ guests at my wedding. One of the main reasons I chose Glory House was that I provided my budget, and she created a spreadsheet with the choices I would have for my price range. She also will make appointments for tastings before you've booked - not all caterers will do this, AND provide an itemized list of the costs you can expect. She was always very responsive to emails and phone calls. JoAnn is very to the point - she won't waste your time, which I liked. The food was very good, and we got several compliments from our guests.
She had brought extra food to my event and ended up using all of it, so I was billed extra after my wedding - however, I'm skeptical that I had over 20 extra people show up to my wedding than what I anticipated. To be fair, I did not bring this up with Glory House. I just want other brides to know that they may need to anticipate extra charges afterwards if their guest count is higher than what they anticipated, or if their guests get too many servings of seconds (which they shouldn't need, because the portions were huge!) I was pleased with Glory House's efficiency, service, and quality. The food was good, I felt like my time was valued during the planning process, and the wedding day went off smoothly.

Glory House Catering was wonderful. My husband was worried to do a buffett because he said the food is never tasty. Our food was delicious. Glory House made these bacon wrapped jalapenos that were to die for. The setup was also nice. Glory House was great in setting up two areas; one buffet and an appetizer placement in the gardens we had cocktail hour. They worked well with Events by S&J (my wedding coordinators) in setting up the food tables in the way we had discussed. I would definitely use them again for any other events.

We choose Glory House Catering first for the economics. Then I went and tasted the food and I was pleased. Over the course of maybe about 8 months before our wedding when I had signed the contract with them, I would think of questions and emailed or called the owner, Jo Ann Goin, who always promptly answered my questions and helped me with whatever I needed. It is not just about the food. If you find a catering team that helps with the set-up and break-down (not the physical tables and chairs) but the decor and overseeing the orchestration of your reception (along with your band or MC) then you have to know that you can communicate with your caterer and that they are willing to help you, not just serve you food. Glory House does all this. They are an awesome team and the team leader of your party is a very important person. We had an awesome one who I had gotten to know months before our wedding reception night so that helped make us feel comfortable that she would make things run smoothly. Little things that you may not even think about as first time bride and groom (or not familiar with throwing a big bash), they will think of and walk you through. They have the personality that they will tell you as much or as little as you want, if you don't want to be bothered. I liked to be part of all the details so they were very nice with me. Granted, they were the biggest ticket item in our whole vendor list (cost alot of money to feed alot of people) but they worked with us the closest of anyone and I really appreciated the availability that provided of themselves to us in answering questions, etc. I would highly recommend them. I am a real bride. We were married in May 2009 at Texas Discovery Gardens. I have nothing negative to say about Glory House Catering!!!!

We booked Receptions On The Main approximately a month before my daughter's wedding. Jo Ann Goin, the owner, was very gracious, and provided everything we needed for planning the entire ceremony and reception including appetizers, a full buffet, table and chair cover rentals, flowers, wait staff and an appointed host to organize the event. She also provided referrals for the bar and the D.J.
All of the guests were very complimentary on the elegance, food, and service from Receptions On The Main. I love the location in the old downtown historic area of Irving. The downtown square is very beautiful and Receptions on the Main caps the ambiance of the Heritage District. I would highly recommend Receptions On The Main. Not only was the service and professionalism top notch, the cost was also minimal compared to other venues. I love giving my business to other independent business owners. Jo Ann Goin is one of the best. Donna Wall, mother of the bride 214-929-0670

Being an event coordinator I was apprehensive about finding a caterer at the last minute and staying within a lower budget. I assumed I could only have one or the other...GLORY HOUSE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! They were extremely flexible and offered menu suggestions that kept the couple within their specified budget. I was happily surprised by the cost and the food arranged. It looked as if the couple spent much more than $700. JoAnn and her team were considerate and above all professional. I will definitely use them and/or suggest their services in the future. Thanks and many blessing to you!

Glory House Catering is exceptional and I would recommend it to anyone. The reception hall is elegant and staff is very professional. The owner, Jo Ann, pays attention to every little detail to make sure everything is done and to make sure we were satisfied. My daughter, who is a picky eater, loved the food. I have used this catering company for a business breakfast and a luncheon in the past and everyone loved it.
