Chloe and Zack Werth’s Wedding.

Hi there. This is Zack Werth. Our experience with 3 Dudes and Dinner was perfect. From the start, I wanted to make sure the food was good at our wedding. It’s very disappointing to attend a wedding with mediocre food. We had visited a couple other places, but the food was lacking or too pricy. Then Chloe found 3 Dudes and Dinner. We scheduled a tasting for a few entrees and when we went, it was really very good. Same thing with hors d’oeuvres. The staff are all really friendly and great cooks. On the wedding night, the food was great and nearly everyone we’ve talked to since said the food was a highlight of our reception. They really helped make our wedding special and I will not forget that.
Thank you again to 3 Dudes and Dinner.

Gracious professionalism

3 Dudes and Dinner helped create a relaxing, satisfying reception for 40 for our September wedding. We worked closely via phone, text, and email with Amy to create an appetizer and buffet dinner menu that offered something for everyone. She was great at narrowing the choices with me and making suggestions. Everything was in place when they said it would be. What I appreciated the most were gracious personal touches - from the team setting aside a plate of appetizers for my husband and I for after pictures to Amy offering to plate my dinner at the buffet to protect my wedding dress from mishaps. The whole staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. Absolutely recommend!

Perfect Catering for Your Michigan Wedding

Three Dudes was our first and only choice for our wedding. All of the staff are incredibly personable, professional, and genuinely kind. The owner Chris, was invested in us not just as clients, but as a couple. He was excited for our challenge: to curate a Puerto Rican-inspired dinner for 100 guests (I, the bride, am Puerto Rican). He was determined to get the flavor profiles right, and even asked me how my grandmother would prepare her recipes. I was so impressed and felt so taken care of.

Amy, the manager, went out of her way to make us feel calm and collected the day-of, offered to have the staff bring us plates instead of waiting in the buffet line (which was so lovely) and made sure we stayed hydrated. She led her staff so well and kept everyone smiling and happy.

Above all, everyone was kind, professional, willing to go with the flow, and was incredibly responsible. I would highly recommend them for any of your wedding related events!

The Zuke’s Wedding

3 Dudes & Dinner were so amazing to work with! We searched for a caterer that would caterer to a smaller wedding event! It was a very difficult process, not many caterers were willing to help if we didn’t sign up for an entree and/or use their bar services. 3 Dudes & Dinner were the exact opposite! Whatever we wanted, however we wanted, was their customer service promise! Not only were they great with their customer service, the food was AMAZING! Our guests were so impressed, as were we! The food arrived and we couldnt have been happier! Would recommend to anyone needing great food, and great service! :)

Exceptional!

The entire staff was beyond reproach. We had a very large wedding reception of 475 people and they were all through the buffet line in 20 minutes. The food was delicious, the staff was incredible, professional and friendly. The service was beyond any expectation. There literally are no words to describe how happy we are with 3 Dudes & Dinner. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to use in the future.

So much more than a caterer

3 Dudes and Dinner were incredible to work with from start to finish. They were always responsive and so flexible during these challenging times. Our guest list changed about 4 times and our venue ended up changing too. They went along with all changes and were incredibly helpful in planning space needs and reception setup. Just as important, the food they make is amazing!!! Almost every guest told us this was the best wedding food they've ever had. I do not think there is a better caterer out there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
