We loved A&B!

We had our wedding at McKay Ballroom. Everything was super affordable, Sammy was wonderful to work with -she helped a lot with planning and was very professional.
The staff was great, we loved the pesto chicken and potato gratin!

I've never had better pot roast.

My spouse and I got married Oct 2024. We had Above and Beyond cater our reception and oh my lord the food. Everyone couldn't stop saying how great it was. Everything was awesome. You'd think getting buffet style pot roast it'd be dry, right? Absolutely not. Melted in your mouth tender. My biggest regret from the reception was not getting more food for myself with everything going on.

Totally recommend!

Working with this company was such a breeze. They responded timely to my emails and made sure I was always aware of what was going on. Bonus: They coordinated amazingly with my wedding planner!! The food was to die for. I would 100% recommend booking with them and would do it again.

Great experience!!

We had a great experience with Above & Beyond Catering! From the beginning Sammy was so helpful and responsive, and was able to quickly provide us multiple different quotes for our wedding. We did a take-away tasting which was very helpful in deciding what to serve. Everyone loved the appetizers and the meal, especially the stuffed dates and the bourbon glazed beef brisket. Would recommend!!

Wonderful Experience!

Above and Beyond catered our wedding in September of 2023! Sammy was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She was very communicative and made the whole process very easy and answered any questions that we had. The day of the wedding went very smoothly and the food was wonderful. I as the bride only heard good things from our guests, and did not hear about any issues later on. We definitely recommend their services for any occasion!!

Excellent in every way!

We got married in August 2023 and used Above and Beyond for our caterer. We both agree that they did go above and beyond our expectations! We worked with Sammy from start to finish, she guided us through the menu options, prices, timeline and addressed every detail. In addition, she was quick to respond to any questions we had along the way, and she really made the process very easy. The staff members at our reception were friendly and professional and did an amazing job as well! In addition to all that, we are still hearing from our guests how delicious the food was! We would not hesitate to use Above and Beyond catering again and highly recommend them to anyone who has an upcoming event. Above and Beyond Catering is simply excellent in every way!

Incredible!

Absolutely GREAT food! The service before and during my event was exemplary as well. Sammy was great to work with setting everything up and Archie and Kylie were wonderful servers for the day. The prep area they used in my home was spotless when they left. I could not be happier. Just a fantastic experience!!! 5+ STARS

Such a wonderful experience,great food.

I was very nervous about the food. Having never had their food before I wasn’t sure what to expect. We had a rather large wedding so it was our biggest expense. It was absolutely delicious! Everything was first rate! Our guests were extremely complimentary regarding the meal. Everyone at A and B was very professional and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend them.

Their Name Says It All!

They are Above and Beyond Catering for a reason - they truly went above and beyond for us! The food was absolutely exceptional. People raves about the spinach artichoke stuffed salmon all night. The decor they provided for the buffet went perfectly with my vision. The service was phenomenal. You seriously can’t go wrong with this company. This is not your average wedding food and service!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
