The Food & Service was delicious!

Working with Immanuel and the caterers at Basnight's was incredibly easy. The reception buffet selections were scrumptous--- guests couldn't speak more highly of the food. The servers were friendly and went above and beyond when passing appetizers during the cocktail hour to make sure even those getting pictures were able to enjoy the appetizers. Leftovers were boxed up and presented to us with the sweetest notes and well wishes written on the them. I highly recommend Basnight's Lone Cedar for your big day!

Amazing! Highly recommend

Best wedding food ever! We had perfectly prepared filet mignon and fresh fish with fruit salsa. The appetizers were so yummy also! Tuna tostada was my favorite. The servers were friendly, attentive and professional. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lone Cedar. They have perfected the catering niche and I am so grateful to the entire team! I highly recommend Lone Cedar and would use them again.

Delicious!

We loved this vendor! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. All the guests really enjoyed the food. They set up, clean up and serve; we also hired a bartender and he was awesome too! Couldn’t be happier.
