Amazing all around

Very professional, they know what they're doing and are great at it. Immanuel helped me throughout the entire planning process insuring I did not forget common things, and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. Our event was a success thanks to them and their staff, they supplied bartenders for us as well as servers to distribute appetizers to guests. Food was also a 10 out of 10. Thank you Basnights.

Immanuel, Caroline, and Vicki deserve 10 stars!!!

We had the pleasure of having Lone Cedar as our caterers at our wedding and we would not have had it any other way. We have been long time customers and we knew that there was no other choice. We received compliments for weeks after the wedding about how great the food was. The filet was cooked to perfection, the fried shrimp was divine, and the grouper was melt in your mouth good. My favorite side was the posh squash followed closely by the roasted carrots. The servers and bartenders did an amazing job and they were all very professional and kind. Immanuel was very easy to work with and made the process fun! I highly recommend using Lone Cedar for your catering needs.

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
