Linda L. Married on 09/18/2021The best catering we've ever had!
Jan was so amazing! It was seriously the best catering we have ever had! Their menu is huge, and Jan was so receptive and communicative throughout the whole process. I've attended so many weddings where the food was very mediocre. Every item from Busy Bee was so delicious! My partner and I are so incredibly grateful for how she listened and worked with us to create a great menu and how many vegan and vegetarian options she had. All the guests were raving, especially the vegan and vegetarian ones! Also, Jan was incredibly timely. She arrived right at the expect time. She was a big part of why our event was such a big success! Highly recommend!Busy Bee Catering's reply:
Wow Linda, that makes me cry, especially after I made you almost cry! You know what I mean... Thanks for having us and for sharing the sweet compliments. Best to you both.
XOXO

Haley K. Married on 07/08/2021The best food and the best people!!!
One of my favorite parts of wedding planning was working with Jan and Todd- I want to host 20000 more events just so I can work with them over and over again. They are the kindest people and truly put love into everything they create. They had so many helpful ideas and whenever I felt clueless ( many times) they were right there to answer my questions and suggest what they thought would work best.
And now the food... holy cow. It's been months since our wedding and we literally still get comments about how amazing the food was. I wish I was eating the cheesy potatoes right now. Jan also created the most gorgeous grazing table for our cocktail hour, and people were getting their cell phones out to take photos because it was so darn beautiful. I could really go on and on, but the bottom line is that Busy Bee is a vendor you need to have at your wedding.-
