    Super Customizable!

    The food from Catering by Design was delicious! While creating the menu, we felt as though the Catering by Design team took our wants and budget into account! My husband and I are vegan and the Catering by Design team worked with us to ensure that at each station a vegan option was available. My dream was to have late-night french fries served at the wedding and Catering by Design made it happen!!! Also, Catering by Design did the cupcakes for dessert. It was so nice to not need another vendor in the mix.

    On the day of my wedding, the Catering by Design staff was incredibly kind and always there when we needed them. My wedding guests still rave about how delicious and unique the food was (many Mid-west family members did not know what jackfruit was).

    Bottom line, if you want good food and fantastic vendor interactions, hire Catering by Design!

    Excellent Catering Service!

    We chose Catering By Design for our wedding and we are so happy that we did! As stressful as wedding planning is, Catering By Design made the catering and rental process seamless. We worked with Alycen during planning and the day of, who was fantastic. From my initial inquiry, all responses from CBD were prompt, and all my needs and questions were addressed. Our menu tasting was so fun and delicious. All of our guests gave us compliments on how good the food was!

    Delicious food for an upscale ranch wedding!!

    Thank you to all who rocked our special day. The food was SUCH a hit!! Alison and Ching were so so helpful and if we didn't like something they worked around it. no problem. My husband and I are total foodies so we no doubt were particular about how things were prepared, etc but they knocked it out of the park. And with a smile on their face to boot!! Guests have repeatedly mentioned how delicious the food was. One of the highlights for sure!

I use one word to sum up Catering by Design when talking to Villa clients: Classy. The food is always delicious, the staff is always respectful and positive, and the display has always had a lot of thought put into it. We love working with the team Ingrid has put together and anyone who wants to have an elegant, well run event should take a long and hard look at Catering by Design!
