Catering of Our Wildest Dreams!

We are so extremely grateful for finding Catering Connection!! Casey was so helpful, knowledgable, professional, and kind throughout the entire planning process and we simply could not have done this without her. She helped us understand what we needed, answered all of our millions of questions promptly, and worked with us so we could stay within our budget. It was such a joy to work with her and everyone at Catering Connection!!

Most importantly of all, the food was EXCELLENT! Many of our picky eaters or those with high food standards came to us during and after the wedding to tell us how incredible the entrees were! Unlike what happens at many weddings or events, everything from Catering Connection was still warm when we were eating it and it was truly delicious. And we still have people coming to us with compliments about the mini desserts!

Catering Connection also worked with Amigos Rentals and they worked with us to assemble our vision for our ceremony and reception! Everything was what we imagined and more!

Italian Themed Menu/Wedding

We would highly recommend Catering Connection to anyone looking for a great caterer! Casey was friendly, fun, organized, and quick to respond to our endless emails. The team and chefs went above and beyond to create an Italian menu, along with an Italian themed grazing table. Our tasting was fun and all of the food was delicious!! We would highly recommend Catering Connection to anyone planning their wedding. Thank you again for your wonderful service!
