Don't Sleep on the Seafood Pasta!

Dianna and the team at Catering Reserved were on the list of preferred vendors recommended by our venue, Sweeney Barn, and it isn't hard to see why.

Going into the wedding planning process we were naïve about the budget and cost for catering, linens, tables, rentals, etc. and it can get a bit overwhelming seeing how quickly it all adds up! However, I would do it all over again exactly as we did.

Dianna and her team knocked it out of the park. Our food was divine. The table settings looked dreamy and romantic. The staff was professional and organized. Our guests also made sure to tell us multiple times how phenomenal the bartending team was!

We ended up opting for a plated meal which included multiple apps, bread & a plated salad, and then guests' choice of chicken, beef, or seafood. I just cannot say enough how much I'll dream of that shrimp & seafood pasta and will dream of bathing in it.

My concern as someone that's been to many weddings was making sure no one had to wait forever for their food and that everything was as top-notch quality in taste, temperature, and presentation as it was at our tasting. Given that Sweeney Barn has one small elevator for the catering team to have to use to get to the 2nd floor, I'm actually FLOORED at how Dianna and team pulled it off! Additionally, Dianna is a gem to work with and very flexible/ accommodating. She helped make guided recommendations and was all about our signature cocktails.

Great Experience

We had the pleasure of working with Dianna at Catering Reserved. From the day we met Dianna and tasted Catering Reserved food, we knew we were going to choose this catering company for our wedding. Dianna was very helpful and informative and was not trying to push us to purchase anything outside of what we wanted for our day. The food and desserts were great and we even chose to have the donut wall, which was a HUGE hit at our wedding. We also had a great time picking out plate settings and linens from the rental company they work with. Overall a really great experience with Catering Reserved and Dianna. Thank you Dianna!

Great Experience for Small Reception!

Catering Reserved did an amazing job for our small October wedding dinner reception! We had a small space to work with and they handled the logistics and set-up with ease. The set-up was elegant, the passed appetizers and plated dinners were delicious! The service was impeccable, no one was wanting for anything the whole time. They cleaned up after and left the place in great shape. We also ordered late night snacks and breakfast casseroles to heat up the following day for brunch. They were all wonderful. And since I did not have a day-of coordinator, it helped that catering team was so organized! Highly recommend!
