Catering Works = Catering Win

I highly recommend using Catering Works for wedding!
When starting the planning process, I knew that quality catering was high on my list of priorities. From the beginning, Kelli was amazing to work with. We had an in depth meeting to discuss our event, our needs, our "must haves", any concerns we had etc. This in depth and thorough communication continued throughout our whole process.
We had an amazing food tasting where the staff presented options that were outside of what we thought we wanted and we ended up loving some of the options presented!
Kelli was methodical when documenting small tweaks to their standard recipes, was open to feedback, was willing to discuss any ideas we went to her with.
The day of our wedding, the staff that was at the event was amazing. Every single one of them were professional, responsive, and very friendly. Our food was better than we could have imagined - great portion sizes, hot upon arrival, and beautifully plated. We also had a pastry chef for our cupcake bar and that was a hit with our guests!
Overall, great experience with everyone at Catering Works. In the wedding planning process where every decision feels like the biggest decision, make this decision easy and have Catering Works at your wedding.

Hire Catering Works for Your Event!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Catering Works. From beginning to end, the process was seamless, the staff were positive and enjoyable to work with, and the food was phenomenal. We reached out about a year ahead of our wedding and worked with Kelly the whole way. We were planning our wedding from NYC, so we had to coordinate trips for tastings. When the weather was not in our favor and our flights were cancelled, Catering Works made it easy to reschedule and find new times to do our tastings. They even made sure my dad could pick up our first tasting to go when our second trip was delayed.

When it came time for our tasting, we thoroughly enjoyed everything and had very little notes. Their chefs are fantastic! Catering Works handled all the food and drinks for our wedding including an open bar, cocktail hour, dinner, cake, other desserts, and late night food. We added the late night food two weeks ahead of the event and there was no issue with the late addition. It was easy to customize everything to our liking and pricing was transparent.

The night of the wedding, everything was seamless. The food was fantastic. Our guests were raving about the food for weeks after our wedding. We had an outdoor cocktail hour and dinner. The staff passed out food during the cocktail hour while my husband and I finished out pictures. When we finally got to sit down at our table, they brought us plates of all the appetizers and saved extras in case we wanted more. Dinner was served right on time and all our guests dietary restrictions were met with ease. We received rave reviews from the vegan options that were made available to those who needed them. Staff even made sure to take special care of our guests who were fasting for religious reasons during cocktail hour and prioritized getting their dinner to them promptly.

The bars were open all night and the bartenders also received rave reviews from our guests. Drinks were made quickly and guests were never thirsty. There were also staff dedicated to my husband and I to make sure our needs were met and we never waited in line. We were even able to point out VIP guests (i.e. our parents) who should also receive extra special treatment to avoid lines and access the highest quality liquor (we were able to customize exactly the amount of and type of liquor we wanted to offer).

The cake was DELICIOUS! We had a small round cutting cake for photos and a large flat sheet cake that they cut in the back before serving to guests. It was significantly more cost effective to purchase the cake this way instead of ordering a huge round cake for 200 guests. Catering Works worked with us without issue to make sure we got the cake we wanted for the guests we had without breaking the bank.

The late night food was a huge hit and a surprise for our guests. The photos we have of guests ravaging the french fry bar are some of our favorites. My husband and I missed the late night food and Catering Works made sure to send us home with a plate of everything we missed. I still dream about the apple pie and the chicken and waffle bites.

I would 1000% recommend Catering Works for your event. The staff are amazing, the food is phenomenal, and the service from planning to the end of your event is top tier.
