I cannot say enough amazing things about Catering Works!!! We had the absolute pleasure of working with their team for our 2025 November wedding and every little detail was immaculate.

We had originally hired them for our wedding when we were getting married at a venue in Raleigh, which ended up closing shortly after our booking, but Catering Works did not hesitate to ensure they were still part of our day even through the transition of booking a new venue. And although a lot of the preparation stations were different from our original venue to the new venue, they stepped up to ensure we still had a 5 star experience for us and our guests, making it work no matter where our big day was taking place. Their ability to pivot with us and still provide support throughout was so appreciated.

As for the staff itself, we worked with Nicole, who ensured every detail from the bar needs to appetizers, small plates, late night snacks, desserts, and the main course were thoroughly thought through from start to finish. Even after hundreds of emails back and forth and phone calls, she was incredibly kind and gracious throughout answering every small question with enthusiasm.

We not only enjoyed the amazing food, but the staff as well. They were an incredibly kind group and made everyone feel welcome and acknowledged throughout cocktail hour and the reception.

We cannot recommend Catering Works enough to any future brides/grooms as well as any other major life events where amazing food is a necessity!

We used catering works for our wedding caterer and couldn't have had a better experience!

Kelli was our point of contact from the beginning and we really enjoyed working with her and valued her assistance. She was personable, professional, timely with her email responsiveness, and knowledgable. She was really helpful with creating our menu during the tasting. They had lots of options for serving trays and display trays for our dessert table that allowed us to customize it to fit our decor. They set up the dessert table display without needing guidance from us and matched the aesthetic perfectly!

We chose to do passed hors d'oeuvres and a buffet style dinner. They made sure to have the hors d'oeuvres pulled aside for my husband and I to have during cocktail hour. They were incredibly accommodating to our guests who had dietary restrictions as well. The food was incredible and we got nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests. The staff onsite on the wedding day was very attentive, not only to us, but to all of our guests. They were continuously refilling drinks for everyone and made sure service ran smoothly. Staff was also efficient at the end of the night with clearing all the rental items and decor.

Can't say enough good things about our experience with Catering Works!

Okay, so it's been four whole years since our wedding, but honestly, the memories of the food and service are still crystal clear – and still make our mouths water! We seriously hit the jackpot with Catering Works. They absolutely crushed it and made our big day even more perfect.

Let's talk about the food first – it was beyond perfect. We had 4 passed horderves during cocktail hour, all delicious, especially the duck corn cake. A server came out to us and our bridal party with a tray for us to nibble (plus our signature cocktails) while we took photos, which was truly appreciated because we never had time to eat until then.

Each dinner dish/side was a winner. Like, truly restaurant-quality. Being a Maryland girl, I'm always hypercritical of crab cakes outside of Maryland 😂, but I was truly impressed that I could have a high quality crab cake away from my roots on my wedding day. Our guests still bring up how amazing the meal was, and honestly, so do we! It wasn't just "wedding food," that has become typical at weddings.

Desserts and cake? Oh. My. Goodness. They looked incredible, but tasted even better! We had a two tier cake and a mini dessert bar so we could have a variety. We had gluten free chocolate cookies (my favorite), fruit tarts, macarons, caramel bites, strawberry shortcake (husband’s favorite); seriously, all the sweets were absolutely top notch.

Beyond the deliciousness, the service was just phenomenal. The team was super professional, always there when you needed them, and genuinely nice. They built a plate for us so we could mingle with our guests and came back to a much needed meal. They handled everything so smoothly with my dad's alpha gal allergy and we didn't have to lift a finger. That meant we could actually relax and soak up every moment of our wedding day, which was priceless.

The most meaningful part was the end of the night before we left our venue (The Meadows at Firefly Farm, highly recommend 😍) was the gift basket we were given full of a variety of desserts from our dessert bar, and slices of our wedding cake because we never had time to eat dessert AND a bottle of champagne. Talk about a personal touch, we were so impressed and felt truly cared for.

It's pretty rare for something to leave such a strong, memorable mark after so long, but our caterer totally did. We still rave about them. If you're planning a wedding and want food that'll be talked about for years, desserts that are divine, and service that's absolutely flawless, Catering Works is where it's at. They made our wedding day foodie dreams perfect, and we're forever grateful!
