Great communication.

Cincinnati Catering was great with everything. Anytime I had a question I just emailed them and they responded back very quickly no rather how many times or how silly my question was. They kept their professionalism everytime. Whether it be the wait staff or servers at the wedding or whoever I spoke to through phone or email. They also had dessert options too which also persuaded our decision to go with them. Loved that we had one less vendor to worry about. Thank you Cincinnati Catering for helping make our day the best day!

Amazing experience

From start to finish, I couldn’t recommend them enough. We scheduled a tasting and it was such good food. We upgraded to Flank Steak and added Mac and Cheese to the Couples Choice Package. They were on time and even started the dinner service early since we finished with our ceremony ahead of schedule. We opted to take home leftovers and our family had meal prep done for the week! They had great communication with me as well and checked in months and weeks leading up to the wedding.

Outstanding Quality

Cincinnati Catering would definitely get our business again. They were very professional, easy to work with, and man was the food good! Not only the pasta bar (which they also threw in some gluten free pasta for my wife and the maid of honor), but they had a fantastic dessert spread of cake, mini cupcakes, and brownies that were a hit with our guests!

Amazing!!!!

This agency was great to work with for our wedding day. They were helpful, friendly, and organized, and the food was delicious. The team eliminate the stress of planning when it came to catering and answered all of our questions and met our needs. The Catering staff on the day of the wedding were helpful and so kind. A great place to cater your food!

Very professional, solid team, and great food!

I was the DJ for Rachel & Jason's reception at the Nathaniel Greene Lodge and had the honor of working with you. The team that worked was solid and the food was amazing!

I hope I work with you again in the near future.

Amazing! Book now!

Words can't describe our experience with CC. They were so flexible and patient. Our guests had so many compliments about the food! We used CC for our buffet @ Walden Ponds and our dessert service. When our guest list nearly doubled, we struggled to find options in our budget. Timing for the day was also of concern. CC worked with us to create a plan that did not disappoint! If given the opportunity, you must book CC. They are not your average caterer. You could see the heart and soul they put into every piece of our wedding day.

Excellent Wedding Catering

If you're looking for a wedding caterer, look no further! Cincinnati Catering catered to my daughter's wedding on November 6th, 2021. Brad provided excellent service from start to finish. The tasting appointment gave us variety to choose from and was so personal. The prices are reasonable and the food was excellent! Everything from the servers, chafing pans, carving station, clearing staff, cleaning up afterwards, and the service with a smile made this a memorable event. My guests still rave about how delicious the food was. They were on time, food was hot and tasty, they placed napkins and salt & pepper shakers on each table, and even dressed professionally! I would highly recommend them. It was so nice to enjoy the day without worrying about the catering part of the event. They come with my highest recommendation.

Cincinnati Catering was absolutely amazing! They were great to work with!

We absolutely loved working with Cincinnati Catering from the beginning to the end. The tasting was the best we went to. They were so easy to work with and they offered so many helpful tips and ideas. The process was seamless and they were very responsive and accommodating to my requests. I had asked to borrow a nap for color scheme and they offered it up without hesitation. The pricing was amazing and the quality of food was soo good. They even did our desserts. My husband doesn't like cake, so they worked with me to come up with ideas for a dessert bar. Not only was the food and desserts amazing at the tasting they were that amazing the day of our wedding. Their staff was excellent to work with before and at the wedding. I highly recommend them for weddings and any catering for that matter. We had so many guests rave about the food and desserts as well. Overall amazing experience and made it so easy of a process the whole time.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
