Yummy Colby's Catering!

With the venue, came a deal with Colby’s Catering for the reception food. When we had our initial meeting with the venue, we could not believe how much food we got for the reception! We got an abundance of appetizers, a buffet with two entrees and six sides, two dessert options (or one dessert and one midnight snack). Colby’s has an amazing tasting event for if you book with one of the barns or book with them separately. And you can go to as many as you would like. They make everything they offer, minus the appetizers, and you can try everything as much as you want. The staff even walk around to answer questions, so you don’t have to go looking for them. The day of the wedding, the food was fresh and hot! The buffest line was so smooth too. It was done in under a half hour. I was beyond impressed. And at the end, we got to bring everything home!

Every guest raved about the food

The food was delicious, every last bite. Our appetizers were amazing. My favorites were the mini meatballs. My husband is pickier than I am and he even loved those and the mini quiches. As for dinner, it was all so very good. The steamship round was tender and flavorful. The planning and communication with the vendor was always so easy. Highly recommend.

Colby’s catered my wedding at Jerris Wadsworth in September and they were AMAZING! Jim and his staff were so friendly and easy to work with. They were patient with us after making a few changes to the food selection for the buffet. The food was delicious on our special day and honestly one of my favorite parts about my wedding. We received so many compliments from guests regarding the food and friendly service.

Highly recommend!

Not only does Colby’s cater the BEST food buffet and dessert for your wedding, but if you book your wedding at one of the barn venues they partner with, you get Jim Colby as your go to man for anything and everything related to the venue and food! He was so helpful each and every time I texted/called him with questions regarding our food or things that were included for our wedding at Jerris Wadsworth Wedding Barn! I highly recommend going Colby’s for food and dessert options that your guests won’t stop talking about!

Colby's Catering recently catered our wedding this past Saturday at Cobblestone Wedding Barn. From the beginning, when we stopped in to their restaurant in Rush, Colby's Catering won us over with their delicious food and deserts. From there, we began working with them to pick our favorites and create our wedding menu. They were extremely easy to work with and honestly took all our worries away. Our wedding guests were raving about the food. We were even lucky enough to take home some food and desert to enjoy at our leisure. We recommend Colby's Catering to anyone who is looking for a yummy, professional catering company.

They were AMAZING and everyone raved about our food. We had about 90 guests and the cost was very low for how amazing the food was. We only paid about 1400 after delivery and our venue was a hike from their headquarters. They gave us everything we wanted and more. We could not be happier that we booked this company!! I would highly recommend their catering and their restaurant to everyone!!
