Professional and friendly

Sam and her team worked tirelessly to make sure our wedding went off without a hitch. The food was incredible, and Sam kept in contact with us continuously. They set everything up and tore it down in no time. Their expertise was irreplaceable, especially through unprecedented weather insanity. Sam made the night unforgettable, even through having a baby and planning her own wedding!

We booked a buffet-style dinner with china, silverware, and glasses provided by Corky's. Their value was phenomenal! We've used their services before for other family events and their food is always delicious! They had plenty of food for the amount of guests we had, plus seconds and leftovers! Our coordinator was very responsive to emails/calls since we live out of state. She was also very flexible for meeting times/ tasting. The staff was also able to recheck decorations at the venue to make sure everything was set the right way.
