Amazing Experience

Due to COVID we had to change our wedding venue and needed to find a caterer. We reached out to Creative Catering, they we responsibly priced and provided many of the needed equipment for our day. The food was so delicious and the staff was professional arrived on time. Creative Catering helped our wedding day run so smooth.

When Plan B is actually better than Plan A.

Like many couples during the pandemic, my clients had to -quickly pivot from Plan A to Plan B. A dreamy all-inclusive venue to a backyard affair. Now that they weren't stuck to fit within a package, they hired Creative Catering. This allowed the bride and groom to create the menu they always wanted. A beautiful, over the top charcuterie board and even delicious lobster tail. Can't forget the lobster bibs! The event went off without a hitch and Creative Catering really stepped up to the plate and provided such a great experience for not only the couple but for all their guests as well.

I Highly Recommend Creative Catering!

We had to cancel our original wedding and decided to move forward with a much smaller, more intimate gathering. We planned every detail in just 1 week! We decided to have a nice plated meal with our smaller guest list (not originally in the budget) and I reached out to Creative Catering 6 days before our event! I honestly did not have high expectations at the time knowing it was so last minute but Tanya was so responsive and flexible to work with, she really put my mind at ease. On our wedding day, we were off taking pictures with our photographer when Tanya and her team showed up. They had already gotten started and were serving our guests amazing apps when we returned. Everyone RAVED about the food! The whole team was just so nice and friendly. I can't thank Creative Catering enough for jumping on board last minute and providing an experience for our guests that really made our day extra special. I would recommend Creative Catering to everyone - and would not hesitate using them again!

Catering for small wedding 10/10/20

We had hired creative catering for a bigger wedding originally planned for 10/10/20. When covid hit and we decided to shrink our guest size to much smaller of 24 people, creative catering was flexible and gracious with us and our requests. Tanya is amazing at timely responses and helpful with any questions you have. Our food at our wedding was amazing, we upgraded to a nice dinner with a beautiful charcuterie board as an appetizer. Everyone loved it and felt very satisfied from their meal. They went above and beyond with our rentals as well. Creative catering is amazing and we will definitely use them again in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
