Delicious!

Food was great and they were easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them for all catered events. Only thing I wish is that they would let us take the left overs home.

Great food and helpful staff

We hired Cutting Edge catering to cater our wedding in April of 2019. My husband and I were slightly cautious after reading a few negative reviews, but we have been in the 'people-pleasing' business before and know that there will always be people who are unhappy with service. After meeting Chad and having our tasting, we were happy to choose Cutting Edge for our catering. Not only did Cutting Edge have a great variety of food options that were all delicious, they also went above and beyond helping with many of the small details for us and they assisted with setup and tear down. They helped eliminate all the extra worry of how things were going to flow and get organized in time for the reception to begin. Chad was very patient with us as we navigated our way around planning a wedding. He was very quick and to the point at responding to our e-mails. His invoices were very informative, as they were broken down for each separate cost. The staff that we had at our wedding were also very helpful and friendly! We would highly recommend!

Thank You Cutting Edge Catering

Cutting Edge Catering catered by wedding reception and they were amazing! They were very responsive to e-mails and calls when we had questions or wanted to change some options. They are very professional and understanding. The reception went so well! Everyone said the staff was very nice and the food was great! The linens for the tables and chairs were beautiful. The baker they use for wedding cakes was also great! Everyone said the cake tasted great and it was beautiful!

Fantastic job by CEC! Had them cater my wedding and day after BBQ. Both events were awesome! Chad indeed does a great job making the process as easy as possible. He thinks of everything! I do have to make a comment on the staff who handled the wedding. My matron of honor just had shoulder surgery right before the wedding. One of the servers saw her struggling with her plate and came over and cut her food for her to make it as easy as possible for her to enjoy her meal. What a beautiful gesture! AWESOME JOB!!

Working with Chad was an experience we will not forget. We met a bride and her groom months before we decided on our venue (BOHC) and she couldn’t say enough great things about the venue and Chad. We did decide on BOHC because it was beautiful! Of course we had no idea what to do next! Chad quickly gave us direction. Our wedding experience seemed to have been one of the easiest projects we could have done. Chad had answers and ideas for us along with wonderful recommendations.
Speaking with Chad, he has a very calming personality and we really felt as though our wedding day was in the best hands. If there was something my husband and I didn’t mention, Chad made sure to bring it to our attention. He never once made us feel like he was selling a product to us. Our tasting was a fantastic event in itself. He shared ideas of what food combinations might go better than another and in all honesty- his recommendations were right.
We had interviewed several people for our DJ and I can tell you, there are some interesting people out there! Mike, the DJ from Better Than A Jukebox was amazing. We loved him from the moment we met him. While sitting with Mike, you can feel his desire to make this the best moment of our lives. He was honest and simple, not a lot of talk but a lot of doing.
At BOHC, the setting was perfect, there really was nothing for us to run around and do before hand. We were able to bring things over ahead of time and the staff put everything exactly where needed. The wedding site was beautiful and the reception room was perfect. The food was delicious and served timely. We didn’t hear any grumblings from our guests (and we would have if needed). The tables were spacious and the spacing was roomy. Plenty of room to dance and Mike providing music that had us all dancing all night long.
We couldn’t have asked for service and we highly recommend Cutting Edge. They really know what they are doing with many compliments from our guests.

Cuttting Edge did a great job! Chad was very helpful in all aspects of planning. The night of the reception, Stephanie was wonderful. We had a couple of unexpected events and Cutting Edge handled them beautifully. I had complete freedom knowing my caterers were handling everything.
