Excellent bar service and set up

I engaged these folks to do the bar tending at my wife’s surprise 70th birthday party and they were outstanding. They arrived early, the set-up was professional and they were fun, courteous and hard working. They bussed tables and were able to make any cocktail that anyone wanted. It was an outside bar and right at 100 degrees, but they maintained a professional and fun attitude. We did manage to set them up in the shade.

I cannot say enough good things about these folks. I had a lot of positive comments from my guests about the crew. We had a large gathering of nearly 80 folks.

The “D” in Dagar’s stands for Delicious

We loved working with Dagar’s Catering! Their professionalism throughout the entire process was so reassuring. There wasn’t a question they could not answer or request they couldn’t fulfill. And they truly are a cater-to-you company! They worked with us every step of the way to make sure any dietary restrictions or needs were met. They did not quit until we were completely satisfied with our selections. I would recommend Dagar’s to anyone looking for an affordable and friendly catering service.

Amazing food and service!!!

Alanna and the Dagar's team were amazing! They provided catering, bar, and setup/takedown services for our wedding. They truly made our wedding possible and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Alanna was so patient and attentive during the planning process. The staff were so generous and professional, even with the unexpected rain leading up to the ceremony. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic!

I have been to so many weddings where guests comments on food were that it was subpar “but no one goes to a wedding for the food.” I had so many of our guests come up to me during our reception and comment on how good the food actually was. Alanna was absolutely fantastic through the tasting and planning process. We had two guests with dietary restrictions and Dagars ensured they had plates that evening. The cocktails were fantastic and the price was very reasonable in comparison to other bids we were provided. I would absolutely recommend this company!

Highly recommend!

Dagar’s was such a great vendor to work with! Alanna was so communicative and above and beyond helpful in answering questions and managing changes leading up to our wedding. We catered 80 people with a family style service and had guests raving about the apple butter pork and all of the appetizers. The staff was so nice and friendly on the day of our wedding, always making sure we had water or a drink and making sure all of our guests had what they needed. They ran on schedule all night with toasts and the late night snack and we couldn’t recommend them enough!! We’re so glad we found them!

Delicious and professional.

We absolutely loved having Dagar’s as our caterer. Not only was the food delicious (our guests raved and raved, particularly about the brisket), but their staff was extremely professional and courteous. We also had a great experience working with the sales lead Alanna, who helped us curate the perfect menu for our wedding reception.

Loved dagar's

Dagar's was THE BEST. Their food tasted amazing, they were so responsive, I had a great tasting experience pre-wedding, and they set me up with Sugar Shaker Bakery for my cake which was also phenomenal.

We got so many compliments for the food - many people telling us it was the best food they'd had had at a wedding. The servers were wonderful and attentive. And everything ran so smoothly. God bless Dagar's!

Easy, Affordable, DELICIOUS!

My husband and I got married at the height of COVID last year so our wedding plans were majorly in flux. Dagar's was so incredibly patient and flexible with us as we made the tough decision to scale down our 86 guest wedding to a 14 guest wedding. We ended up choosing the beef tenderloin for our more intimate affair and it was INCREDIBLE! Our guests still comment today about how wonderful the food was - a rare thing indeed when it comes to wedding cuisine! People actually asked for seconds! They even took care of us for the next day packing us each a plate of leftovers. Such amazing service and food. Just hire them - your tummy and the tummies of your guests will thank you!

Dagar's is amazing!

We just used Dagar's for our wedding on 3/27/21, and couldn't be happier with our choice! From the beginning of the process Kathryn was very easy to work with - she answered all of our questions, made adjustments as needed and was super transparent. She even made sure we had a full out tasting in the midst of Covid.

It was honestly very hard to choose which items we wanted because everything we tried was so yummy! We ended up going with the Chimichurri Chicken as our main course, and OMG it was delicious! We got so many compliments from our guests! Their staff and service was outstanding as well, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Dagar’s is the best!

I experienced Dagar’s catering at my niece’s wedding and couldn’t get over their professionalism and their delicious food! We wanted barbecue at my daughter’s wedding so we were a little concerned not to use a barbecue establishment for our food! Nevertheless, we decided to go wit Dagar’s because it was a turnkey business who did it all!! When I say they did it all, I mean it!! There were SO many times we said, “Who is going to do this?” or “ Who is doing that?” And we were alway so relieved when we realized Dagar’s was handling it! Working with Kathryn was a delight! She is personal , sweet, professional and helpful!! The servers and bartenders were also beyond friendly, helpful and professional!!! Now back to the barbecue! No barbecue establishment could have laid a hand to the taste of our meal that night! The meats, sides, appetizers and even the bread was out of this world! They helped make our night a huge success!! The reception felt like a five star restaurant! I 100% recommend Dagar’s!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Dagar's was one of our first caterers many years ago and we have recently started working together again. Their food is amazing and they have a much wider array of options than many other caterers. They are also reasonably priced. We definitely recommend that you include them in your short list!
