Mouthwatering Food with Royal Service

By far Delectables by Holly prepares wedding food that's among the best we've tasted (that's saying a lot because food tasting is an event planner perk). It's clear they prepare everything from scratch! Their presentation and impeccable service matches the delicious dishes. We have guests from our last wedding that are still raving about the food and the friendly, attentive service they received.

We had a great experience with Angie from Delectables by Holly. She was super easy to work with, and she was flexible with us on our timeline. Several people at our reception commented on how delicious the food was (someone even asked for the recipe for one of the appetizers). I also appreciated how Angie was honest with us about what we should spend money and what would we could skimp on. We would definitely work with her again!

Delectables by Holly catered my daughters seated wedding reception dinner for 245. It was hands down the best food from a caterer I have ever had and the compliments from our guest just keep coming. The filet was absolutely amazing. Served hot and cooked to perfection. A cattle rancher was among our guest and even he said it was a delicious cut of beef. Appetizers were amazing (shout out for the angel biscuits) and the banana pudding on the dessert bar was a show stopper. Angie Hoos has the patience of a saint and knows her business well. The kitchen and serving staff were professional and guest committed on how great the service was. If I could give 10 stars I would. Love DBH.

This is an unbelievable catering company! Angie is very pleasant to work with and thinks of every detail. I have used them for a number of parties including my son's engagement party. The food was amazing and the servers were excellent, everyone at the party were truly impressed by the quality of the catering. Thank you Angie and the entire staff from Delectables by Holly for always delivering a great party!!

How do i start? Angie Hoos is an angel! She literally went above and beyond for our wedding, we are eternally grateful! Not only is she unbelievably genuinely kind and caring but she is truly amazing at what she does! I am so grateful that we chose Delectables by holly; they were the only catering company we met with and we instantly booked them. We had to change our menu for the wedding very late in the process and Angie was so accommodating and understanding. She eased my stress at all times and it was truly like working with a friend!! At the wedding ; the entire team was fantastic and the food was even better than we imagined it would be! We had lots of guests comment on how amazing the food was! Our wedding cake was literally to die for too! We are so thrilled with all they did for us & thank them so very much!! I highly recommend this company, you will not be disappointed!

Delectables by Holly was absolutely wonderful to work with from planning to execution. Angie was the event specialist with whom we worked, and we so appreciated her sound advice every step of the way. It is so comforting to know you're working with someone who cares about you so much. Delectables by Holly offers a wide selection of menu items, and Angie helped us to narrow our choices down to the perfect combination for us and our guests. Three of our favorite menu items are their shrimp and grits, crab cakes and ham biscuits. At our wedding reception, they made sure we were able to eat both appetizers and dinner, and everyone was so kind and professional. We are so thankful we chose Delectables by Holly. We cannot recommend them enough!

We hired Holly to cater my daughter's engagement party, and our expectations were far surpassed! The party for 85 was to be at our home, which was under construction, and we moved in only days before the party. When Holly came to preview the space and plan, there was no furniture, and workers were all over. Her professionalism and expertise were clear, and she didn't miss a beat. She easily made a plan as to where to set up and serve the food.
The night of the party, her staff came and set up just as if they had already been there and planned. The displays were beautifully tied into our theme... they were spectacular! We had my brother's wine truck set up outside, and I had told Holly I wanted "food truck" type food. She carried out the details to a tee. The creative way she displayed the shrimp tacos on a tower, the beef and pork sliders, the tomato bisque in little shot glasses all came together looking professionally decorated.... hurricanes and candles, even an antique red truck used to tie in our theme! The presentation was beyond our expectations-- very upscale casual with a food truck vibe!
Often when my husband and I have been to catered parties, the food might be well presented, and taste just so-so. Not so with Holly! The food was absolutely delicious, and I would say, besides the bride and groom, was the hit of the party! So many people were commenting on the food, and wanted to know who we had hired.
Her staff were absolute professionals, efficient, great personalities, and very accommodating. They handled everything expertly. When they left our home after the party, everything was cleaned, leftovers were packaged and labeled, and we really couldn't tell they had even been here.
Holly will definitely cater our next event!

Working with Angie and Delectables by holly was like working with my favorite friend! We met with Angie and went no further in terms of interviewing other caterers for our outdoor wedding which was held at our new home. Angie made everything so easy and wouldn't allow me to do anything but walk down the aisle and enjoy my day! The catering staff was so professional and went out of their way to ensure that our event was fun, carefree, and full of good food. The food was outstanding and our guests are still talking about the wonderful menu. There are so many choices for your menu, which made this more fun, and the value was excellent in terms of the food quality and quantity. Angie even took care of the tents. I had one vendor for bartending, food, tents, and all rentals. Thank you for a wonderful day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
