Great food, great people

DINE was amazing! The food was great, especially the appetizers. They have so many options for food and it is all so good, it was hard to make choices. The chef/owner is so kind. There were 80 guests, and we had a plated dinner, and everyone was served so quickly. The owner worked with us on payments, putting our mind at ease. They are definitely worth the price, and could honestly charge more LOL. Thank you DINE!

Amazing Food and Service

Mark, Lou, and their team were amazing! They served the most deliciously breath taking hors d'oeuvres. From the moment we met at the Dine Cafe for sampling we knew the DINE Catering team was a must for our vendor team. They are kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. I am so thankful to the this amazing team for making cocktail hour one of a kind with amazing food and service! We are forever grateful and cannot wait for our next event so we can have Mark, Lou, and their team involved!

Dine Catering and Events


Dine Catering and Events-hands down the best food we ever had is a comment we keep hearing from our guests! Mark and Louise are both absolutely amazing- from the tasting to the day of our daughter’s wedding they went beyond to ensure our guest food experience was like going to a fine restaurant! The food, service, and presentation is top notch at affordable prices! Not only are Mark and Louise amazing at what they do they are so incredibly kind. -We feel we made friends for life in them! Nothing was out of the question for them, they truly worked to make sure everything was perfect! I even contacted them last minute for lunch for my daughter and her bridesmaids and they put together and delivered the most exquisite tea boxes! Again-the food, presentation, and service is top class, and if you want the best then I highly recommend Dine! Thank you Mark and Louise!

Mother of the Bride

DINE Catering, owners Chef Mark and Louise, as well as their staff, did an outstanding job from start to finish, for our daughter and son in love’s wedding. Food was delicious and well presented, tables dressed with attention to detail, they anticipated all of our needs, made suggestions or offered options, and
just “ get” what exceptional service is and how important a wedding day is, and seemingly small details truly matter. They worked well with the other professionals, have great insight, and have a “Can Do, Will Do, Done” disposition, no matter what the need is. They delivered as promised, were available and genuine throughout this season of preparation, even in the throws of twists and turns with Covid. Highly recommend! Delightful people and delicious food!

DINE Catering is the BEST

Mark and Louise with DINE Catering were absolutely wonderful to work with. My wife and I got through all of the big parts of planning our wedding, but we had so many problems finding the most important part: the food! Our officiant told us to check out DINE, and so we did and things could not have gone better. Mark and Louise responded quickly, and within a week we were at the shop for the tasting. We were so impressed with the food that we knew we were ready to put money down right on site! Mark knows his way around food, he knows how your menu should look, and he even worked a seated dinner when our budget told us buffet only! The staff was unbelievable on the wedding day, and our guests were so impressed with the food, the service, everything! You cannot go wrong with DINE catering your event!

Awesome Caterer!

Working with Mark and Louise was so easy! From initial contact to the tasting and then through the wedding, communication was always quick and helpful and they really made sure we were getting the most for our money. They have tons of experience with large crowds which was a huge plus for us and their food was delicious. They are also the nicest people! Highly recommend!

Best Wedding Caterers Ever!

I don't even know where to start with how amazing Mark and Louise are! We actually didn't even book our venue until we made sure they had availability for our date, and they were great throughout the entire process. They were very responsive and professional - I called them so many times throughout the planning period, and they literally answered every single time - not once was I sent to voicemail. Chef Mark has an incredible repertoire of dishes from many different cuisines, and that's what really drew us in. And we loved being able to customize our menu. For our wedding we had a seated dinner, and we had the opportunity to offer our guests a choice between 5 different entrees! But above all, the service provided the day of our event was phenomenal. My husband and I had already resigned to the fact that we wouldn't be eating much the day of our wedding, but they made sure we were taken care of. Chef Mark even sent someone to specifically follow us around while we took pictures during the cocktail hour to make sure we had some of the delicious hors d'oeuvres. Everyone loved the food and how beautifully it was all presented. The owners of our wedding venue told us later how much they enjoyed working with DINE and how professional, efficient, and on top of things everyone was. We highly recommend DINE Catering and Events!

Custom Chic and Homestyle Class Wedding Cuisine

Amazing service, food and people! Mark and Louise are fabulous in person, via email and in the kitchen. They created exactly what we had envisioned and told them we wanted and the quality was incredible. We had a 400 person wedding and they delivered the works all night. I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone looking for a caterer, large events or small.
