Dining Innovations

Dining Innovations catered the wedding for our daughter and her fiancé at Willow Falls, Hendersonville, in June 2021. Carolyn was wonderful to work with; professional, excellent communicator, and full of great ideas. She went above and beyond, even incorporating a family favorite recipe into the menu. Grilled bruschetta, chicken tenders, and a charcuterie & cheese board started us off, and the dinner menu included seared NY Strip Steak with a delicious wild mushroom demi-glace, and maple-soy glazed salmon. Our Day-Of Coordinator said she’d never worked with such a smooth running, professional catering vendor, and the food was wonderful. Thank you, Carolyn and Team! You helped to make our daughter’s wedding absolutely special!

Caroline from Dining Innovations was sweet, organized and efficient. She arrived to our Airbnb on top of a mountain and set up beautiful charcuterie boards for us all. She had our dinner ready right on time.. the food was hot/fresh and tasty. Great portions. She even packaged up the leftovers for us and cleaned the dinner table when we were finished eating. She made our night perfect! We highly recommend Dining Innovations. Wonderful experience.

From the first email to the post-wedding congratulations, Melanie was amazing to work with! Her energy and kindness made setting up catering the easiest and most fun part of wedding planning. I loved getting emails from her. My husband and I were looking for something different than their standard menu and sent her a couple of example menus from our favorite restaurants in Oaxaca, Mexico to see if something similar would be feasible. The chef LOVED that we wanted something out of the box. He had never made mole before but he knocked it out of the park! The tasting we did with them was mind blowing. We hired them on the spot and never talked with anyone else. When our rehearsal dinner plans fell through, we reached out again and asked if they would cater that too, but this time with a Moroccan theme. We didn't get to try anything before the night of and, man, we could eat that meal every week. If you are looking for something different, they have the imagination and skill to pull it off. If you are looking for something traditional, I have no doubt they would go above and beyond to make it beautiful and exploding with flavor. I cannot speak highly enough about Dining Innovations. They exceeded our expectations TWICE and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
