Great team!

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!

Perfect venue for rehearsal party/dinner

Was recommended by wedding planner and was the best choice. Catering manager and staff made the party perfect and food was superb. We could not have been more pleased. Professional and easy to work with. Since I live out of town i was relieved that it was all delicious and exactly what bride and groom expected.

Wedding catering

Ivan was such a blast to work with! We sat down for a very fun tasting with our parents and were presented with an impressive spread. Ivan was flexible with our budget. I changed the menu several times and Ivan was always quick to help me figure out what would work with my budget. And he even helped me rebook for my wedding when we had to CANCEL it 3 days beforehand due to a hurricane! He did not have to do this, but they were so understanding and helpful. I would highly recommend them due to they professionalism and creativity. 5 stars! Great food!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
