Wonderful food and professional staff

I used Dish and Design to cater my wedding. They were incredibly professional from start to finish. They spent time with me on the phone going through in-depth ideas and details, they followed up on email in a timely and detailed manner, the food on the wedding day was wonderful, and the staff was friendly and buttoned-up! I had many guests compliment my catering.

The best part of my experience with Dish and Design is that they stepped up to help solve an issue with another vendor that failed to deliver. The Dish and Design team proposed solutions and help rectify a situation that wasn't even their fault. Amazing team - highly, highly recommend!

They Saved Our Wedding!

2 months before our big day, our caterer who I had booked over a year in advance, cancelled on us. Dish & Design truly saved us! Not only were they extremely caring during our initial conversations, but I could tell right away they were determined to make our day perfect. They replicated our original menu, even added on some items, and came in under budget! The food was SO GOOD I find myself shaking my head thinking I almost went with somebody else. We had multiple guests going back for seconds and thirds! They even let us keep the leftover food to eat for a late night snack at our after party :) If I could do it again, I would've hiring D&D right from the beginning. I'm so thankful my coordinator recommended them to me!

Best Wedding Catering Ever!

We used Dish and Design for our wedding and it was the best decision we made! The food was delicious and guests are still raving about how good it was! I am not lying when I say the servers could not get across the room during cocktail hour because guests were trapping them to grab more. My family are huge foodies and Dish and Design did not disappoint!
We did a tasting about a year in advance and made changes along the way with no problem. We worked with Corey and she is amazing!
The bar service was also wonderful and I must say everything went perfectly and we could not have asked for more!
