Amazing Experience for our Wedding Reception

I would highly recommend Distinctive Catering. The customer service was outstanding...all questions were answered quickly and thoroughly in the days leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding was wonderful with the staff friendly and professional. We went with the buffet and the food was delicious and hot. In fact, we still get comments from those who attended saying it was the best food they have had at a wedding. The dessert bar was also very delicious. We have absolutely no complaints but instead the highest of praise for this company! We would absolutely use them again!

Great caterer for weddings

Distinctive Catering was amazing to work with. I emailed countless questions leading up to my wedding they catered and they always responded promptly and professionally. They were so easy to work with. DC also provided an extra table cloths even though we requested very close to our wedding date. Not only was the service great, the food was delicious. We went with the pasta/Italian buffet option and everything tasted great. I received multiple compliments from guests about how good the food was. Would definitely recommend Distinctive Catering for your event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
