One of the best aspects of our wedding!

I'll be honest, I thought other reviewers were exaggerating a bit about their guests commenting on Donelson's food but I kid you not, at least a dozen people went out of their way to tell us how amazing the food was at our wedding. The rosemary chicken was outstanding, and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I also highly recommend the crostinis! One guest said wedding food tends to be bleh at best, definitely not memorable, but they were blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. Huge thank you to Donelson's and Kimberly from our new family!

Our guests are still raving about the food!

The food was amazing! We got married October 21, 2022, and our guests are still talking about how great the food was! It was a pleasure working with Donelson’s as they were very responsive & extremely professional! They were able to accommodate us perfectly. Even with us living out of town, they were able to make arrangements for us to have our tasting when we’re able to get to Memphis. There are not enough words thank them for making our day even more special than it already was!

Best caterer!

We used Donelson’s Catering for our daughter’s wedding reception. Kim was extremely helpful and accommodating. The food was exceptional! Kim and her staff were wonderful. We received so many compliments on the food. The presentation was beautiful also.

Donelson's Catering

If I could give Donelson's Catering more then 5 stars, I most definitely would. I just got married in December 2021 and hands down A++++ from the tasting all the way up to the wedding. They are very responsive and they become like family. I seriously miss working with them. Their food is off the charts. Almost 2 months later, my guest still talk about how amazing the food was at the wedding. One of the comments were "I've never had food like this at a wedding." I can not recommend them enough. I'm so glad I found them and hope to use them again soon at another event. Don't walk but run to book them for any upcoming event. You will not regret it.

Just perfect

JUST PERFECT!!! If there were 10 stars, I would mark all 10!!! Donelson's Catering provided excellent food and service for our daughter's wedding in April. The guests loved the food choices. They are still telling us how much they enjoyed the cocktail hour and the dinner meal. We were so pleased with the entire experience. I can assure you that the Donelsons will be asked to cater many more events for our family. Professional service at its best!!!

All Around Fo To for Catering

We have used Donelson’s many times for work functions with great success. Big and small events. I recently contact for a small private luncheon. Everyone was pleased with the menu choices, the herb roasted chicken was juicy and flavorful, au gratin potatoes were excellent, and the green been broccoli medley cooked perfectly. Awesome job, awesome service!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
