The Best Service

I couldn’t recommend Dupree catering more. I myself am a wedding professional and manage a venue. I LOVE working with Dupree every time. They are always on time, always professional, also have the best food, and always clean up! The staff is friendly and kind and they always do a great job.

Downing Rehearsal Dinner

Tom Evans and his staff helped make our son and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner a special night. They were highly professional, totally flexible, and had plenty of new ideas for our dinner to make it one-of-a-kind! Thanks again Dupree Catering!!

Can't go wrong!

Catered my daughter's wedding last week. we could not have been more pleased with the quality of services well as the quality of the food. Warner was a pleasure to work with, guiding us through all of the options and menu choices to come up with delicious offerings for cocktail hour and dinner. I can't say enough about the professionalism and organization of the staff. I've have never been to a wedding where the waitstaff were as professional and helpful as we experienced.

Halcombs Knob LLC Halcombs Knob LLC Barn & Farm Weddings

Recently Halcomb's Knob B&B, an affiliate member with the BBAK (Bed and Breakfast Association of Kentucky) had the pleasure of experiencing the first-rate quality and service of Dupree Catering. Dupree's staff were professional, providing a group of B&B owners with exceptional service a cocktail reception at the Buffalo Trace Distillery that was second to none. As the owner of Halcomb's Knob B&B and BBAK President, I highly recommend this catering company and look forward to working with Dupree Catering again in the near future at our venue!
