An Unforgettable Wedding Experience with ENCORE Catering & Banquet Center

I cannot recommend ENCORE Catering & Banquet Center enough! They did an amazing job for my wedding, exceeding all our expectations. From the planning stages to the final details, the staff was incredibly professional, attentive, and accommodating.

Special thanks to Chris, who was fantastic to work with—his expertise, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and received rave reviews from our guests.

Thanks to ENCORE, our special day was truly unforgettable. If you're looking for top-notch service and a team that cares, look no further!

Amazing company

Encore made my special day the most amazing experience. Between my endless phone calls and requests, they did everything they could to make sure it went smoothly. The food was spectacular and I still have people talking about it a month and a half later! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Fabulous Celebration

Chef Bobby's skills are phenomenal! The food exceeded our expectations! All our guests complimented the food and how they were so delighted with the friendly staff and beautiful room. We had the best time celebrating my son's engagement and will forever have beautiful memories of this special evening all due to Chef Bobby and his staff going the extra mile to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. I cannot thank you enough Chef Bobby!

Incredible food, the ability to customise the menu

After Attending several events, I realized that the menu is a one of a kind. This isn't your average banquet hall, I was amazed from when I walked and saw the appetizers (Bacon Sugar coated, Smoked Salmon), When dinner was served people took photos of the plated meals, to share on Social Media, do to the fact that the plated meals looked like art. The late night snacks, presented themselves like another meal. I caught myself sending sharing pictures, and bragging. Keep up the good work.

As mother of the bride, I enjoyed the special treatment before my daughter's wedding when Chef Bobby treated us to a delicious tasting at the Banquet Center. Kelly was attentive to details, and she was helpful during this important time in our lives. After our special event, I had concerns about some aspects of what happened at the wedding reception, catered by Encore. The food was phenomenal--no question about that. It is important to share that when I spoke with Kelly and Chef Bobby about the concerns I had, they explained and clarified. Chef Bobby offered to host an additional party for us to make things right. As you consider caterers for an event, know that I highly recommend Encore. They do stand behind their claim, "We aim to please!"

Hit & Miss

Our Wedding was on Sunday September 4th, 2022. Everything was beautiful. However, you can tell in their staff who actually wanted to be there and who didn't. Charletta, Chris and Kathy are the superstars of this place. It’s one other server I didn't get her name she had pink/red hair she was super sweet. However, everyone else wasn't accommodating at all and that during the entire wedding planning process. Anytime I called and asked Kelly a question I felt like I was irritating her. We were told we couldn't do our rehearsal Friday or Saturday because events were booked, I tried to drop something off Saturday morning and they weren't there and how decor was already setup so I'm not sure if the event was a lie or they used our decor. The food, venue, and drinks were everything. So, I will give this venue a 3.5 out of 5.
