Organized Vendor and Excellent Food

I had worked with Food for Thought previously for several work events and always found them professional and having very good food. With a 225 person wedding with quite a few dietary restrictions and allergies, we knew that a lot of typical wedding caterers were not an option. Food for Thought worked with us and gave us several options that were great choices for our guests. Our guests were still talking about how good the food was several months later! Despite a staffing change part way through the process, as soon as they realized that we needed a new point of contact, they were attentive and prompt. On the wedding day, we had absolutely no doubts that we were in good hands for food, waitstaff, and bartenders. Nicole Bakker and Liz Naylor were particularly wonderful and made the day of the wedding flow very smoothly.

Food for Thought was great to work with! They made the whole experience from booking to the tasting to the reception easy for us. The food at our wedding was amazing and the servers were so professional and helpful! I would recommend them to anyone!

We haven't had our wedding yet, but the tasting we had was awesome. Eden was very nice, and all emails with questions were answered in a timely manner, which was very much appreciated during our search process where I'm balancing a job and other responsibilities with wedding planning.

Our venue is not a traditional wedding venue, and it is not in the most convenient location, so many caterers had high travel fees, and the cost was nearly double our quote from Food For Thought. I was pleasantly surprised at our tasting with the high quality of the food we sampled! We look forward to serving it to our guests at the wedding.

Staff at food for thought did a great job with everything. Nothing but great comments about appetizers, food and desserts. Provided options to customize rather packages. Service was awesome. Donna and staff coordinated cookies, cake and coffee which were supplied by others. Helped so much we could actually enjoy the day.

Food for Thought was fantastic to work with. We luckily had the option of using the catering at the actual venue or going with an outside caterer. After meeting with the local vendor who was so rude and unaccommodating, we reached out to Food for Thought. They were incredibly responsive to our needs and budget. The food was fantastic and the service was so professional, even with their limited resources available to them at the venue.

The Food for Thought team was great!! Bonnie was very responsive with the initial quoting and then Mary helped with the planning process. Eden was there for the rehearsal and throughout the entire day on our wedding day. The whole team was very polite and professional and willing to help with anything we needed.They were reasonably priced and very accommodating. When we had to make a few last minute changes, they were right on top of things and made the whole process very easy. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in the area and will use them again for any other catering needs in the future!!

Susan Miga is an amazing and wonderful woman! She worked so hard to give us what we wanted and she succeeded beyond our expectations. She and her staff work very very hard to make your wedding wonderful. They are so focused on pleasing the customer...she becomes a supportive friend. She gives you tips on how to save money and actually lower your catering bill! Amazing! The food was elegant and exquisite. There was nothing left and many people told me how good everything was. I plan to use them for more than just my wedding...they were great!

Susan Miga and her staff were wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. She is very kind and loves to meet new people and couples. The food was great, from the little I was able to eat that night (too excited!) and from what we heard from our guests. Only minor complaint would be responsiveness at times, but it was nothing that caused any stress. I know the caterer has a lot going on all the time (which is great!), and when they did get back to us, they always gave us plenty of time and attention. Just took a couple extra days sometimes :) Highly recommended!

Food for Thought did a wonderful job overall at our wedding. They were very prompt in communications, very knowledgable about serving sizes & food pairings, and very helpful during the walkthrough. We had a buffet dinner and the food was delicious. The only pitfall was that some guests commented that certain food items were not hot as they should have been.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
