Great experience

We hired From Scratch catering for our wedding at The Treasury. We were lucky to have to opportunity to attend 2 tastings with From Scratch, one plated and one buffet as we were planning on a family style dinner service. We never had a single bad item at either tasting. They were extremely flexible in letting us choose from both their plated and buffet menus to make a perfect family style combination for us.
The appetizers they had were creative and delicious and were honestly some of my favorite choices we made. They made sure to have plenty of apps waiting at the head table as my husband and I were busy with photos our whole cocktail hour and I was so grateful for that!
Day of the dinner service went smoothly and the staff took special attention to make sure my husband and I had time to eat between greeting guests. Everyone raved about how amazing the food was, especially the beef. Actually, the first text I received the morning after our wedding was from one of my bridesmaids who said “I will dream of that mac and cheese for the rest of my life.”
From Scratch’s close relationship with The Treasury made our day so seamless and I’m so grateful for an amazing food experience as I know food can make or break a wedding experience.

I wish there were more than 5 stars! These guys were beyond amazing. We had compliments on the food all night. How often do you go to a wedding and actually like the food? Well it can actually happen! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The bar staff was amazing! But most importantly the food was awesome and we have so very picky eaters not to mention a lot of food allergies that they accommodated. I honestly cannot sat enough, but planning a wedding and finding the right vendors can be challenging. Let me help and just say BOOK NOW and save yourself the time and stress.
