Easy, pleasant and detail oriented!

They were a dream to work with. They went over and above what we asked of them. They were so easy and cared so much about our event. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. We had a stress free wedding because of the staff. Matt and Beatrice, the owners are amazing people!

Absolutely Loved It!

My husband and I absolutely loved Genesis Catering! The venue was beautiful (we loved the lights), and we loved the fact that we could bundle with the DJ and the cake--it made life a lot easier. Everything flowed so smoothly, and we received so many compliments about the food! We highly recommend this place!

11/10 Recommend!

We were thoroughly pleased with Genesis! The pricing is great and we got so many compliments on the food. All of our guests had so much fun. I loved that they set everything up for you so it is one less stress you have to worry about. We had a couple odd requests (i.e. having the Blues game on the TV's) that they found a way to accomplish and make happen for us. I would recommend them to anyone!

Genesis created an everlasting memory for our family.

Excellent Venue!!! Everyone at Genesis went over and beyond my expectations for my Daughter and Son-in-law's wedding reception on August 24, 2019. Our guests are still telling us what a great time they had. Megan is so nice, organized, made all of the planning easy, stress-free and enjoyable. Megan and Sharon were so great at contacting me back when there were calls with questions I had. When I showed up at the reception, the room was decorated so lovely, From the entryway, to the centerpieces, the memory table, head table, and the lighting, it was truly amazing. Everything was perfect! Matt made sure everything was just how we planned it to be. Matt continued to make sure things ran smoothly throughout the whole evening. The Roast Beef, Chicken Modega, Cheddar Souffle Potatoes, Cavatelli Con Broccoli Petite Green Beans, Classic Caesar Salad and Rolls created a perfect menu for our reception. Thank you to the chefs for the absolute, most delicious meal. The buffet lines went fast, and there was plenty of food for everyone.
We had over 250 people at the reception, and had the whole place to ourselves. There was enough of room on the dance floor for everyone,
The photo booth was a big hit! It was used all night long. We have many fun pictures to look back on.
I can't thank Matt, Megan, Sharon, and the whole Genesis staff enough for working hard to make everything so perfect and memorable.

Highly recommend

Genesis did an awesome job on my daughters wedding! Chad and Megan were very easy to work with and always available when needed. I called multiple venues and no one else had a price anywhere comparable to Genesis and the food was great! I would not hesitate to recommend them to others!
