The Whole Package

Holmes Catering was a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding and on the big day. While choosing a caterer, we were able to go to one of Holme's group tastings and were happy that the food at our wedding was high quality like it was at the tasting. The food options were vast, and the quality truly was awesome and not like 'typical' catering that tends to include overcooked meat, and bland sides.

During the planning process, Holmes Catering made it easy to see how much we would spend on food, which helped with our budgeting process. It was also very convenient that we were able to directly rent our linens from them as they took care of bringing them, setting them up, and cleaning them. On the day of, their staff was on top of it despite issues we had with our venue/lack of communication from the venue to the caterers. The staff members were attentive, professional, and kind. My husband and I were served at our table while guests went through the line, and they made sure to provide a to go box for us to take at the end of the day.

I'm so grateful we worked with Holmes!

Fantastic Food and Service

We used this company with Lion's Gate Manor as our venue. They were quick to respond and very easy to work with. You meet with them in the beginning to choose linens, place settings, etc. We rented centerpieces and linens with them and it was such a great decision. Anything you rent through them, they setup and also take down. It made cleanup at the end of the night so much easier! You talk with them again a few weeks prior to the wedding to confirm menu and other selections. The food is absolutely fantastic and we received many compliments.

Fantastic food and service

We met with Sarah initially, and she was so helpful in working with our budget and vision to create a wedding menu that was perfect for us! Throughout wedding planning, Sarah was very easy to get in touch with, and we were able to make changes to our menu after attending the tasting. The company was so professional and wonderful making everything happen on our wedding day! And wow, the chicken in Jack Daniels cream sauce was an absolute HIT with us and our guests!

Delicious food

All our guests were raving about the delicious food. We are still hearing comments about how great it was, even from our most “hard to please” friends. We had creamy chicken with spinach and tomatoes, mashed potato bar, salad, and green beans. The serving staff was professional and quick to help any of our guests. The serving table was beautifully designed and Holmes made sure it fit well with the theme I had planned. Overall, it was fantastic. I would highly recommend Holmes Catering for any event, big or small.
